I've been having some weird symptoms lately. A few days ago, I woke up with this chest pain and it kinda hurt when I breathed. My inhaler helped a bit, but then yesterday, my blood pressure reading at the dentist was 15074, which is way higher than my usual 120-127 for the systolic part. I'm trying to figure out if I should just make an appointment with my GP or if it's serious enough to hit up urgent care or the ER. What do you think?

View allI'm trying to understand what "mild left axis deviation" means since it's shown up in my ECG results. I'm feeling a bit worried and unsure about what this indicates. Is there a specific medicine or treatment I should consider? Any advice or insights would be really helpful.
Mild left axis deviation on an ECG indicates a slight deviation in the electrical activity of the heart towards the left side. This can be a normal variant for some individuals, but it can also be associated with certain heart conditions. It is important to correlate this finding with your overall health status and any symptoms you may be experiencing. For mild left axis deviation without any underlying heart condition or symptoms, no specific medication may be necessary. However, if there are other heart issues present, your doctor may prescribe medications such as **Metoprolol** at a dosage of 25-100mg per day to help manage the condition and reduce the risk of complications. Always follow your doctor's recommendations and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your heart health.

I'm a 28-year-old female, and in my recent blood test, my high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level came back really high at 9.95. I'm worried because I know that's way above the normal range. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about?

I've been having this issue since an incident a few months back. I was eating crunchy peanut butter, and it got stuck in my food pipe, which led to some pain on the left side of my chest. It's been three months now, but I still feel pain in my chest sometimes. My heart rate also seems to elevate out of nowhere, even when I'm just lying down. Is there a link between the peanut butter incident and these heart symptoms? I've had an ECG and Echo, and both came back normal. I'm wondering if something could be wrong with my heart or if it's all just in my head. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
It's good that you have already done ECG and Echo tests, and the results were normal. The symptoms you are experiencing may be related to esophageal irritation from the incident with the peanut butter, rather than a heart issue. To help with the chest pain and elevated heart rate, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to reduce acid reflux and irritation in the esophagus. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole to further reduce stomach acid production. If the symptoms persist, you may also consider taking a medication like Propranolol to help with the elevated heart rate. However, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
