I've been experiencing chest pain on the left side for about 8 months now. I've had an ECG and an Echo, and both came back normal. I even did a TMT test, and it was negative too, even though it showed a heart problem. But I'm still having this chest pain. Could you shed some light on what might be going on? It's really concerning.

View allI'm really concerned about my heart rate because it's usually around 100 or more whether I'm just sitting, walking, or doing anything else. I've been using my Fitbit to track it, and I also have an Omron BP machine at home that often shows it going over 100, sometimes even hitting 120. I did see a cardiologist who said it was nothing, but I'm still worried. Can you help me figure out what might be going on or if there's anything I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing persistent tachycardia. One common medication used to help lower heart rate is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting Metoprolol at a low dose, such as 25mg once daily, and then adjusting the dose as needed to help control your heart rate. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly while on this medication.

What is a good blood pressure by age?
In earlier times, Blood pressure was defined according to age. With all the new research data, Hypertension is defined only by increase in numbers in blood pressure which applies similarly for all adults above 18 years of age. Normal blood pressure is a reading less than 120/80 mm Hg. Any reading above 120/80 mm Hg checked consequently for three days needs a doctor's opinion.

My mother has congestive heart failure and her doctor recommended she take Azmarda 100mg twice a day. I'm wondering if there's a more affordable alternative to Azmarda 100mg that would still be effective? Were keeping an eye on costs and just trying to find the best option for her treatment.
for your mother's condition of congestive cardiac failure, an alternative to Amzarda 100mg that is more cost-effective is Losartan 50mg. It can be taken once daily and is a good option for managing heart failure while being more affordable."
