I'm dealing with depression and recently had some heart tests done - my TMT came back negative, and both my ECG and echo were normal. However, my doctor prescribed me macsart 40 for blood pressure. I'm confused and a bit worried. Why would they prescribe BP medicine if my tests are normal? Any advice would be appreciated.

View allI've been feeling really off for the past 10 days. I get this suffocating sensation that eases up only after taking a few deep breaths, but it comes back when I lay down to sleep. It's like a mild pain on my left chest that feels kind of muscular, and it also affects the left side of my neck and shoulder. My schedule's a mess 'cause I work in ITI'm up till like 3 AM and sleep around 1 PM. I haven't had any severe pain, but I do get this sudden feeling where its like Im not getting enough oxygen. There's no history of heart or pulmonary issues in my family. Should I be worried about this?
It sounds like you're experiencing occasional breathlessness, which may be related to muscle strain or poor posture, especially with your irregular sleep schedule. It's important to monitor these symptoms, but considering the absence of severe pain or a family history of heartlung issues, it might also be linked to stress or sleep disruption. However, I recommend consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions.

My heart sometimes beats really fast, like between 80 and 95 beats per minute. Does that sound normal? I'm feeling kind of scared about it, so can you help me understand what's going on?
A heart rate of 80 to 95 beats per minute can be considered normal for many individuals, especially during periods of physical activity or stress. However, if you are experiencing a consistently elevated heart rate at rest and are feeling anxious about it, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a dosage of 25mg to help lower your heart rate and reduce anxiety.

I'm a bit worried because about a month ago I started having constant chest pain and it spread to my left shoulder and hand. I got a general checkup and found out my blood pressure was 160100, but my ECG and 2D echo and sugar levels were normal. They did say my triglycerides and uric acid were high, and I have a fatty liver, so I've been on a strict diet for three months, cutting out salt and doing regular walks. After 10 days, my blood pressure dropped to 12080, which I guess is good! My dad and grandpa had heart issues, so I'm a bit concerned if it's hereditary. Right now, Im on Telma 40 and Concor 5mg but since my blood pressure is normal, Im not sure if I should continue with these meds. Also, my left shoulder and chest still hurt. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm really confused right now.
as you have family history you are at risk sooo do not stop them,its because of those medicines your BP is normal,follow healthy lifestyle and do follow your doctors advice
