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 recently got my ECG done just as a routine check-up, and it came back with a note saying 'suspect anteroseptal myocardial infarction.' What exactly does this mean, and should I be worried about it?
suspect anteroseptal myocardial infarction on your ECG means there may be a heart attack in the front part of the heart. You may need to take medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily, Clopidogrel 75mg once daily, and Atorvastatin 40mg once daily to prevent further complications. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management."

Here's what I'm currently doing: I take Eltroxin 75 mg on an empty stomach, Vertiford 8 mg and Nexito 20 mg after breakfast, and then after dinner, I have Dilzem 90 SR, Dicorate 250 mg (12 tablet), and Rosufit CV 10.
