I've noticed my blood pressure has been rising, it's at 140100 now. My lipid profile, thyroid, ECG, and sugar levels are all normal. I'm worried about the increasing BP though. Should I consider starting medication, or would it be better to try changing my lifestyle first? What do you suggest?

Based on your blood pressure readings, even though your other health parameters are normal, it is important to address the high blood pressure. I recommend starting medication to help lower your blood pressure. In addition to medication, it is also beneficial to make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, increasing physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress. These lifestyle modifications can further help in controlling your blood pressure.

I've been on Olmetrack 20 for about a year now, but it's pretty expensive for me. My blood pressure is reading 13084. Do you think I could switch to Olmighty 20 since it's more affordable? I'm 28 years old, 5'3", and weigh 70 kg. Would that have any implications on my health?
Both Olmetrack 20 and Olmighty 20 contain the same active ingredient, which is Olmesartan. Olmighty 20 is a more cost-effective option for you. You can switch to Olmighty 20 with the same dosage as Olmetrack 20 to help maintain your blood pressure at a healthy level.

I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest for the past couple of days. I initially thought it was just gas, but today it felt like someone was squeezing my heart for about 5 minutes. Should I be worried about this?
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any serious underlying conditions such as a heart attack. It is recommended to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for possible heart-related pain.
