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.

I've been having these mild chest pains on my left side, and it's been going on for a while now. I've seen doctors a couple of times and even did an ECG, but everything came back normal. The pain isn't super intense or frequent, but it pops up every couple of days, and its got me a bit worried. Could this be related to my heart, or could there be something else behind it? What kind of tests should I ask for to figure out whats causing it?
