I've been having a heavy feeling and some pain on the left side of my chest, close to my heart, since this morning. I'm really concerned that it could be something related to my heart, even though I'm only 28. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something else?

View allI'm having this issue where my blood pressure keeps going up and downlike, sometimes it's around 143120 and other times it drops to 11063. I'm really not sure why this is happening, and it's making me anxious. Could you help me figure this out?
Fluctuating blood pressure readings can be concerning and may be influenced by various factors, including stress, anxiety, diet, and lifestyle habits. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management. In your case, since you are also experiencing anxiety, it is crucial to address both issues. For your fluctuating blood pressure, you can consider taking medications like Amlodipine 5mg for high blood pressure and Propranolol 20mg for anxiety. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult with a healthcare provider for further guidance. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can also help in managing your blood pressure and anxiety.

I'm dealing with mild MVP and my MREF is at 60 percent. I've got a lot of anxiety and my stomach's frequently upset. Occasionally, I get palpitations, especially when I'm stressed out. What can I do to get rid of these symptoms?
based on your symptoms of mild mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with grade 1 mitral regurgitation (MR), anxiety, stomach upset, palpitations, and increased anxiety in stressful situations, I recommend the following treatment plan: 1. For anxiety, you can take a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) like Sertraline 50mg once daily. 2. For palpitations, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg once daily. 3. For stomach upset, you can take an antacid like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast. 4. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. 5. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco as they can worsen anxiety and palpitations. 6. Follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and adjust treatment as needed. I hope this treatment plan helps alleviate your symptoms

I'm trying to understand the differences between Cocor 5 and Inderal 40. Are they used for the same purpose, and if so, which one is considered safer with fewer side effects?
Yes, Cocor 5 and Inderal 40 are both beta blockers used to treat high blood pressure, angina, and certain heart rhythm disorders. In terms of safety and side effects, Inderal 40 (Propranolol) is generally considered to have fewer side effects compared to Cocor 5 (Bisoprolol). Inderal 40 is often preferred in patients with certain heart conditions or anxiety disorders due to its well-established safety profile. The usual dosage for Inderal 40 is 40mg once daily, while the dosage for Cocor 5 is 5mg once daily.
