I've been feeling this heavy sensation and pressure on my chest, and it's making it hard to breathe. There's no actual pain, but it's definitely worrying me. What could be causing this shortness of breath? Should I be concerned?

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. I recently went to the doctor, and they found it was 130100. I'm 28 years old, and when the doctor asked about my family history, I mentioned that my dad has high blood pressure but it's quite rare. The doctor didn't prescribe anything right now, just said to check it again in a month. I'm currently on antibiotics for a sore throat. Are there any tips you could give me to help manage or cure this?

Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet. Reduce sodium intake in your diet. Increase potassium-rich foods such as bananas, oranges, and potatoes. Limit alcohol consumption. Manage stress through relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation. Get an adequate amount of quality sleep each night. Avoid smoking and limit caffeine intake. If after a month your blood pressure remains high, you may need medication to help control it. It's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
