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 allWhich blood pressure medication is best for my high BP and angina pain? I'm kind of stuck because one doctor recommended Metoprolol and another suggested Amlodipine. I really want something that works well but doesn't have a lot of side effects. Can you help me figure out which one might be better?
For high blood pressure and angina pain, it is important to follow the advice of your healthcare providers. Both Metoprolol and Amlodipine are commonly used medications for these conditions. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart, while Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels. For proper relief and minimal side effects, a combination of both medications may be beneficial. You can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) along with Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc). The typical dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100 mg once or twice daily, and for Amlodipine, it is 5-10 mg once daily. Please consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment plan for your specific condition.

Is there a way to manage mild TR or keep it stable over my lifetime? I'm 30 now and I'm really wondering how I can handle this situation.
For mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the focus is usually on managing any underlying conditions that may be causing the TR. In most cases, mild TR does not require specific treatment and can be managed by addressing the underlying cause. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. In some cases, medications such as diuretics or ACE inhibitors may be prescribed to help manage symptoms or prevent the condition from worsening. However, the specific treatment plan will depend on the underlying cause of the TR and should be determined by a healthcare professional. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is important to monitor the condition and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. If you have any concerns or notice any changes in your symptoms, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit confused about my liver function test results. My total cholesterol is at 230, and I've gotten different opinions from doctors. Some suggest medication, while others say it's nothing to worry about. Should I be concerned about this level? When exactly should I start taking action or medication?
A total cholesterol level of 230 is considered borderline high, which means you're at risk of developing heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends aiming for a total cholesterol level below 200 milligrams per deciliter (mgdL). Here are some conditions where you should take care: Liver-Related Conditions - Fatty Liver Disease: Excess fat accumulation in liver cells can disrupt liver function and increase cholesterol levels. - Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH): A more severe form of fatty liver disease characterized by inflammation and scarring. - Cirrhosis: Late-stage liver disease where liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, affecting cholesterol metabolism [1). Lifestyle Changes To manage your cholesterol levels: - Exercise Regularly: Aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly. - Follow a Healthy Diet: Focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources. - Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol [1).
