I've been checking my blood pressure over the past few days and my average reading is around 14090. When I checked it a second time, it was showing 13089. Is this something I should be concerned about? Can you give me some advice?

I've been having this chest pain for a few days now and sometimes when I'm trying to sleep, I get these heart palpitations and feel short of breath. It honestly feels like I'm going to die, and it's making it hard for me to get any sleep. I went to a general physician recently and explained everything. The doctor just checked my pulse and listened to my heart with a stethoscope and said theres nothing to worry about. But can I actually trust that? I keep feeling like something's wrong with my heart, but the doctor didnt suggest any tests. Should I get some tests to check my heart health, or am I overthinking this? What would you advise?

it seems like there may not be an immediate cause for concern regarding heart health. However, if your symptoms persist, worsen, or cause you significant distress, its perfectly reasonable to ask for further testing to rule out heart conditions and also explore the possibility of anxiety-related symptoms. If you're still unsure or worried, I recommend having a follow-up consultation with your doctor or seeking a cardiology specialist for more specific tests, such as an ECG or echocardiogram.

Is it a big deal that my TMT showed significant ST depression of 0.1mm in leads V4-V6 at peak exercise but didn't persist in recovery? The test said mildly positive for RMI, and I reached my target heart rate. I did Bruce stage 3 for about 8.09 minutes. My blood pressure is normal resting at 12080 and after exercise, it was 14080. I'm not diabetic. My METs were 10.2. Should I be worried about this? Could it be treated at this stage? Do I need to go for an angiography, and if I do, how soon should it be done?
