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 really anxious about my mom's recent TMT test results. They came back as mildly positive and I'm not sure if that's a good sign or something we should be worried about. Can you help me understand what this might mean for her health?

I'm 25 and dealing with prehypertension. My blood pressure is at 14090. I've had tests done and everything seems normal, like my lipid profile, liver function, and kidney function test. I've been eating mostly green veggies and getting some exercise every morning, but I still can't seem to get my blood pressure under control. Do you think I should consider medication?
Since your blood pressure is not controlled despite lifestyle changes, medication may be necessary to help manage your pre-hypertension. I recommend starting with a low-dose of a medication like Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) 25mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider to adjust the dosage if needed.

I've been trying to eat better and exercise a bit more, but I'm worried because my triglyceride levels are still going up. Last year they were 286, and now they're 365. I've been taking fish liver oil and eating flax seeds regularly. Do you have any advice on what else I could do?
Statins and fibrates are medications that can help lower triglycerides. Statins primarily lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, but they can also modestly reduce triglycerides. Fibrates are specifically effective at lowering triglyceride levels
