I'm a bit confused because I recently got a stress test done, and the results said it's negative for inducible ischemia during the TMT test. What does this really mean? Should I be worried or is this a good sign?

I'm experiencing heart palpitations and my heart beats faster sometimes along with chest discomfort, all this in the past six months or so. I've had an ECG, echo, and TMT and they all came back normal. My blood pressure at home is usually below 12085, but when I go to the doctor's office, it shoots up to 13090 and sometimes even 150100. Should I be worried about this difference in blood pressure readings, and could it be linked to the palpitations I'm feeling?

Since six months some time feel heart palpitation and beat faster and chest discomfort. I have done ecg echo tmt everything normal. Bp also below 12085 at home But doctor clinic always 13090 some time 150100. It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations and chest discomfort despite normal results on your ECG, echo, and TMT tests. Your blood pressure readings are also slightly elevated at the doctor's clinic. In such cases, your symptoms may be related to anxiety or stress. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (dosage: 25-50mg once daily) to help with the palpitations and chest discomfort. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may also be beneficial.

I'm 28 and I've noticed my blood pressure is around 160100 lately. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and how I can bring it down naturally?

High blood pressure can be caused by various factors such as stress, unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and genetics. To reduce high blood pressure naturally, you can try the following. Maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit your salt intake. Engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking, jogging, or swimming. Manage stress through techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. Limit alcohol consumption and quit smoking. Ensure an adequate amount of quality sleep. Consider incorporating foods rich in potassium, magnesium, and calcium into your diet. If these lifestyle changes do not effectively lower your blood pressure, you may need medication.
