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'm experiencing some sudden pain on the left side of my chest and leg, specifically around the knee, and I'm not sure what's going on. The pain tends to come and go, and it's been like this since yesterday. There's no pain in my hand, just the leg and chest. Do you have any advice or know of any tablets I could take to help with this?
"Based on your symptoms of sudden chest pain and left leg pain, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack or blood clot. However, if the pain is intermittent and not severe, it could be musculoskeletal in nature. I recommend taking Tablet Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief. You can take 1 tablet every 6 hours as needed for chest and leg pain. Make sure to rest and avoid any strenuous activities until the pain subsides."

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I've noticed something odd with my heart rate. Even though I don't have any family history of heart disease and I'm generally healthy, my heart suddenly races from normal up to 127 to 170 bpm. This happens when I'm just resting or even asleep and can last for 5 to 15 minutes each time. It occurs about 2 to 5 times a day and I've been experiencing this since I was 7 years old. I'm starting to get a bit worried about it. What could be causing this?
u require echo test and a cardiologist opinion
