I'm experiencing some chest heaviness and a bit of pain, and it's making it harder to catch my breath at times. I've been smoking about 10 to 12 cigarettes a day. Should I be concerned about this, and what could be causing these symptoms?

What is a good blood pressure by age?

In earlier times, Blood pressure was defined according to age. With all the new research data, Hypertension is defined only by increase in numbers in blood pressure which applies similarly for all adults above 18 years of age. Normal blood pressure is a reading less than 120/80 mm Hg. Any reading above 120/80 mm Hg checked consequently for three days needs a doctor's opinion.

I'm trying to understand more about my recent test results. It mentioned something like mild mitral stenosis with trivial regurgitation and that my left atrium is dilated. Plus, there's something about the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve being mildly thickened, and the mitral orifice measuring 2.22 square centimeters. They also noted trivial mitral regurgitation with Doppler. What does all this mean for my heart health? Should I be worried? Any advice on what steps I should take next would be really helpful.

I'm concerned about my husband's medication for high blood pressure. He's taking Minipress XL and Eslo At, but I'm confused about whether these should be taken before or after meals. His blood pressure is usually around 160110, but after taking the meds, it drops to 12585, and then he feels weak. Is that a normal reaction?
