I've been having this strange feeling in the middle of my chest, right about my breasts, for a couple of days now. It's hard to put into words but it feels kind of tight and heavy, and sometimes it even hurts when I breathe. I'm starting to get worried. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

The symptoms you're describing, such as a tight and heavy feeling in the middle of your chest, discomfort when breathing, and difficulty describing the sensation, could be related to various conditions, including anxiety, stress, or even a panic attack; however, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen, to rule out any underlying cardiac or respiratory issues.

View allI've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure, and I recently got a reading of 121 over 68. I know that typically the lower number should be around 80, so I'm a little concerned. I'm a 23-year-old guy, and I'm wondering if I should be worried about that lower number being 68. Could you give me some insight into whether this is normal or if I should be doing something about it?
A diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 68 mmHg is actually considered within the normal range, as the American Heart Association defines normal DBP as less than 80 mmHg, and a DBP between 60-79 mmHg is generally associated with better cardiovascular health, so your reading of 12168 mmHg is considered normal for a healthy 23-year-old male.

I'm currently taking 50 mg of metoprolol succinate because I had high blood pressure around a month ago, with readings peaking at 150100. Lately, my 24-hour average blood pressure is about 11070, but every 5 to 6 days it suddenly spikes to 14090. Is this something normal, or should I think about adjusting my dose?
It's good to hear that your average blood pressure has improved with the current medication. Occasional spikes in blood pressure can happen despite treatment. In your case, since the spikes occur every 5 to 6 days, it may be worth discussing with your healthcare provider about potentially increasing the dose of metoprolol succinate to better control these spikes. An adjustment in dosage or adding another medication may be considered to maintain more stable blood pressure levels.
