Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction can be managed and sometimes improved with lifestyle changes and medications. Some ways to help reverse left ventricular diastolic dysfunction include: - ACE inhibitors like Enalapril (5-20 mg once daily) - ARBs like Losartan (25-100 mg once daily) - Beta blockers like Metoprolol (25-100 mg once daily) - Calcium channel blockers like Amlodipine (5-10 mg once daily) - Diuretics like Furosemide (20-80 mg once daily) It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for your specific condition.

I'm a bit worried because about a month ago I started having constant chest pain and it spread to my left shoulder and hand. I got a general checkup and found out my blood pressure was 160100, but my ECG and 2D echo and sugar levels were normal. They did say my triglycerides and uric acid were high, and I have a fatty liver, so I've been on a strict diet for three months, cutting out salt and doing regular walks. After 10 days, my blood pressure dropped to 12080, which I guess is good! My dad and grandpa had heart issues, so I'm a bit concerned if it's hereditary. Right now, Im on Telma 40 and Concor 5mg but since my blood pressure is normal, Im not sure if I should continue with these meds. Also, my left shoulder and chest still hurt. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm really confused right now.

as you have family history you are at risk sooo do not stop them,its because of those medicines your BP is normal,follow healthy lifestyle and do follow your doctors advice
