I'm a 33-year-old guy who hits the gym pretty regularly. I had my blood pressure checked around 2 p.m. and it was 140 over 80. Is that normal? Should I be concerned?

A blood pressure reading of 14080 is slightly elevated. For individuals under 60 years old, the ideal blood pressure is typically considered to be below 12080. Since you are physically active and regularly go to the gym, lifestyle modifications can be the first step in managing your blood pressure. However, if your blood pressure remains consistently elevated, medication may be necessary. I recommend you try to incorporate more cardiovascular exercise and a low-sodium diet into your routine. If needed, you can consider taking medications like Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

View allI've been noticing this weird movement in my chest right above the breast, almost like something's trying to burst out. When it happens, it's tough to breathe and my heart seems to race. I've been dealing with this for years, but recently it's getting much more intense. It can happen at any time whether I'm just lying down or walking around. Could you help me understand what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations or possibly an issue like acid reflux or a cardiac condition. Please see a doctor promptly to evaluate your heart and overall health, as these symptoms becoming stronger need attention.

My mom had cardiac aortic valve replacement surgery in 2013 when she was 47. Her PT has been stable around 1.6, usually staying between 1.2 and 2.0. But recently, a different cardiologist said her PT isn't good and should be in the 2-3 range. I'm confused because her levels have been consistent for years is this something we should be worried about? What should we do next?
Your cardiologist is right. It depends on which type of valve ur mom has. U can continuously monitor the PT INR through remote monitoring.

My heart rate is usually over 100 and I've been having trouble sleeping too. I recently had septoplasty surgery could these issues be related? What could be causing the high heart rate and sleep problems?
It's possible that your high heart rate and sleep problems are related to your recent septoplasty surgery, although it's not the only possibility. Both could be influenced by factors related to the surgery, such as the recovery process or any underlying issues addressed by the procedure
