I'm really worried about my brother. He's been having some chest discomfort and mild pain that sometimes happens on the left side and other times in the center. He gets really nervous, and his heart rate spikes to around 90-98 bpm when this happens, but when he's more relaxed, it goes back down to about 68-72 bpm. He runs on the treadmill for 20 to 30 minutes at least five days a week and doesn't feel any discomfort during that time. Although he has an acidity and GERD problem, he's finished his course of medication and isn't taking any other tablets. His sugar and blood pressure are normal, and chest X-rays came back fine, with an orthopaedic saying it's nothing serious and just suggesting vitamins. He also feels pain at certain points when the chest is pressed. With all these symptoms, I'm wondering if it could be his heart, acidity, muscular, or maybe even a nerve issue. Do you think an angiography would be necessary given his normal reports so far?

View allI've been having a headache on the right side of the back of my head lately and when I checked my blood pressure it was between 140-160 for systolic and 90-110 for diastolic over the past week. My pulse is around 80-85 and oxygen is at 99. I dont have any other medical issues but I recently moved to a new country and this started after I got here. Could this change in food and location be affecting my blood pressure? Before moving, I was drinking and eating out about three times a week for a couple of months. Could that have caused my blood pressure to spike? Im planning on seeing a cardiologist next week but would appreciate any advice you might have.
Based on the information provided, the spike in your blood pressure could be related to various factors such as stress, dietary changes, and lifestyle habits. It is possible that the change in food and location, as well as the previous indulgence in drinking and dining out frequently, may have contributed to the increase in your blood pressure. To help manage your blood pressure, it is important to make some lifestyle modifications. You can start by reducing your salt intake, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress through relaxation techniques. Additionally, if your cardiologist deems it necessary, they may prescribe medication to help lower your blood pressure. It's good that you have an upcoming appointment with a cardiologist, as they will be able to provide you with a more personalized treatment plan after a thorough evaluation.

I'm reaching out because I've been on medication for hypertension for a couple of years now, specifically taking Losartana 50 mg each night before I sleep. During the day, my blood pressure usually stays around 13585. I've heard from several people that apple cider vinegar might help to manage my blood pressure better and maybe even help me reduce my dependency on the medicine. I don't have a family history of hypertension, but right now, I'm at 92 kg, 5'9", and 32 years old. Do you think it would be beneficial for me to try apple cider vinegar for my situation?
Apple cider vinegar may have some benefits in helping to control blood pressure, but it is not a substitute for prescribed medication. It is always important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your treatment plan. In your case, since your blood pressure is still not within the desired range during the day, it would be best to continue taking LOSARTAN-A 50 Mg as prescribed. However, you can also incorporate apple cider vinegar into your diet in moderation for its potential health benefits. It is recommended to dilute it in water and consume it before meals.

I'm really worried about some ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing. After a rod hit me in the chest back in November 2015, I had a brief issue with my breathing, which seemed to get better. But then, by February 2016, I started having severe chest pain. I got checked at CMH Narayana Hrudayalaya to see if it was related to my heart, but everything came out fine. This pain keeps coming back, and it's like a muscle pull behind my rib cage. Could this be a problem with my heart or even my lungs?
