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've been having a really hard time with my sleep schedule. I tend to crash around 7 or 8 in the evening and can barely stay up past 9 p.m. It's like my body just shuts down after dinner, and I'm struggling to understand why this is happening. On top of that, I'm experiencing some other weird stuff. Whenever I sit down or stand up quickly, my heart starts racing like crazy, and it also happens if I suddenly fall onto the bed. I've heard of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and anxiety symptoms, and I know they can cause things like this, along with heavy sweating and really dry skin. But even after trying anxiety meds, nothing seems to change. What could be going on with me? Any ideas?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). POTS is a condition characterized by an abnormal increase in heart rate that occurs after sitting up or standing. The symptoms you described, such as racing heart when changing positions, feeling tired in the evening, and sweating, can be associated with POTS. For the symptoms of POTS, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and doing exercises to improve blood flow. Additionally, medications like midodrine or fludrocortisone may be prescribed to help manage your symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been noticing that my heart is beating really fast and sometimes skips a beat, and it started about three weeks ago. I just turned 18 and have been masturbating a lot lately; I'm wondering if that's connected. I had an ECG done, and the doctor said my heart is fine, but it doesnt feel normal to me. My heart's never done this before. What steps can I take to get my heart rate back to normal?

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?
do chest xray
