I'm really concerned about this ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing along with pain in my left arm. It's been happening quite a lot over the past eight months. I'm trying to figure out what's really going on. Any ideas what could be causing this?

This could be a sign of a heart condition, specifically angina or a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take aspirin (e.g. Bayer Aspirin) 325mg to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate and blood pressure. My heart rate stays around 96 on average and jumps to 110 when I stand up. My blood pressure is usually around 13095. Should I be worried about these numbers, or is it something that could help with meditation?

Your heart rate of 96 on average and increasing to 110 on standing, along with a blood pressure of 13095, indicate that you may have some issues with your cardiovascular health. It would be advisable to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Atenolol 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, practicing meditation can also be beneficial in managing stress and improving overall heart health.

Your mother may be experiencing symptoms of palpitations, which can be concerning. I recommend consulting with her doctor to discuss this issue. In the meantime, you can consider adding a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (e.g. Lopressor) to help control her fast heart rate.
