I'm experiencing shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my chest, and I've also noticed some pain in my calf muscles when I climb stairs. My heart starts beating really fast too. I've already had an echo stress test and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. What could be causing these symptoms? I'm really confused about what's going on.

I'm concerned about my blood pressure spiking in the evenings. It goes up to 16090, but stays under 12580 throughout the day until around 5pm. I'm 36, weigh 78kgs, and my height is 5 feet 4.5 inches. Is there something specific causing this? Any advice on what I should do?

To help manage your blood pressure spikes in the evening, you can consider taking a medication like Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg daily in the evening. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress can also be beneficial in controlling your blood pressure. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I have a VSD in my heart around 25.6 cm with a left-to-right shunt. I'm 36 years old and don't have any major symptoms, but sometimes when something stressful happens or I'm speaking in a gathering, I feel my heart rate increases. Could this be due to nervousness or because of the VSD? I can still run and play, and my height is 5'10 with a weight of 67 kg. Do I need surgery, or can I continue living like this without any issues?

NO NEED OF SX IS NO SYMPTOMS.
