I'm experiencing some pain in the area inside my ribs on both sides, especially under my left breast and there's some noticeable swelling too. It's been going on for a few days now. My breathing is generally normal, but sometimes it feels like I have to make an effort to take deeper breaths. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could you provide some advice on what might be happening?

View allI've been dealing with high blood pressure for the last month, consistently around 170110, even after taking my medication. I'm really concerned about why it's not coming down and what I should do next. Could there be something else going on that I need to check?
It seems like your current medication may not be effectively controlling your blood pressure. I recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your medication. In addition to your current treatment, adding a medication like Amlodipine (5mg) or Lisinopril (10mg) can help lower your blood pressure. Remember to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your blood pressure levels.

I've been having this burning sensation on the left side of my chest, and today I noticed there's some swelling under my ribs. It's really worrying me since I remember 2 years ago, I went through a bunch of heart checkups, and everything was fine. The doctor back then said it was because of my poor lifestyle. But now, I'm not sure what's causing this pain again. Could you suggest what might be going on and which specialist I should see?

I've been getting chest pain and started to feel it in the center below my chest, like where the stomach is, even though I've done ECG more than 20 times and everything seemed normal. I just had a TMT on May 31st, 2022, and I'm wondering how long the reports from that are actually valid. My LDL and HDL levels are normal, but my triglycerides are quite higharound 400. Could this high level of triglycerides be causing a blockage? Is this something heart-related that I should be worried about?
Chest pain can have various causes, including heart-related issues. Since your TMT ECG and other tests have shown normal results, it is less likely to be related to your heart. However, it is essential to consider other factors such as gastrointestinal issues or musculoskeletal pain. It would be best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. TMT ECG reports are typically valid for a few months, but it is recommended to consult your healthcare provider for specific guidance. High triglyceride levels, especially above 400, can increase the risk of developing blockages in the arteries over time. It is crucial to manage your triglyceride levels through lifestyle changes and, if necessary, medications prescribed by a healthcare professional.
