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 having motion problems for about 4 years now, and it's really tiring me out. Sometimes my heart starts beating really fast, and I get a fever a few times a week. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
These can be symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, and intermittent fever. To address your motion problem and fast heart rate, you can try using propranolol. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

My mom, who's 50, has been taking Thyronorm 50 for her thyroid. Her doctor mentioned noticing some changes in her ECG twice during her follow-ups and suggested she should get a TMT and an Echo done. Her 2D Echo looks normal with an LVEF of 65%, but her TMT came back positive for inducible ischemia at a moderate workload level. She's mentioned having shortness of breath sometimes when she's climbing stairs, but other than that, she's fine and doesn't have any chest pain or a history of high blood pressure or diabetes. What would you suggest as the next steps for her?
A 2D Echo is advised as a diagnostic procedure for heart blocks and other pathology..

I've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side, right above my heart. It happened for a few minutes, but then it went back to normal. The same thing occurred about six months ago. I'm a bit concerned and would love to get your suggestions on what might be going on and how I can deal with this issue.
Based on your description of chest pain above the heart that comes and goes, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, considering the pain is brief and has occurred before, it could be due to muscle strain or inflammation in the chest wall. I recommend taking a pain reliever such as Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may help relax the muscles. If the pain persists or worsens, further evaluation by a healthcare professional is advised.
