I'm a 28-year-old female and I've been experiencing this pain between my breastbone. It happened again today while I was sleeping, and it lasted for about 3 to 4 hours. I remember feeling the same thing around 4 months ago, but it also only happens during sleep. I have no medical history to speak of. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

View allI'm feeling a bit worried because every time I move my left hand, I get this sudden cramp in the center of my chest. A couple of years back, I had an ECG, an echo, and a TMT done, but everything was normal. I also had an endoscopy, which only showed H. pylori. This pain has recently started again, and I'm not sure what it means. Could it be related to the H. pylori, or should I be concerned about something else?

I've been keeping track of my blood pressure, and it usually falls between 130140 and 8090 over the last month. I'm not keen on starting any medication right now and wonder if I can get it back to normal with a healthy diet. I don't smoke or drink, and I sleep well. I weigh 86 kg and am working on getting it down below 75 kg. I'm thinking being overweight might be the only reason for my high BP since my sugar levels and kidney function are normal. I get mild headaches approximately once every two weeks. Do you think focusing on weight loss and diet could help stabilize my blood pressure?
Maintaining a healthy diet can definitely help in managing your blood pressure. In addition to a healthy diet, it is important to maintain a healthy weight and engage in regular physical activity. Since you are already working on reducing your weight, that is a positive step towards improving your blood pressure. While being overweight can contribute to high blood pressure, it is not the only factor. Other factors such as diet, physical activity level, stress, and genetics can also play a role in blood pressure levels. I get mild headache once in two weeks or so. Mild headaches can sometimes be associated with high blood pressure. However, it is important to monitor your headaches and consult with a healthcare professional if they become more frequent or severe. As you are not currently on any medication and prefer to manage your blood pressure through lifestyle changes, I recommend focusing on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Additionally, reducing your sodium intake can also help in managing blood pressure. Regular physical activity and stress management techniques can further support your efforts in maintaining a healthy blood pressure level.
