I'm 21 and I've noticed my pulse rate is higher than usual, but my ECG came out normal. Should I be worried about this, and what kind of treatment should I be looking at?

Your pulse rate is too high. At your age of 21 with a normal ECG, a high pulse rate could be due to various reasons such as anxiety, stress, dehydration, or certain medications. To lower your pulse rate, you can try relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, yoga, or meditation. It is also important to stay hydrated and avoid stimulants like caffeine. If the high pulse rate persists, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a dose of 25-50mg once daily, but it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication.

I'm really worried because my wife's blood pressure is really low, and she's in a critical condition right now. Can you suggest some medicine that I can give her to help stabilize it? Any advice would be appreciated.

Low blood pressure, also known as hypotension, can be a serious condition. It is important to seek medical help immediately if your wife is in a critical condition due to low blood pressure. In the meantime, you can give her oral rehydration solutions to help maintain her fluid and electrolyte balance. Additionally, you can consider using Fludrocortisone at a dosage of 0.1-0.2 mg daily to help raise her blood pressure. However, please remember that these are temporary measures and she should still seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Can someone actually survive a blood pressure reading of 250 over 150 for a couple of hours? And what's the highest blood pressure our blood vessels can handle before it becomes too dangerous?

A blood pressure of 250150 is extremely high and can be life-threatening. Sustained high blood pressure can lead to serious complications such as stroke, heart attack, or kidney failure. It is important to seek immediate medical attention if you or someone else is experiencing such high blood pressure. The maximum blood pressure that blood vessels can typically withstand is around 220120. Beyond this range, the blood vessels are at risk of damage and the organs may not receive adequate blood supply. It is crucial to keep blood pressure within normal limits to maintain good health and prevent complications.
