I'm noticing that my blood pressure readings are different in each arm. The left side shows 90160, while the right is 80125. Could you tell me which one is correct? Also, my lipid and sugar levels are normal, and I feel okay when I walk around, but I still feel anxious. What should I do?

It is recommended to consider the blood pressure reading from the right hand (80125) as it is lower and more accurate. To manage anxiety, you can take a medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 0.5mg as needed. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been noticing that every time I check my pulse rate, it's always above 100, sometimes even hitting 95 to 105. I'm worried about what could be causing this consistently high pulse rate. Can you help me understand the possible reasons behind it?
High pulse rate, also known as tachycardia, can be caused by various factors. Some common reasons for a high pulse rate in the range of 95-105 beats per minute include physical activity, stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, dehydration, fever, anemia, thyroid disorders, and certain medications. It is important to monitor your pulse rate at different times of the day and in different situations to see if there are any patterns or triggers. If your pulse rate consistently remains above 100 beats per minute, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try relaxation techniques, staying hydrated, and avoiding stimulants to see if there is any improvement in your pulse rate.

I've been smoking for the last 5 years, and lately, Im noticing this weird pain in the center of my chest. It doesn't bother me when I'm just sitting or standing still, but if I stretch my arms or put any pressure on my chest, I get this sharp pinching feeling inside. Even just warming up before a workout or sleeping in one position can trigger it. There's no fatigue, coughing up blood, or anxiety. Do you think it's something serious, or should I just not worry about it too much?
Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.
