Hi,

You have normal blood pressure but a mild raised pulse,but not significantly raised pulse.
But looking at your age you have a higher cholesterol levels which would directly put you in high risk category.

Now chest tightness can have various causes
1) Problems related to heart( it is less common seeing you age but you have high cholesterol levels try reducing them
2) Problems related to lungs. Do you have any problems in breathing or are you allergic to dust or may be something ?
3) It could also be due to gastritis(do you have any problems related to your stomach, may you might be having excessive bloating or burping sensation)

Ways to reduce cholesterol
1) Reduce your oil,ghee,butter,deep fried,frozen foods
2) You can change your oil(olive oil is good)
3) Do regular physical exercise
4) Reduce your stress levels

Feel free to ask more questions.

hello I have already started diet for higher cheostorel. but no chelostorel medicine. Do i need to start taking chelostorel medicine or just lower it with proper diet and excercise. Yes, i have allergy to dust. I recently had caugh for 3-4 weeks and still caugh ocassionaly with small amount of mucus. I dont have stomach problem. But when i have headache , my BP is over 130/90 range. This occured 4 times in last 6 days. I am really worried about my BP. what heart tests do you recommend for me? thank you

Dr. Puneet Madan answered : 12 years ago

Hi,

You should try to lower it right now with diet first for 3-4 months. If no effects are seen then you may go on with drugs for this(raised cholesterol).

Your blood pressure is not high otherwise it is just a little raised for your age. As soon as your cholesterol comes down your b.p will also reduce.

If you have chest tightness,it can also be due to allergy(asthma). If you want to go for further test there are many tests but for now probably ECG is enough for you. if that is normal you don't need to go for any other test. Right now just look for your cholesterol and maintain your allergy,cause the season is such in which your allergy might aggravate and give you such discomfort.

My father is 78 years old and has been suffering from constipation for the last 2 years. He has also lost a lot of weight around 10 kgs in this time span. In the last couple of months he has been complaining that his abdominal muscles have torn due to bowel straining and now he says there is loss of muscle in his stomach area. Which is why when he lies down everything is fine but when he sits up and walks around he feels like he is carrying a weight in his stomach. After intake of food it becomes worse and he also gets bloating. We have done all possible tests - colonoscopy, CT scan, ultrasound sometime last year and everything was clear. The doctors gave a verdict of idiopathic constipation and left it at that. His blood work is fine, haemoglobin levels, cholestrol etc. He still suffers from constipation. His prostrate is enlarged but results are fine. What is the solution to his stomach muscle problem ? Is it lack of exercise, lack of protein ? He doesnt have a pot belly and has never had and had always been physically active and fairly slender.

Hi, History told by you favours irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS ). There are two alarming signs in your case : Firstly, loss of weight and that to10kg approx. Secondly, sensation of carrying a weight in stomach. Both of them do occurs in IBS. But to be on safer side,I would suggest you to go for colonoscopy again because it was done 1 yr back and symptoms have aggravated few months back. Treatments available for IBS - - Increase the level of physical activity. - Have regular meals and take t ...

If so is this something that will go away after awhile or do I need to change medications.

Hi, The drug you are taking is from SSRI group(selective serotonin receptor inhibitor group) which is the latest group to be added in depression and has less side effects as compared to other groups given in depression .
