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 recently had my cholesterol tested, and it turns out my HDL cholesterol level is 32. I'm a bit worried and wondering if I should go for any additional tests? Does this low HDL indicate any risk of heart disease?
A low HDL cholesterol level of 32 may increase your risk for heart disease. To further evaluate your heart health, you may consider getting a lipid profile test done. This test will provide more detailed information about your cholesterol levels, including LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. Based on the results of the lipid profile, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and medication if necessary.
