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'm still dealing with chest pain whenever I talk loudly or shout, especially when I'm angry. It starts spreading and only eases when I lie down or someone rubs my back. Even climbing stairs brings on the pain. I've had all the tests, including a CT Angio, and everything came back normal, with the cardiologist saying there's no heart issue. But this problem isn't going away. I'm feeling really confused about what steps to take next. Should I consider getting a more in-depth check-up or maybe visit a bigger hospital?

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. It was at 140100, so my doctor put me on Telma 20, taking it once a day. I've been on it for four days now, and today my blood pressure dropped to 10040. Is it safe to keep taking this medication?

yes continue the medication ..
