I've been having this weird chest pain for about a month now. It gets worse when I'm lying down, breathing deeply, or exercising. I tried taking muscle relaxants for three days, and it helped a bit, but now the pain's back. It's not unbearable, but it feels really uncomfortable and tight when I try to take a deep breath. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

I'm 36, and my blood pressure is pretty high at 142 over 94. I'm worried that if I start taking blood pressure meds, it might lead to erectile dysfunction or affect my sex life somehow. I'm getting married in four months, so this is really on my mind, especially since I haven't had morning erections for the past five months. I already walk about 2 km every day, but can I manage this with lifestyle changes alone? What's the best way forward?
Starting blood pressure medication is important to manage your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. Some blood pressure medications, such as beta-blockers and diuretics, may have side effects like erectile dysfunction. However, there are other options like calcium channel blockers or ACE inhibitors that are less likely to cause this issue. Lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, limiting alcohol intake, and managing stress can also help control blood pressure and improve erectile function. I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting a blood pressure medication that is less likely to cause erectile dysfunction, such as a calcium channel blocker like Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, continue with your daily walks and consider incorporating other healthy habits to improve your overall health and sexual function.

I'm really worried about my heart condition. The doctor mentioned that my left anterior descending artery type 3 vessel has a 70% blockage in the proximal region. The mid and distal parts of the LAD are normal, but there's an ostial plaque in D1, while D2 is normal. They've suggested angioplasty, and I'm unsure about what to do next. Could you give me some advice or explain this a bit more? I'm feeling anxious about the whole situation.
"Based on your condition of Left anterior descending artery type 3 vessel Proximal lad 70% present with Mid and distal lad normal and D1-ostial plaque, the recommended treatment is angioplasty. You can use antiplatelet medications such as Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg once daily along with Aspirin 81mg once daily to prevent blood clots. Additionally, Atorvastatin (Lipitor) 40mg once daily can be used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further plaque buildup. Follow your doctor's advice for the dosage and duration of these medications."
