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'm a bit concerned about the results from my recent cardiac reports. Everything came back normal except the echocardiography, which indicated a mild mitral prolapse. Should I be worried about this?

Mild mitral valve prolapse is usually not a cause for concern and often does not require treatment. It is important to follow up with your doctor for regular check-ups to monitor your heart health. If you experience symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, or shortness of breath, you should consult your doctor. No specific medication is required for mild mitral valve prolapse.

My arm and chest sometimes start to hurt at random times. Sometimes it's just my chest, sometimes just my arm, and other times both, with this throbbing sensation that can last for a couple of hours. What could be causing this? It's really worrying me.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. The pain can sometimes radiate to the arm, neck, jaw, or back. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take nitroglycerin sublingual tablets for immediate relief. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg every 5 minutes as needed, up to 3 doses. If the pain persists, seek medical attention immediately.
