I'm worried because my blood pressure has been 14090 for the past 20 days, and I've started having mild chest pain. I've done all the heart-related tests like ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. Should I be taking blood pressure medicine? My doctor hasn't prescribed anything for it yet, but I'm thinking maybe I should start at least for a few days. I weigh 110 kg, and my doctor only put me on cholesterol medication since my cholesterol is high. What do you think about starting bp medicine?

Your blood pressure reading of 14090 mmHg falls into the category of Stage 1 Hypertension according to most guidelines Since your heart-related tests (ECG, ECHO, TMT) are normal, and your doctor has not prescribed blood pressure (BP) medication, they may believe that your condition can initially be managed with lifestyle changes and monitoring. However, your weight (110 kg) and high cholesterol are additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and managing your blood pressure is crucial.

View allI'm really worried about what to do if a family member, like my mom or dad, ever has chest pain, starts sweating a lot, or has pain in the arm or shoulder. What if they start vomiting too? I mean, in that moment, can I give them aspirin or sorbitrate? And if so, how much should I give? Could you explain how to properly administer it? I'm a bit anxious about this and not really sure about the right steps.
tab sorbitrate 5 mg ,sublingual is advised.

I'm really worried about my vitamin D3 and B12 levels, which are 12 and 160, and I've been experiencing chest pain. I did an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. My doctor suggested taking Neurobion Forte, but since I started it, my chest pain seems to be getting worse. What do you think could be causing this? Should I be worried about a reaction to the medication, or could there be another issue that wasn't detected?
After taking tab Neurobion Forte, if your chest pain has increased, it may be due to a reaction to the medication. Neurobion Forte contains a combination of vitamins B1, B6, and B12. Since you are experiencing chest pain, it is important to stop taking Neurobion Forte and consult your doctor for an alternative medication. In the meantime, you can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen for relief from chest pain.
