I've been having this really awful chest pain for about a month now, and it sometimes feels like my heartbeat is a bit off. After doing a bunch of research, I think it might be esophageal spasms. I went to the ER twice, and they said my EKG and heart monitor were fine. My doctor gave me muscle relaxers, which help with the spasms, but I still cant shake this terrible feeling in my chest. My blood pressure seems okay, it's usually around 120 over 86. I keep feeling my pulse all down my chest and arms, and its been really hard to get any sleep. Could there be something else going on that Im missing?

View allWhat should I make of my recent ECG results that mention a sinus rhythm and the RS transition zone in 5 leads displaced to the right, but everything else seems normal? A couple of months ago, the ECG said LVH and possible lateral infarct and called it abnormal, even though it also noted a normal sinus rhythm. Back then, my blood pressure was 150100 with a pulse of 95, while now it's down to 13080 and my pulse is 81. Does this suggest an improvement in my heart condition?

Hey, I'm really worried because my dad had a heart attack back in August 2013 and was treated with angio, with 2 stents placed in his heart at Chettinad Hospital in Kelambakkam. Now he's got a cold and cough, and I'm not sure what medicine he should take for that. Can you help me out?

I'm a bit concerned about my dad's blood pressure readings. He's 61 and has high blood pressure, so he's been on medication. Recently, during a check-up, his readings were 90 and 126. But here's the thing thats puzzling me his blood pressure was higher in his right arm than his left by about 10 points. I'm really curious about what could cause this difference. Is it something we should be worried about?
This difference in blood pressure between arms is known as inter-arm blood pressure difference. It can be caused by various factors such as differences in blood vessel stiffness, blockages, or narrowing in the arteries of one arm compared to the other. It can also be due to conditions like atherosclerosis or peripheral artery disease. To address this issue, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In terms of medication, he can continue taking his high blood pressure medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help control his blood pressure levels.
