I'm a bit worried because I've been checking my blood pressure at home for the last couple of days, and its been around 13585. Its usually about 12075 with the Telma 40 I'm taking, which I started after having COVID. I also had my wisdom tooth taken out a couple of days ago. Is this spike in my blood pressure something I should be concerned about?

It is normal for blood pressure to fluctuate, especially after a dental procedure like wisdom tooth extraction. However, since your blood pressure readings have been consistently higher for the past two days, it is important to monitor it closely. In this situation, it would be advisable to consult your doctor to discuss the possibility of adjusting your medication dosage or considering additional treatment options. In the meantime, you can also try to reduce stress, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

View allI'm a bit worried about my ECG results that I attached. Is there anything serious I should be concerned about? I noticed the T axis is at 1. Can you give me some advice on what this might mean?
Based on the information provided, a T axis of 1 in an ECG is within normal limits and is not typically considered a serious issue. However, it is important to consider the entire ECG report and any symptoms you may be experiencing for a comprehensive evaluation.

I'm really worried because I've been having chest pain for a few weeks now. Sometimes it spreads to my left arm and upper back, which is really scary. I've noticed that my heart's been beating really fast a couple of times this month, and when that happens, I start sweating and feel hot all over. I actually thought I might be having a heart attack. I went ahead and had an ECG done, and it says sinus tachycardia and nonspecific t abnormalities in the inferior leads. Should I be concerned about this? Also, I've taken medication for depression beforecould that be connected somehow?
sinus tachycardia in ecg , u need to take treatment for that which includes betablockers ,calcium channel blockers,cardiac opinion is advised

For the past 4 to 5 days, Ive been dealing with an unusually fast heart rate, even when Im just resting. I havent been exercising for a few months now, and I can really feel my heart pounding throughout my body. It gets worse at night and when I checked, my heart rate was 103 bpm, and sometimes its 95 bpm, but it never goes below 90, even when Im just sitting. Im staying hydrated and I dont feel anxious, but Ive started having this chest pain that feels like when someone presses on a bone. What tests should I consider doing to find out whats going on? This fast heart rate is really becoming unbearable. Any advice?
Based on your symptoms of a fast heart rate at rest, palpitations, and chest pain, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. The following tests may be recommended: 1. Electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess the electrical activity of the heart. 2. Holter monitor to continuously record your heart's activity for a period of time. 3. Echocardiogram to evaluate the structure and function of the heart. 4. Blood tests to check for any underlying conditions such as thyroid disorders or electrolyte imbalances. In the meantime, to help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily, as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Beta-blockers can help lower heart rate and reduce chest pain.
