I've been having this tightness in my chest and feeling really tired, plus I'm not sleeping well at all. It's also making my mood all over the place and I'm dealing with some shortness of breath too. Could these symptoms be connected? Should I be concerned or is this something that will pass on its own?

You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or stress. To help with these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 1mg as needed for anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises or meditation, may also be beneficial. If symptoms persist, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been having chest pain on my left side and pain in my left hand for about 5 months now. On top of that, I've been dealing with a headache for the past 10 days, and sometimes I feel dizzy. The doctor had me do a TMT, ECHO, and ECG, but all those tests came out normal. I'm feeling pretty confused because my blood pressure often stays high, roughly around 120-130 over 75-85. I'm really not sure what's going on or what to do next. Any ideas on what could be causing these issues?

From the symptoms you have described, along with your normal TMT, ECHO, and ECG results, it is important to consider other possible causes for your chest pain, left hand pain, headache, and dizziness. Given your elevated blood pressure readings, it is possible that your symptoms could be related to hypertension. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and stress management. In addition, you may benefit from medication to help control your blood pressure. I suggest starting with an antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure and potentially alleviate your symptoms. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management. Remember to also follow a healthy diet, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and prioritize regular physical activity to improve your overall cardiovascular health.

I can see my pulse visibly pulsating right below my thumb. It doesn't hurt or anything, but it sure looks odd. I don't remember seeing it there before, or maybe I just never noticed it. Should I be worried or is this normal?

I'm really worried about my dad. He had an angioplasty in June, and after that, he started having blood clots in his hand and thighs. The doctor thought it might be because of high dosage meds, so they reduced his mg, but now he's also been having blood coming from his mouth quite often. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?

The blood coming from your father's mouth could be due to a side effect of the medications he is taking. One common side effect of blood thinners, which are often prescribed after angioplasty to prevent blood clots, is bleeding. I would recommend consulting with the doctor again to discuss this new symptom. It is important to monitor his medication dosage and ensure it is appropriate for him. Additionally, the doctor may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication to help reduce the risk of bleeding from the mouth.
