I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest, and I found out that my ESR is 25. My vitamin D3 level is really low at 3.75. I got a CT scan of my lungs, and everything came back normal. I'm curious if taking vitamin D3 supplements will help with this chest pain, or do you think I should see a cardiologist about it?

View allI'm really worried about my blood pressure lately. My 2D echo showed concentric LVH with an EF of 60 and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I've been on medication since September, taking one tablet in the morning and two at night. Initially, my BP seemed stable, but now in December, it's been fluctuating a lot. Previously, it was around 12082 to 12585 in the morning and 13585 to 13882 in the afternoon. But now, I'm seeing readings like 14090 in the morning and 14894 in the afternoon. I'm active, so what's causing these changes in winter? How should I take care of my BP during this season?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially with your medical history of Concentric LVH and diastolic dysfunction. Considering your situation, I would recommend adding or adjusting your current medication regimen to better control your blood pressure during the winter season. You can discuss with your doctor about adding a calcium channel blocker like Amlodipine 5mg in the morning and a combination of Valsartan 80mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg in the evening. This can help in better blood pressure control throughout the day. In addition to medication, it is also important to make lifestyle modifications to help manage your blood pressure. This includes reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. It is not uncommon for blood pressure to fluctuate with the change in seasons, but with the right medication and lifestyle adjustments, you can better manage your blood pressure even during the winter months. Make sure to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for any further adjustments needed."

I'm really thin and I've noticed that I'm very aware of my heartbeat. I can even see the muscle on the left side of my chest moving with it. I've done a Holter, ECG, and ECHO, and they all came back normal. Should I be concerned about this?

I've been feeling palpitations at night, and I'm a bit worried about it. My triglycerides level was 209, but my 2D Echo and ECG came back normal. My thyroid levels are also within limits. I don't feel any pain, just these palpitations. What could be causing them, and should I be concerned?
It's good that you have already done some tests to rule out any serious issues. Palpitations can sometimes be caused by anxiety or stress. However, since you are still experiencing them, it's important to consider other factors. One common cause of palpitations is caffeine intake. Try to reduce your caffeine consumption, especially in the afternoon and evening. Additionally, make sure you are staying hydrated and getting enough sleep. If the palpitations persist, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. If the symptoms continue, it's best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
