I'm really worried about some symptoms I've been experiencing. Whenever I get tired, I start having short breaths and feel this chest pain. I can walk for a bit if I go slowly, but after a few minutes, I start running out of breath and the chest pain comes back. Does this sound like something serious? What should I do about it?

View allI'm feeling really worried because my blood pressure is extremely high and it's just not coming down to normal levels. I've been taking cardace 5mg, but it doesn't seem to be working. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something else to manage my blood pressure?
u can shift on tab telmisartan H40mg+12.5 mg once daily with the repaet check of the BP after 1 week and also to maintain BP charting daily and to review after 7 days with the BP Charting in the opd.

I'm really concerned about this pain I'm experiencing. It's not just in my chest but also in my back near the shoulder blade, and it's accompanied by headaches and some numbness in my left hand. I've also been feeling short of breath. I had an ECG done, and it came back normal. What could be going on here? Should I be worried or looking into something else?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. All of my tests, like ECG, echo, TMT, and chest X-ray, came back normal except for high LDL cholesterol. So the doctor put me on Rosuvas, which I've been taking. But now, after a month of feeling okay, the chest pain and tightness are creeping back. I remember the doctor saying to take BP meds if this happened, but I'm not sure which one to pick. My weight is around 110 kg, and my blood pressure was 14090 last month, but I can't check it now because of the lockdown. Should I stick with the Metoprolol I got last year, or should I go out and get Amlopidine? Which one would be better in this situation?
"Based on your symptoms of chest pain and tightness, and your history of high LDL cholesterol, it is important to manage your blood pressure effectively. Considering your weight and previous blood pressure reading of 14090, you can take amlodipine to help lower your blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that can help relax the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. Since you already have metoprolol with you, you can also consider taking it as it is a beta-blocker that can help lower blood pressure and reduce chest pain. The usual dosage of metoprolol for high blood pressure is 25-100mg once or twice daily. However, please note that metoprolol may not be as effective in controlling chest pain compared to amlodipine. If you choose to take metoprolol, start with a lower dose and monitor your blood pressure closely. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical advice promptly. Additionally, try to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially during this time when access to healthcare may be limited due to the lockdown."
