I'm experiencing some chest pain on the left side whenever I take a deep breath. The pain also seems to radiate to my back. I'm having trouble sleeping because of the discomfort in both my chest and back. I'm really concerned about what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this and what steps I should take?

View allI'm a bit worried about my blood pressure being 14090. Is that considered high? I've just turned 30, weigh 72 kg, and Im already taking rozavel 10 for dyslipidemia. Should I get on some medication for this, or could lifestyle changes do the trick? I do exercise daily for 20 minutes and eat less outside food and salt. What do you think?
take 3 readings after food for 3 days if it is still persisitant consult your doctor

I'm wondering if it's normal to have tachycardia because both my ECG and echo tests came back normal, but I still experience it. My heart feels like it's beating really loudly, and when I check my pulse with an oximeter, it can shoot up to around 120, then it settles back to normal after a while. It's pretty scary when my heart rate spikes like that. Are there any more tests I should consider to figure out what's going on?
Tachycardia, or a fast heart rate, can be concerning even if your ECG and echo are normal. Since you are experiencing symptoms such as a loud heartbeat and fluctuations in your pulse rate, it is important to further investigate the underlying cause. To address your tachycardia and associated symptoms, you may consider undergoing additional tests such as a Holter monitor to continuously record your heart's activity over 24-48 hours, a stress test to evaluate your heart's function during physical activity, and blood tests to check for any underlying medical conditions. In the meantime, to help manage your tachycardia symptoms, you can consider taking medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce the sensation of palpitations. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because my HSCRP levels are high, and I'm taking vaso. What kind of risks should I be aware of, and who should I talk to about this?
High levels of hs-CRP (C-reactive protein) indicate inflammation in the body, which can be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Vaso refers to vasculitis, which is inflammation of the blood vessels. It is important to manage these conditions to reduce the risk of complications. You should consult with a Rheumatologist for the vasculitis and a Cardiologist for the high hs-CRP levels. The Rheumatologist may prescribe medications such as Prednisone for vasculitis, while the Cardiologist may recommend medications like Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol and reduce inflammation in the blood vessels.
