I've been dealing with chest pain for the past one and a half months. I've had a chest X-ray, ECG, Echo, and TMT done, and all the reports came back normal. I even went to a cardiologist, and he said it's not related to my heart. The pain started about a week after I found out I have high BP. I'm currently taking Prolomet AM, Pantocid IT, Drise 60k, and Rozavel. The pain feels like muscle pain on the upper side of my chest, on both sides. Sometimes, it feels like a pinch all over my chest. It also extends to my underarms and neck occasionally, and I feel tightness, especially on the upper right side of my chest. I sometimes have itching in my chest and sensations below my chin and jawline. What's strange is that I feel a bit better after some physical activity, like exercising or walking. Could you help me figure out what's going on? What should I do next?

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's got an artery blockage and has already had an angiography done. I'm stuck trying to figure out whether we should go for angioplasty or bypass surgery. He mentioned something about stents being used in angioplasty. Could you guide me on what's the best option here? Ive attached the report with all the details.
Both angioplasty with stenting and bypass surgery are effective treatments for artery blockages, but the best option depends on the specifics of your father's condition, including the location and severity of the blockages, his overall health, and any other medical issues. Angioplasty with stenting is less invasive and has a shorter recovery time, making it suitable for single or fewer blockages. Bypass surgery, though more invasive with a longer recovery period, might be recommended for multiple or complex blockages and can provide more durable results in certain cases. Consulting with your father's cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon will provide a comprehensive understanding of the best treatment approach tailored to his condition.

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. It was normally around 11080, but every time I visit the doctor, it spikes to 14084. My doctor mentioned that it might be due to anxiety and prescribed torsemide for 20 days. He said I could stop taking it after that. Are there any side effects I should be aware of with this medication? And does this mean I'm developing high blood pressure, even though it doesnt usually go over 140?
Torsemide is a diuretic medication that helps reduce fluid retention in the body, which can help lower blood pressure. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure and edema. When taken as prescribed, torsemide is generally well-tolerated. However, like any medication, it can cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, muscle cramps, and increased urination. Since your doctor has prescribed torsemide for a specific duration of 20 days and then advised you to withdraw the tablet, it is important to follow their instructions carefully. Abruptly stopping diuretic medications can sometimes lead to rebound fluid retention and worsening of symptoms. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and report any significant changes or concerns to your doctor. If your blood pressure does not exceed 14090 and you do not have any symptoms of high blood pressure, it is unlikely that you will develop hypertension. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management, to help keep your blood pressure under control. If you have any further questions or concerns, please consult with your doctor for personalized advice.
