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?

I'm really concerned about a blockage in all three arteries. I'm worried but also wondering how much time we might have to safely delay surgery. Can you provide some guidance on this?

The patient should not delay surgery if there is blockage in all three arteries at such high percentages. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to prevent any serious complications such as heart attack or stroke. Please consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been noticing these small heart flutters and tiny head rushes almost every day in the early evening, and they're always really brief. I had an ECG about a year ago and everything seemed alright back then, but last night around 8 pm, I had a much more intense one while I was just sitting down, and it really caught me off guard. I'm an ex-smoker, keep myself decently fit with moderate exercise, and I'm not overweight. Should I be worried about this bigger episode, or could it be related to something specific?
