View allI'm experiencing a bit of chest pressure both in the mornings when I wake up and again at night. It's starting to really worry me, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm genuinely concerned.
A small chest pressure in the morning and at night could be due to acid reflux or heartburn. I would recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps alleviate the symptoms. You can take 1-2 tablets as needed after meals and before bedtime. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because every time I feel stressed, I get chest pain and end up panicking. I rush to get an ECG and 2D echo done, but it's always normal, which is honestly exhausting. I'm scared it's something serious like a heart attack, but then the tests say otherwise. What should I do? Any advice would be appreciated.
To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a medication called **Propranolol**. This is a beta-blocker that can help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as chest pain and palpitations. The usual dosage for Propranolol in such cases is 20-40mg taken 2-3 times a day. Additionally, you may benefit from an anxiolytic medication such as **Lorazepam** to help with acute episodes of anxiety and panic. The typical dosage for Lorazepam is 0.5-2mg taken as needed for anxiety symptoms. It's important to also consider non-pharmacological approaches to managing stress, such as relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, regular physical activity, and seeking support from a therapist or counselor. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm really worried about my blood pressure which is at 13095I've already seen my physician and done a ton of tests like LFT, KFT, and a whole body USG with a renal artery Doppler. Everything came back normal, but they mentioned it's rising for unexplained reasons. Can anyone shed some light on why this might be happening?
Given that all tests are normal, your physician may consider your high blood pressure (13095) as "essential hypertension" or "idiopathic hypertension," meaning it has no identifiable cause, and recommend lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress reduction, and adequate sleep, along with possible medication to manage and control your blood pressure
