I've been experiencing some chest pain for the past few days. It moves around - sometimes on the left side, other times on the right. I'm not sure if it's muscular pain or something related to my chest rib cage. I dont have any issues with breathing and there's no cough either. I've tried deep breathing to see if there's any discomfort, but it doesnt hurt when I do that. I had a chest X-ray just last month and everything looked fine. I do have a deficiency in Vitamin D and B12. Could this be related? What's your take on this?

My blood pressure keeps fluctuating between 160110 and 12586, but I really want to avoid taking any meds for it because I think I can change my lifestyle to control it.

I'm feeling kind of giddy and faint since yesterday. My blood pressure from our home machine reads 103 over 65 and my pulse is 91. I'm also taking care of a one-year-old and not getting enough sleep, waking up frequently. Could these symptoms be related to the lack of sleep, and are my blood pressure and pulse readings considered normal?
Your symptoms of giddiness and fainting feeling could be related to your low blood pressure of 10365. The dizziness may also be exacerbated by lack of proper sleep due to taking care of your one-year-old baby. It is important to stay well-hydrated and ensure you are eating regularly to help maintain your blood pressure. To address the dizziness, you can try increasing your salt intake slightly and lying down with your legs elevated when you feel dizzy. Additionally, you can consider taking medication like Fludrocortisone at a dose of 0.1-0.2 mg daily to help raise your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really puzzled about my C-reactive protein levels. My latest test showed it at 7.5 mgL, and the lab says the normal range is up to 8 mgL. Converted, it's 0.75 mgdL. I've been doing regular check-ups, but some of the doctors on Practo are suggesting that my CRP level is high, and even recommending antibiotics. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my results or if the lab has a different standard. Why would doctors say my CRP is high? Is there a mistake?
