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

And how to overcome this? 2- His HSCRP is 2.88 now.. is this concerning ? How to lower it down? He eat healthy diet. Daily 40 grams of Paneer as protien and good amount Of fruits ( apple,Avacardo, Papaya, Dragonfruit). Also he walks 5 KMs daily on an average.

Regarding high triglycerides

I am a 38-year-old male recently diagnosed with Chronic Ischaemic Heart Disease. My recent laboratory results show very high triglyceride levels at 563 mg/dL and total cholesterol at 249 mg/dL. Although I do not currently have chest pain, I have been experiencing palpitations and shortness of breath while running or talking 10 miniutes, sometimes accompanied by syncope. I am currently prescribed LIPANTHYL (Fenofibrate) 145 mg and ASTATIN (Atorvastatin) 10 mg. Since my insurance has not approved further investigations, could you please advise if an echocardiogram is strictly required for my condition or if there are alternative steps I should take?
