I'm experiencing this weird vibration-like sensation in the upper left side of my chest that's been going on for a couple of days. Initially, I thought it was just acidity, but its been almost 45 days now. Any idea whats causing this and how I can fix it quickly?

I'm a bit confused about my ECG report. It mentions something called sinus arrhythmiashould I be worried about that? It also says the ECG is normal. Should I consider getting an echocardiogram?

So I had my Echo test this afternoon, and it says my pulmonary arteries look normal but mentions I have mild PHT. Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be concerned?

Mild pulmonary hypertension (PHT) means that there is increased blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. To manage mild PHT, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) at a dose of 20 mg three times a day. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your condition.

I'm really concerned because my last BP reading was 160100, and I can't seem to book a doctor's appointment soon. Can anyone suggest what I should do next or if there's any medication I could consider in the meantime? Any advice would be really appreciated.

you can start taking Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, you can also consider adding Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name: Microzide) 12.5mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.
