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 trying to figure out if my ECG looks normal or if I should see someone about it. Could you help me understand what's going on with the T waves in leads II, III, aVF, V3, V4, V5, and V6? I'm feeling really anxious about this.

Abnormal T waves in leads II, III, aVF, V3, V4, V5, and V6 can indicate various cardiac conditions. It is important to further evaluate these findings to determine the underlying cause. In some cases, abnormal T waves can be a sign of ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, or other cardiac issues. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm having chest pain that's really concerning me. When I press the center of my chest with my finger, it hurts, and sometimes I feel pain on the left and right sides too, but other times there's no pain at all. Even when I cough, it's like the pain flares up in my chest. Lately, I've also been experiencing some back pain. I have had diabetes for the past 10 years and have been on Novamix 30 insulin. Could you suggest any medication or remedies for relief?
