I'm always having chest pain, and it's weird because it gets worse when I'm sitting but seems to get better with walking, exercising, or lying down. This usually kicks in after sitting for over 2 hours at my office. It's been going on for a while now. Can anyone help figure out what might be going on?

View allI'm really worried about my dad's blood pressure. It's been 18090 even after I checked it twice, and then an hour later, it was 15088. He always brushes off his health issues, and I don't know how to help him keep his heart rate and blood pressure normal. What should I do?
High blood pressure can lead to serious health issues, so it's important to manage it properly. Here are some steps you can take to help maintain his blood pressure. Encourage him to follow a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. This can help lower blood pressure. You can also recommend the use of a salt substitute like LoSalt. Regular exercise is important for managing blood pressure. Encourage him to engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Stress management techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga can help lower blood pressure. Ensure he is taking his medications regularly if prescribed by a doctor. Common medications for high blood pressure include Amlodipine 5mg and Losartan 50mg. Encourage him to limit alcohol intake and quit smoking if he does. Regular monitoring of blood pressure at home and keeping a record of readings can help track progress and identify any patterns. Remember, these are general recommendations and it's important for your father to follow up with his healthcare provider for personalized advice and treatment.

I'm a 23-year-old female, around 130 lbs, and I'm really anxious about health stuff recently, especially after reading about various symptoms. A while back, I had the flu with fever, diarrhea, and a low appetite, and though those symptoms are gone, I still feel weak and lightheaded. It got me worried about an electrolyte imbalance. I took two 150 mg doses of fluconazole for a candida infection right after my flu, and I read that's something that could affect potassium levels. Sometimes, I think I'm having heart palpitations, with my resting pulse varying from 59 to 75. It feels like my heart is either pounding or too weak at times. The lightheadedness often kicks in after I walk a lot or panic. I've been trying to up my potassium intake but can't seem to reach the 4700mg target. Do you think this could lead to a significant imbalance or even a cardiac issue?

I'm experiencing some pain in my left arm for the past few days, and sometimes I feel it in my chest too. I decided to get an ECG done, and it mentions a short PR interval and short QT interval. Could you take a look at it and let me know what I should do next?
Based on the ECG findings of a short PR interval and short QT interval, it may indicate a potential heart condition. It is important to further evaluate this with additional tests and examinations. In the meantime, to help manage the symptoms of left arm pain and chest pain, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. However, it is crucial to follow up with a cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate management.
