I'm wondering if having a blood pressure reading of 12060 is considered normal or if it might be something I should be concerned about. I've been leading a pretty healthy lifestyle, but should I think about seeing a doctor?

Your blood pressure reading of 12060 is considered normal and falls within the healthy range. Since you have a healthy lifestyle, there is no immediate cause for concern. However, it's always a good idea to monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, or chest pain, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional.

View allI'm feeling kind of worried. I don't have any intense pain in my chest or heart, but it feels like something weird is going on with my heart. Whenever this happens, I end up drinking a lot of water until I fall asleep. What's also freaking me out is there's swelling under my left collarbone. This whole thing makes me feel weaker and more scared. What's going on?

I'm really concerned about this recurring middle chest pain I've been experiencing. I had a coronary angiogram done a while back on March 14, 2014, and everything showed normal coronaries, except for this myocardial bridging of the LAD. Can you help me understand what this means? Is this related to my chest pain, and should I be worried about it? Also, is there a validity period for the angiogram results, or is it something I should get checked again after a certain time?
The validity of your coronary angiogram performed on 14.3.14, which showed normal coronary arteries and myocardial bridging of the LAD, can diminish over time due to factors such as the progression of coronary artery disease, changes in symptoms, and continued risk factors like smoking or high blood pressure. Since the angiogram only provides a snapshot in time, it's important to regularly monitor your heart health, especially if you experience new or worsening chest pain. For the most accurate and up-to-date assessment, please consult your cardiologist, who may recommend repeat testing or other diagnostic procedures based on your current condition. Regular follow-ups are crucial to ensure your heart health is effectively managed.

I've recently turned 23, and I've been monitoring my blood pressure at home with an Omron monitor I got last month. My readings always seem a bit high, with systolic between 125-135 and diastolic between 85-95. My heart rate is hanging out between 95-110, even when I'm just resting. I've been feeling some burning and pressure on my chest with occasional pain. It's not severe, but it happens. I had an ECG and Echo last year, and the doctor said they were normal, but I'm still concerned. Should I be worried about these numbers and symptoms? Do you think I should consult with a doctor?
It's important to address your elevated blood pressure and resting heart rate. Based on your symptoms and readings, it would be advisable to start medication to manage your blood pressure. I recommend starting with a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, you can take Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is appropriate for you. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure and heart rate is also essential.
