Question 1

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?

Question 2

I'm 16 and recently had an electrocardiograph that showed I have incomplete RBBB. The doctors mentioned it might be related to my tonsils because they get inflamed a few times a year, and they're suggesting I get them removed. I tried finding more info about this link between tonsils and RBBB but didn't come across anything helpful. Could you explain how they're connected or if you've seen anything like this before?

Question 3

I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 14090 is considered normal? Also, there's been this regular body pain happening. What kind of checkups would you recommend for that?

Accepted Answer

Blood Pressure (BP) Value: 14090*

This BP value is considered elevated, but not severely high. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), a normal BP value is:

- Systolic (top number): Less than 120 mmHg
- Diastolic (bottom number): Less than 80 mmHg

A BP value of 14090 falls into the category of "elevated blood pressure," which means your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes and monitoring to prevent further increases.

*Regular Body Pain*

To address regular body pain, your doctor may recommend the following checkups:

1. *Complete Blood Count (CBC)*: To rule out underlying infections or inflammatory conditions.
2. *Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)*: To measure inflammation in the body.
3. *C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test*: To assess inflammation and potential underlying conditions.
4. *Thyroid Function Tests (TFTs)*: To rule out hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which can cause body pain.
5. *Vitamin D levels*: To check for deficiencies, which can contribute to body pain.
6. *Imaging tests (e.g., X-rays, ultrasound)*: To rule out underlying musculoskeletal conditions.

I'm experiencing this strange sensation in my chest, but it's not really painful. It's more like an odd feeling when I breathe, right below my throat and just above the breasts. Any idea what this could be?

The unusual sensation in your chest, described as a weird feeling when breathing, just below the throat and above the breasts, could be related to anxiety, acid reflux, or respiratory issues like asthma or bronchitis
