I'm 21 and I've noticed my blood pressure readings are a bit all over the place. It was 149 over 78 at one point, and then it changed to 109 over 70. My pulse rate also jumps around from 110 to 72. I'm a bit worried and wondering if there's an issue or if this is normal for my age. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I'm really worried about my relative who had MVR surgery a year ago. Yesterday, he experienced severe abdominal pain and his blood pressure shot up to 190100, but it's back to normal now. His troponin level came back at 0.0527. Could you help me understand what this means for his heart health? Should we be concerned?

That says its positive,immediately get an ECG done and visit Cardiologist for appropriate management

I've been experiencing this off-and-on chest tightness and shortness of breath for several years now. It's like I can't catch my breath sometimes, and I have to take deep breaths to feel okay. I don't have any medical history, and Im not on any meds. I saw a couple of doctors, and they said it might be panic attacks. My ECG came back normal, but it seems to get worse when I lie down. Occasionally, I feel like I need to yawn to fully catch my breath. Could you help me understand what's going on?
