I'm trying to understand the results of a recent angiogram and I'd love some clarity. It mentions a right femoral arterial approach with a normal LMCA, but there's a 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD and a 50% stenosis distally in the LCX. It also says the OM has a 90% stenosis in a small vessel, and the RCA has a 40% stenosis proximally. The renal angiogram shows everything is normal for both kidneys. My biggest worry is about the critical stenosis in the LAD. What does all this mean for my heart health, and what kind of treatment or lifestyle changes should I be considering?

I'm a bit concerned and confused about my blood pressure readings. I've been using an electronic BP machine at home, and I've noticed that my readings are high when I first measure it while sittingsomething like 135 to 140 over 90 to 95. But after a few minutes, it seems to drop to around 125 to 130 over 85 to 90. Does this mean I might need medication, or is this fluctuation normal?
"Based on your blood pressure readings, it seems like you have elevated blood pressure, especially when initially measured in a sitting position. It is recommended to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle modifications to help lower it. If your blood pressure consistently remains high, medication may be necessary. I would recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to discuss possible treatment options. In the meantime, you can try to reduce your blood pressure through lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, reducing salt intake, and managing stress."

I'm 22 and my resting heart rate is 112. Is this something I should be worried about? I haven't had any cholesterol or high blood pressure issues, and there aren't any heart problems in my past either.
