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 allIs my EKG normal? Can you manually check the QTc levels because last time the machine got it wrong? Also, I'm confused about what non-specific ST depression means. From what I understand, ST depression is linked to a heart attack or ischemia. I've had ECGs before, but this is the first time I've seen this in the report. Could you help explain this?
Regarding the EKG, I cannot check the QTc levels manually through this platform. Non-specific ST depression on an EKG means that there are changes in the ST segment of the EKG that are not specifically indicative of a heart attack or ischemia. It can be caused by various factors such as electrolyte imbalances, medications, or even normal variation. If you have concerns about the findings on your EKG, it would be best to discuss them with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and interpretation.

What causes hypertension headaches?
High blood pressure can cause you to have a headache, and this kind of headache signals an emergency. This occurs when your blood pressure becomes dangerously high. A hypertension headache will usually occur on both sides of your head and is typically worse with any activity.

I've had a normal ECG and ECCO test, and even the treadmill stress test was normal. My blood sugar level and lipid profile are fine, but my cholesterol's high. I'm still having pain in my lower chest and a bit in my left hand. I'm really concerned. What's going on with me?
The pain in your lower chest and left hand could be due to musculoskeletal issues or possibly related to acid reflux. To alleviate the pain in your lower chest, you can take over-the-counter medications like Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. For the pain in your left hand, you can try applying a topical pain relief gel like Volini gel and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it's advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
