I'm experiencing some pinching and squeezing chest pains, and my heart rate seems to jump between 80 and 120 with some palpitations. The pain tends to be worse in the afternoons after I eat, but it also happens in the evenings, especially when I start thinking about stuff, even small thoughts make my heart rate go up but it does slow down after I get myself to calm down. I've done multiple ECGs, TM tests, and echoes, and they've all been normal so far. There is sinus tachycardia, though. I don't smoke or drink, but I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety and worry. My cholesterol is at 240 and my blood pressure is around 13090. My sugar levels are almost normal and I weigh 70 kgs with a 5.5 height. I follow a light veg South rice diet and don't eat meat. What's causing this chest pain and geyser-like hot sensation? It's really unsettling and causing me some social anxiety. I'm not married and I don't really have much of a social life. What should I do?

View allI'm 33 and have been dealing with high blood pressure for about a decade. I've been taking medication for it, initially just Nebicard 5 mg, but after 12 years, my doctor switched me to Covamlo. However, recently due to some family stress, my blood pressure has spiked, and my doctor prescribed me two tablets. I'm really worried about this change. Is this normal, and should I be concerned about having to take more medication?
The medication prescribed to you for high blood pressure is a combination of drugs called Covamlo. The brand name for this combination is Co-Diovan. You have been prescribed 2 tablets, so please take them as directed by your doctor. This combination medication contains Valsartan 160mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg. Taking your medication regularly and managing stress through relaxation techniques can help control your blood pressure.

I've been having this burning sensation in the upper back, right at the center, since this morning. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure if it's something serious or if I'm overthinking it. Could it be a sign of something I should be worried about, or is it just something that happens sometimes? Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.

I'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is 217, triglycerides are 163, HDL is 48, and LDL is 145. My weight is 85 kg and I'm 5'10". Do you think I should start medication for cholesterol, or would simply making some lifestyle changes be enough?
Based on your cholesterol levels, medication may be required in addition to lifestyle changes. To lower your LDL cholesterol level of 145, you can start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Along with this, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engaging in regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels is also recommended.
