I'm really worried because my blood pressure is reading 140100. I know that's considered high, and I'm wondering what medicine I should be taking for it. Is this something I need to be urgently concerned about? Should I see a doctor right away?

View allI recently went for a routine check-up and my ECG showed a heart rate of 106. It was marked as an abnormal ECG. Now I'm worried about this result. Could you tell me if this is something I should be concerned about, or is it normal for my age?
A heart rate of 106 beats per minute on an ECG can be considered slightly elevated, but it may not always indicate a serious issue. It is important to consider other factors such as your age, medical history, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. In some cases, a heart rate of 106 may be within normal limits, especially during physical activity or times of stress. However, if you are concerned about your ECG results, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. They may recommend monitoring your heart rate, lifestyle modifications, or medications if necessary.

I'm dealing with a bit of high cholesterol, and my doctor recommended taking Roseday 5 mg daily. But right now, I'm in Malaysia and can't seem to find Roseday here. Do you think it's okay for me to take Crestor 5 mg instead until I can get my hands on Roseday? Would that be safe?
yes u can take crestor 5mg , both the medications composition is the same...

I've noticed this sharp pain in my chest right after I've had lunch, and it's happened a couple of times now. The pain only sticks around for about 30 seconds, but it's like someone's pinching my heart. I also realized I didn't drink any water after eating. Could this be connected to not drinking water, or is it something else I should be worried about?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of heartburn or acid reflux. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try taking an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg as needed after meals. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking water regularly. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
