I was just in the hospital for covid, and they treated me with dexa and antibiotic injections. I got discharged yesterday, but now my heart rate is really slowlike 48 to 49 bpm. Is this something serious? I'm kinda worried about what's going on.

View allI've been keeping track of my blood pressure, and it usually falls between 130140 and 8090 over the last month. I'm not keen on starting any medication right now and wonder if I can get it back to normal with a healthy diet. I don't smoke or drink, and I sleep well. I weigh 86 kg and am working on getting it down below 75 kg. I'm thinking being overweight might be the only reason for my high BP since my sugar levels and kidney function are normal. I get mild headaches approximately once every two weeks. Do you think focusing on weight loss and diet could help stabilize my blood pressure?
Maintaining a healthy diet can definitely help in managing your blood pressure. In addition to a healthy diet, it is important to maintain a healthy weight and engage in regular physical activity. Since you are already working on reducing your weight, that is a positive step towards improving your blood pressure. While being overweight can contribute to high blood pressure, it is not the only factor. Other factors such as diet, physical activity level, stress, and genetics can also play a role in blood pressure levels. I get mild headache once in two weeks or so. Mild headaches can sometimes be associated with high blood pressure. However, it is important to monitor your headaches and consult with a healthcare professional if they become more frequent or severe. As you are not currently on any medication and prefer to manage your blood pressure through lifestyle changes, I recommend focusing on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Additionally, reducing your sodium intake can also help in managing blood pressure. Regular physical activity and stress management techniques can further support your efforts in maintaining a healthy blood pressure level.

I've been monitoring my blood pressure and it's usually around 13090 or 13787, which I'm not sure if that's high or normal. Do I need to be on any medication for this? At home, it's typically 13086, but at work, I've noticed it goes up to 14085 or sometimes even 14080. How can I keep my blood pressure at a healthy level? Should I be worried about these readings or is this something normal? Could you give me some advice on this?
it is normal

my mom has a heart block and one artery is blocked is angioplasty really needed or are there other options we can try first
It's understandable to want to explore all options before considering angioplasty, especially when dealing with a heart block and a blocked artery. Angioplasty is a procedure that can help improve blood flow to the heart by opening blocked or narrowed arteries. However, it's not always the first, or even the best, choice, and there are other approaches that can be tried
