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.

View allI'm having this mild pain on the left side of my chest and left arm. It's a bit strange because my blood pressure and pulse rate are normal. It doesn't bother me when I'm walking, running, or even taking the stairs. The pain is mainly around the top left part of my chest and comes and goes, but is kind of always there. Should I be worried about this?

I experienced some pain in my left chest yesterday and remembered that I had an ECG done on December 8th. The results mentioned something about a "Non-specific T-wave abnormality." Could you help me understand what this means? I'm feeling a bit concerned about it.
Non-specific T-wave abnormalities on an ECG indicate changes in the heart's electrical activity that are not specific to any particular condition. It can be seen in various situations such as electrolyte imbalances, medication side effects, or even normal variation. It is important to correlate these findings with your symptoms and medical history. For chest pain, it is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing some weird noises coming from my chest and stomach, kind of like gurgling sounds. It started happening a lot, then stopped for about a month, but now it's back again. I'm confused if it's related to gas or something else. I've checked my pulse when it happens, and sometimes it pauses, but I'm not sure if I'm just not focusing enough because of the noise. It kind of feels like when your stomach growls from hunger, but it's happening in my chest. I've had PVCs with bigeminy and couplets, and once there was sinus tachycardia. I used to take beta blockers for anxiety, but I stopped at some point. Do you think this gurgling is related to my heart somehow? I also had acid reflux issues about two years ago, if that's relevant. My throat makes noises too. Is this something to worry about?
