Our body has Carcadian system and this rythm dips and raises throutout the day. This system sends out PA1-1 cells which blocks the blood clots from breaking down. Another reason is when we wake up, brain floods the heart with hormones which increases the load on the heart .

I've had this chest pain for like 10 days now, and my ECG came back normal, which is good I guess? But I'm on these meds like mild TR and taking aceclofenac paracetamol tablets. Could you explain what's going on with my chest pain? Is it something I should be worried about? And is there anything else you think I should be doing?

do ECHO once if chest pain persists

I've been experiencing times when my breathing stops while I'm asleep, and my heart rate drops below 55, which sometimes makes me feel dizzy. I'm not very active, and my weight is normal. I'm wondering if these could be signs of a heart problem. Can you give me some advice on what might be happening?

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my wife. She's 63 and her blood pressure reading is 14090. She's been taking Amlokind 2.5 mg like the doctor advised, but I'm not sure if this reading is okay for her age. Our doctor said it's normal, but I just want to double-check. Is there anything else we should be doing or watching out for?
