I'm 22 and my resting heart rate is 112. Is this something I should be worried about? I haven't had any cholesterol or high blood pressure issues, and there aren't any heart problems in my past either.

View allI'm really worried about my dad's blood pressure. It's been 18090 even after I checked it twice, and then an hour later, it was 15088. He always brushes off his health issues, and I don't know how to help him keep his heart rate and blood pressure normal. What should I do?
High blood pressure can lead to serious health issues, so it's important to manage it properly. Here are some steps you can take to help maintain his blood pressure. Encourage him to follow a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. This can help lower blood pressure. You can also recommend the use of a salt substitute like LoSalt. Regular exercise is important for managing blood pressure. Encourage him to engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Stress management techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga can help lower blood pressure. Ensure he is taking his medications regularly if prescribed by a doctor. Common medications for high blood pressure include Amlodipine 5mg and Losartan 50mg. Encourage him to limit alcohol intake and quit smoking if he does. Regular monitoring of blood pressure at home and keeping a record of readings can help track progress and identify any patterns. Remember, these are general recommendations and it's important for your father to follow up with his healthcare provider for personalized advice and treatment.

I'm worried because my blood pressure has been 14090 for the past 20 days, and I've started having mild chest pain. I've done all the heart-related tests like ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. Should I be taking blood pressure medicine? My doctor hasn't prescribed anything for it yet, but I'm thinking maybe I should start at least for a few days. I weigh 110 kg, and my doctor only put me on cholesterol medication since my cholesterol is high. What do you think about starting bp medicine?
Your blood pressure reading of 14090 mmHg falls into the category of Stage 1 Hypertension according to most guidelines Since your heart-related tests (ECG, ECHO, TMT) are normal, and your doctor has not prescribed blood pressure (BP) medication, they may believe that your condition can initially be managed with lifestyle changes and monitoring. However, your weight (110 kg) and high cholesterol are additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and managing your blood pressure is crucial.

I've been noticing something strangewhen I'm lying in bed, I can actually feel my heartbeat, and while my heart rate seems normal, my body feels like it's shaking a bit with each beat. I got my echocardiogram results, and it shows a myxomatous mitral valve with mild MR, with measurements of LV ID at 5.7 cm and 3.8 cm, IVSd at 0.8 cm, LVPWd at 0.8 cm, and an EF of 60%. The doctor mentioned my left ventricle is slightly enlarged but not dangerous. But here's the thingwhen I stand up quickly from lying down, I get really dizzy. Could you explain what might be going on and what I should do about it?
When you suddenly stand from a lying position and feel dizzy, it could be due to a drop in blood pressure known as orthostatic hypotension. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and slowly transitioning from lying to standing positions. Additionally, you may benefit from medications such as Fludrocortisone to help increase blood volume and improve blood pressure regulation. It is important to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best course of action based on your individual health needs.
