I'm really concerned about some pain I've been experiencing. It started about four months ago with chest pain and pain in my left arm. I went to a doctor who said it might be gastric issues, but I was worried so I saw a cardiologist. They did a chest X-ray, a TMT, and an echo 2D, and everything came back negative. My relative, who's a doctor, suggested it might be muscle pain or cervical spondylosis, but I still have this persistent pain in my left arm along with a burning sensation. I've read about anxiety causing these kinds of symptoms, but the pain is also in my neck, jaw, left arm, shoulder, and chest. I'm really hoping for some clarification on what might be going on. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do next?

I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 9354 is considered low? I've been feeling some weakness and dizziness at times, and I'm not sure if it's related. How would one diagnose low blood pressure?

I'm really worried about my mom. Her blood pressure has been consistently over 14090 for the past year. She's actually quite healthy otherwise, and makes sure to walk for at least 30 minutes every morning. She's even cut back on her sodium intake. Do you think she still needs to start taking medication to help control her blood pressure?

Given that your mother's blood pressure has been consistently above 14090 mmHg for a year, it is important to manage it to reduce the risk of complications such as heart disease or stroke. While lifestyle changes like reducing sodium intake and regular exercise are excellent steps, they might not be sufficient on their own. It would be best for her to consult with her healthcare provider to determine if she needs medication to help control her blood pressure.
