Can someone explain what a "Borderline ECG" means? I attached my mom's ECG report, and I'm really worried. Is this something we need to treat, or is everything okay?

View allI'm having some trouble with my blood pressure meds. I've been on Tazloc 40 and Nebicard 2.5 once a day, and while they help with my BP and pulse, I'm dealing with nasal blockage, ear infections, and respiratory issues. I tried LN Bloc and Ivabradine like my doctor suggested, and that solved the breathing problems, but my BP and pulse aren't as controlled. Switching to LN Bloc 10 twice a day with Nebicard 2.5 worked for my BP and pulse, but those side effects came back. Now my doctor is suggesting benidipine and ivabradine, and it's getting pretty confusing with all the changes. Is benidipine a good option, or is there something else I should try that won't cause the breathing issues or head congestion?
Benidipine is a calcium channel blocker that can be used to treat high blood pressure. It is generally well-tolerated, but like any medication, it can have side effects. If you are experiencing nasal blockage, ear infection, and respiratory issues with your current medications, it may be worth trying a different class of antihypertensive medication. One option to consider is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor such as Enalapril. ACE inhibitors are known to be effective in treating high blood pressure and have a lower incidence of respiratory side effects compared to some other classes of antihypertensive medications. Another option is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) such as Losartan. ARBs work in a similar way to ACE inhibitors but may be better tolerated in some individuals. It is important to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation. They can provide guidance on the appropriate dosage and monitor your response to the new medication.

I'm a bit concerned about my BP readings. It was 10866 recently, but before that, it was 9363. Should I be worried about this change, or is it normal? Do you think I need to see a doctor? Please let me know what you think!
-A blood pressure reading of 10866 is considered within the normal range, though it's slightly higher than your previous reading of 9363. It seems like a healthy change, but if you're feeling any symptoms like dizziness or weakness, its worth consult
