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.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent ECG results. It mentioned something like 800 sinus rhythm, and I'm not really sure what that means. Also, my blood pressure showed up as 13084. Is this considered normal?
800 sinus rhythm means that the heart is beating at a normal rate and rhythm, typically between 60-100 beats per minute. A heart rate of 800 would be abnormally high and would be a cause for concern. As for the ECG being normal, without seeing the actual ECG tracing, I cannot provide a definitive answer. However, sinus rhythm is considered normal on an ECG. Regarding your blood pressure of 13084, this is considered prehypertension. If you have no other medical conditions and are not experiencing any symptoms, it may not require immediate treatment. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management. If you are experiencing any symptoms or have concerns about your ECG or blood pressure, it is best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about some ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing. After a rod hit me in the chest back in November 2015, I had a brief issue with my breathing, which seemed to get better. But then, by February 2016, I started having severe chest pain. I got checked at CMH Narayana Hrudayalaya to see if it was related to my heart, but everything came out fine. This pain keeps coming back, and it's like a muscle pull behind my rib cage. Could this be a problem with my heart or even my lungs?
