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 really worried about my blood pressure. It's always around 15090. My dad has had hypertension from a young age too. I don't smoke or anything, so I'm kinda surprised it's this high. Could this be genetic, or is there something else I'm missing? Should I be doing something different to bring it down?
Based on your blood pressure readings and family history of hypertension, it is important to monitor and manage your blood pressure to reduce the risk of complications. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables, and stress management techniques. In addition, you may benefit from medication to help lower your blood pressure. A common medication for hypertension is Losartan, starting at a dose of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I've been feeling really off lately. Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe properly, and I start sweating. I checked my blood pressure and pulse, and they seem normalBP was 12070, and pulse rate was 73. But for the past few nights especially, my heart feels like it's racing. I go to the gym regularly, I don't smoke, but my job at an MNC is pretty stressful. Could stress be causing this, or should I be worried about something else?
