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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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 having this pinching pain in the middle of my chest, a bit towards the left, for about a year now. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it's noticeable, especially if I stretch my chest or if I'm pressing something between my hands that puts pressure on my chest. I've had a bunch of ECGs done, but no other heart tests, and I've seen 23 doctors already. None of them think it's heart-related or gave me any meds. What should I do next? Who should I go to for help in Pune?
take pantocid dsr before breakfasrt for 15 days

I'm really curious and a bit concerned about something. Can taking the beta blocker metoprolol, especially the Met XL version, lead to higher blood triglyceride levels? If that's the case, is there another beta blocker that might be a better option?
Yes, metoprolol XL can potentially cause an increase in blood triglyceride levels as a side effect. Another beta blocker that may be a better option to consider is Nebivolol (brand name Bystolic) which is less likely to affect lipid levels compared to metoprolol XL. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment option for you.

I'm really feeling anxious about my ECG results that came in today. It's showing a low PR interval of 119ms, and I'm not sure if that's something to worry about. The report mentioned Sinus Rhythm and short PR interval. My heart rate is at 90 bpm, P duration 88ms, QRS duration 114ms, QTQTc interval 320393ms. Should I be concerned and start taking medications, or is this in the normal range? Could you explain what these numbers mean? I've attached the ECG photos too.
short PR interval is abnormal.The causes include wolf parkinson white syndrome, acute stress,junctional rhythm,anchanced AV node conduction etc,Patient need not worry , no treatment is required,, It is common in pregnancy and children.
