I'm a bit concerned because my systolic blood pressure has been hovering around 130, but I've noticed that my diastolic is consistently above 90 or even 95. I'm really worried about why my diastolic BP is always on the higher side. Could you tell me what kind of tests or investigations might be needed for this?

I recently had a TMT test and got a negative result, but a couple of PVCs showed up during the test. Should I be worried about this? Is there any treatment or something I should consider?
Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). Occasional PVCs are typically harmless, especially if you have no underlying heart disease. However, if you are experiencing frequent PVCs or have a history of heart disease, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation. In terms of treatment, if PVCs are causing symptoms or are frequent, your doctor may prescribe antiarrhythmic medications such as **Metoprolol** at a specific dosage to help reduce the occurrence of PVCs and manage any associated symptoms. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, managing stress, and getting regular exercise may also help in managing PVCs. Remember, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan based on your individual health needs.

I've been having a breathing problem that started with feeling like I had a missed heartbeat. Now, every 15 to 20 minutes, I get this short spell where I have trouble breathing, like something is blocking my airway, just for a couple of seconds. I went to the doctor about six months ago, and they said it was nothing to worry about, but it's still happening. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
