I'm experiencing this strange chest pain or maybe a strain when I turn my neck or just walk around. I'm not really sure if it's something to do with nerves or maybe just gas. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm sitting here with a blood pressure of around 130100. Should I go for a walk, or is it better if I just rest for now since it might go up when I'm active? I'm not sure what's the best thing to do in this situation.
It is generally safe to go for a walk with a blood pressure of 130100. Physical activity can actually help lower blood pressure. However, it is important to start with a gentle walk and monitor how you feel. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, stop and rest. If you are on medication for high blood pressure, make sure to take it as prescribed

I'm really worried about my health lately. I've been dealing with diabetes and high blood pressure for a year now. Last October, I went through some tests like an echo, and everything seemed normal except for some grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. The TMT was negative, and my ECG looked okay. But I'm still having chest pain and pain in my left hand every week, and my heart sometimes races to 150160 bpm, with blood pressure at 180110. I even feel like passing out once a month. I've got pain in my chest, left hand, and jaw too. The doctor said last year that it wasn't a cardiac issue, but I can't shake off these symptoms. Without my blood pressure meds, my blood pressure spikes to 170110 and my heartbeat to 130. I'm currently on metoprolol, talmisartan, and vildapride. Its been seven months since those tests; should I go for another echo or TMT? Ive attached my last years reports and recent ECG too. What do you think?
Based on your history and symptoms, it would be advisable to undergo a repeat echocardiogram and stress test (TMT) to assess your heart function and rule out any cardiac issues. Considering your persistent symptoms and the changes in your blood pressure and heart rate, it is crucial to ensure that your current medications are effectively controlling your conditions. In addition to your current medications (metoprolol 50mg twice a day, telmisartan 40mg twice a day, and vildagliptin-metformin 50500mg twice a day), your healthcare provider may need to adjust the dosages or consider adding other medications to better manage your blood pressure and heart rate. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, including a repeat echocardiogram and stress test, to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and to optimize your treatment plan. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential in managing your diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac symptoms.

I'm 19 and I've been feeling my heart skip a beat for a few seconds, along with a feeling of heaviness in my chest. My ECG and sinus rhythm came back normal, but I can't help but worry if this is something to be concerned about, especially since I have anxiety issues. What do you think?
These symptoms can be related to your anxiety issues. However, if you are experiencing skipped heartbeats and chest heaviness, it is important to rule out any underlying cardiac issues. Since your ECG and sinus rhythm are normal, you may benefit from medications like Propranolol (Inderal) to help with the physical symptoms of anxiety. The usual dosage for Propranolol is 20-40mg taken orally 2-3 times a day. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and seeking therapy for your anxiety may also be beneficial.
