Health Q&A
High bp for no reason
Good evening doctor, I am suffering from health anxiety and continuous bp checking. Last 5 days my wisdom teeth aches due to wrong feeling during this time I use muscle relaxant for chronic pain. After 2 days I have severe pain and bp is around 170-160/105-95 for full day and go to other dentist he removed filling I got relief in pain after that same day my bp is around 132-128 to 84-79 without any medicine and dentist gives my Amoxicillin 500 and declofanic pottasium paracetamol sp and dexona. After last 2 days my bp increase is around 160-154 to 104-95 without no reason. No teeth pain no fever. I am so much worried and confused. Today I measured bp about 100 times my bp all time in lying position is around 164-146 to 104-94 in normal position. Only few reading out of 100 show 135/86. What should I do so much worried. I do all low impact exercise yoga but nothing work for me. One more thing previously my bp is in range of 130-115 to 82-72 all time still normal position. please help.
Cardiac fear
I am 28 years old and have been experiencing chest tightness, heaviness, and chest pain for a long time. These symptoms do not occur only during exercise. Sometimes they happen even when I am sitting or resting. The pain can be in the middle of the chest or on the left side, lasts a few seconds, and then goes away. Sometimes it is associated with left arm pain, sometimes not. I have had multiple TMTs and Echocardiograms over the years, all normal. CT Coronary Angiography done 3 years ago was normal. My latest TMT (2 months ago) was normal, and my latest Echo (3 months ago) was normal with EF 72%. Today I walked on a treadmill for 15 minutes (4.2 km/h, incline 3.5 for 6 min and incline 5 for 6 min). My heart rate reached 148 bpm, but I had no chest pain during exercise. Does this symptom pattern sound more cardiac or non-cardiac in nature considering the normal investigations? Can I feel it's non cardiac without repeating any tests now please suggest I am scared to the core

Thank you, Doctor, for your guidance. Regarding my diagnosis of CIHD, it was mentioned in my medical claim form, but I have not yet undergone an ECHO or a Treadmill test. I will proceed with arranging these tests immediately as you have advised, despite some challenges with insurance coverage. I appreciate your expert recommendation.
