I'm a 28-year-old male and I've noticed that for the past 6 months, my resting heart rate has consistently been over 100, sometimes getting up to 120. I'm really wondering if this is something normal or if I should be concerned about it. Is this something I need to get checked out?

View allI'm 20 and was diagnosed with hypertension a couple of years back. With the chaos of COVID, my schedule was kind of all over the place, so I ended up taking my blood pressure meds around 2 in the afternoon. Whenever I check, my BP seems to hover around 13080 or 85. Is this considered controlled? Also, is it okay for me to start taking my BP meds after breakfast instead? I've always been under the impression that the effects of these pills only last about 12 hours, and then my BP might rise after that. I'm also undergoing psychiatric treatment and currently on metoprolol and amlodipine since my doctor stopped the telmisartan when COVID hit. Could you help me out here?
Your blood pressure reading of 13080-85 is within the normal range, but it is on the higher side of normal. To further control your blood pressure, you can consider taking your medications in the morning after breakfast. Metoprolol and amlodipine are commonly used to treat hypertension. You can take Metoprolol 50mg once daily in the morning after breakfast and Amlodipine 5mg once daily in the morning after breakfast as well. These medications work effectively to help lower your blood pressure throughout the day. It's important to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for any adjustments in your treatment plan. Additionally, make sure to adhere to a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, to further support your blood pressure control.

I'm really concerned about this report I got saying there's an "abnormal ECG" with an "SCT wave abnormality" and something about "considering inferior ischemia." I'm an ASD device patient, and I'm not sure what all this means for me. Could you help explain it and let me know if I should be worried?

My blood pressure has been pretty high recently, and I'm trying to figure out what could be causing it. Are there certain foods or habits I should avoid to help get it under control? Like, how long would it typically take to see a difference if I make changes to my diet and lifestyle? Im really hoping to get it down in a matter of weeks if possible.
High blood pressure (BP) can be caused by factors like genetics, obesity, physical inactivity, smoking, excessive sodium intake, stress, and certain medications. To lower BP in weeks, focus on lifestyle changes: exercise regularly (aim for 30 minutesday), reduce sodium intake (
