I'm experiencing all the symptoms that feel like angina. I've had chest pain, shortness of breath when walking, pain in my left arm, and jaw pain. I already did an ECG and an echocardiogram, and they came back normal. Should I have more tests done?

View allHey, I'm currently taking Tazloc 40mg because my blood pressure is around 100152. I'm 38 years old, weigh 100 kg, and I'm 5'10". I'm wondering if I'll need to stay on this medication for the rest of my life. Could you give me some advice?
It is important to continue taking it as prescribed by your doctor to effectively manage your blood pressure. Lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a balanced diet can also help in managing high blood pressure. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are essential to determine the long-term need for medication.

I'm a bit worried about my health as I recently got some test results back. My lipoprotein ALPA level is 39.1, and my hemoglobin count is 17.7. I've already done an ECG and a 2D echo, and those reports came back fine. Should I be concerned about these numbers indicating any heart disease, even though the other tests were okay?
Your lipoprotein (A) value of 39.1 is within normal range, which is a good sign. A high level of LP(a) is considered a risk factor for heart disease, but your value is not concerning. Your hemoglobin (HB) level of 17.7 is also within normal range. Since your ECG and 2D echo reports are fine, it is unlikely that you have any significant heart disease based on the information provided. It's important to continue monitoring your lipid levels and overall heart health regularly. No specific medication is needed at this point.
