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 allIve done all the heart tests like ECG and echocardiogram stress test, and everythings come back normal. But I still feel really anxious and notice my heart beating really fast. Should I be worried about this? Is there a chance it could be a sign of a heart attack or something serious?
It's good to hear that your heart tests have come back normal. Your symptoms of feeling anxious and experiencing a fast heart rate could be related to anxiety. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking propranolol (Inderal) 10mg to 20mg as needed to help with the fast heart rate and anxiety. However, if you continue to have concerns or if your symptoms worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried after my mom's health check-up today. Her blood pressure was really hightwice it was 18090 and the third time was 17090. We're going to get the full health report by Wednesday, but I'm anxious. Do you think she might need to start taking medicine right away?
The symptoms you're experiencing, such as lightheadedness, spinning sensation, and vomiting, could be related to various factors. Considering your recent changes in diet and daily workouts, here are a few potential causes: *Potential Causes* 1. *Low Blood Sugar*: With your new diet, you might be experiencing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), leading to lightheadedness and dizziness. 2. *Dehydration*: Insufficient fluid intake, especially during workouts, can cause dehydration, resulting in dizziness and lightheadedness. 3. *Electrolyte Imbalance*: Your new diet might be lacking essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, or magnesium, which can disrupt your body's balance and cause dizziness. 4. *Inner Ear Issues*: The spinning sensation could be related to inner ear problems, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a Doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to rule out any underlying medical conditions. 2. *Monitor Blood Sugar*: If you're experiencing low blood sugar, consider monitoring your blood sugar levels and adjusting your diet accordingly. 3. *Stay Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially during and after workouts. 4. *Balance Your Diet*: Ensure you're getting essential electrolytes and nutrients through your diet or consider supplements after consulting your doctor. 5. *Rest and Recovery*: Allow your body time to recover between workouts, and prioritize getting enough sleep.

I'm feeling this weird sinking sensation in my chest every now and then, especially when I'm super stressed out. It's kind of freaking me out, even though I've had an ECG and checked my blood pressure, and both are normal. What could this possibly mean?
