I've been noticing something odd when I sleep. If I rest my head on my hand, when I wake up, that part of my head feels numb, almost like there's been blood circulation loss. It usually happens near my ear or sometimes at the back. Once I wake up and move my hand away, I can feel the blood coming back, and after massaging it for a bit, it feels normal again. Is this something to worry about, or is it common? I'm a bit anxious about it.

View allI think I might have angina because I'm experiencing chest pains. I also have high blood pressure and was born with a slight blockage. I'm just 18 and I'm not sure how to talk to my parents about this. Honestly, I'm scared to go to a hospital. If I manage to lower my blood pressure, do you think it'll help with these symptoms? This has been happening for the past two days and I'm pretty worried. Could you give me some advice on what to do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, especially given your history of high blood pressure and a slight blockage. Lowering your blood pressure may help alleviate some symptoms, but it is important to seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take aspirin to help with chest pain. Please take one low-dose aspirin (81mg) and chew it to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Make sure to inform your parents about your symptoms and seek medical help as soon as possible.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 55 and during her recent health check-up, the TMT showed she's mildly positive for inducible ischemia. Her report mentioned that she exercised for 8 minutes, reaching a maximum METS of 10, and her heart rate went from a resting 70 bpm to a max of 164 bpm, which is 99% of her predicted maximum for her age. Plus, her resting BP was 12078 mmHg and it went up to 15090 mmHg. Can you help me understand what all this means and how serious it might be?
tmt report is normal.

I've been having this quick, sharp pain on the left side of my chest whenever I put pressure on my left hand or lift something heavy. It's really strange because the pain just pops up out of nowhere, lasts only a few seconds, and then it's gone. Its been happening now and then for about 4 or 5 months, but it seems to be more frequent lately. Any idea what could be causing this? What should I do about it?
This type of chest pain that is triggered by certain movements or activities could be musculoskeletal in nature, such as costochondritis. It is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone. To help relieve the pain and inflammation, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) at a dose of 400mg to 800mg every 6 hours as needed with food. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may also provide some relief. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
