I'm 17 years old and I've recently gotten some blood pressure readings like 13080 and 13081. I'm kind of worried and wondering if these numbers are normal for my age. Would appreciate some insight on this.

These blood pressure readings fall within the prehypertension range for your age group. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to keep it in a healthy range. You can try to reduce your sodium intake, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, and manage stress. If these measures are not enough to lower your blood pressure, you may need medication. I recommend you to consult with a doctor to discuss further evaluation and treatment options.

View allI'm 18 and just got my ECG results which say sinus arrhythmia but I don't really understand what that means. My heart rate is 75 bpm, P is 97 ms, PR is 117 ms, QRS is 98 ms, QTQTc is at 352395 ms, and there's something about RV5 and SV1 being at 2.7031.245 mv. They noted it's a normal ECG, but I'm still a bit worried. Should I be concerned about any of these numbers?
Your ECG report indicates a normal heart rhythm with a diagnosis of sinus arrhythmia, which is a benign condition characterized by a variation in heart rate with breathing, and all other parameters, including PR, QRS, and QT intervals, are within normal limits, suggesting no underlying cardiac abnormalities, so you can be reassured that your heart is functioning normall

I'm concerned about my heart rateit's usually over 100, and I get palpitations a lot. When I'm just lying in bed, my heart rate gets between 110-120, and even just climbing up one flight of stairs sends it up to 160. My thyroid levels are normal, though I do have a thyroid nodule. My haemoglobin is at 9, and my BMI is normal. I also have spondyloarthropathy and hidradenitis suppurativa, so my CRP and ESR levels are high. I've attached an ECG from my Apple Watch that I took during the palpitations. Is such a high heart rate normal?
Based on your symptoms and medical history, it seems like you may be experiencing tachycardia, which is an abnormally high heart rate. Given your palpitations, breathlessness, and elevated heart rate even with minimal exertion, it is important to further evaluate the underlying cause. Considering your conditions and symptoms, I recommend you consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, to help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking **Metoprolol** at a starting dose of 25mg once daily. This medication can help lower your heart rate and reduce palpitations. It is crucial to monitor your heart rate regularly and keep a record to share with your healthcare provider for a more accurate assessment and management plan.
