I'm curious about why my blood pressure spikes to 180100 during times of aggression, while it's usually around 11080 or 12080 when I'm calm. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, and my echo, ECG, and TMT results are normal. My lipid profile shows LDL at 60, HDL at 37, and total cholesterol at 110. Is there any underlying pathological condition that could be causing these blood pressure fluctuations?

Aggression or stress can indeed cause a temporary spike in blood pressure. Since your heart tests and lipid profile are normal, the elevated blood pressure may be due to situational factors. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consider lifestyle modifications. In case of persistent high blood pressure, your doctor may prescribe medications like Amlodipine 5mg or Losartan 50mg to help keep it under control.

Ive been having trouble with my breathing, and my pulse rate is pretty high. My doctor mentioned something about sinus tachycardia and gave me propranolol to take. After using it for a couple of days, I've started to notice swelling in my fingers. What kind of tests or investigations do you think I should consider? And should I be worried about this swelling? Any advice would be really helpful.
Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats faster than normal. Since you are experiencing swelling on your fingers after taking propranolol, it is important to consult your doctor for a possible alternative medication. In terms of investigations, you may consider getting an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to monitor your heart's electrical activity and rule out any other underlying heart conditions. Additionally, a blood test to check electrolyte levels and thyroid function may be recommended. It is important to discuss these options with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
