I'm a 29-year-old male and I've just got my blood pressure checked and it's 140100. Honestly, I dont feel any symptoms like having high blood pressure, but I thought I would look into it further. I did a lipid profile test as well, and here are the results: total cholesterol is 244, HDL is 54, LDL is 146, VLDL is 44, and triglycerides are 232. Am I in a position where I should consider starting medication for this? I'm kind of worried and I'd appreciate any advice you can give.

Based on your blood pressure reading and lipid profile results, it is important to take steps to manage your cardiovascular health. With your age and lipid profile results, it is advisable to start medication to help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. I recommend starting a statin medication such as Atorvastatin to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider starting an antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine to help manage your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring of your blood pressure and cholesterol levels while on these medications. Making lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking can also greatly benefit your cardiovascular health.

Based on this information, there doesn't seem to be anything serious to be concerned about. It's always a good sign when test results come back normal.

Today I experienced some heat in my chest area, which is unusual for me, and it wasn't during my regular walks or runs either. I've been feeling mild chest pain on and off for the last eight months, but my tests like the echo ECG in April were normal, and my TMT in August came back negative too. I'm pretty active, walking daily and running, and haven't changed my dietno junk or spicy foods. Seeing the cardiologist got me a list of medications like Escitalopram, Gastoflora, and Alprazolam, among others, but I'm curious about this new sensation. Is it something to worry about, or could it be a side effect of the medications?
The heat on the chest area that you are feeling could be due to various reasons, including anxiety or musculoskeletal issues. The medications prescribed to you by the cardiologist are as follows: 1) Escitalopram tablets - 1 tablet in the evening 2) Gastoflora tablet - 1 tablet in the evening 3) Alprazolam tablet - 12 tablet in the morning and 12 tablet in the evening 4) Duloxetine capsule - 1 capsule after breakfast 5) Retizyme capsule - 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the evening 6) Etoricoxib soft gelatin capsule - 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the evening 7) Difen Gel ointment These medications suggest that the cardiologist may suspect an underlying anxiety or gastrointestinal issue. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and schedule as advised by the doctor. If you continue to experience chest pain or any concerning symptoms, please follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation.

I'm concerned about the results from my husband's recent TMT test. He's 49 years old, and I noticed that his blood pressure was 12080 at the start but increased to 13080 afterward. Is this cause for concern, or is it normal for blood pressure to rise like that after a TMT test?
