I'm a 29-year-old male and I've just got my blood pressure checked and it's 140100. Honestly, I dont feel any symptoms like having high blood pressure, but I thought I would look into it further. I did a lipid profile test as well, and here are the results: total cholesterol is 244, HDL is 54, LDL is 146, VLDL is 44, and triglycerides are 232. Am I in a position where I should consider starting medication for this? I'm kind of worried and I'd appreciate any advice you can give.

Based on your blood pressure reading and lipid profile results, it is important to take steps to manage your cardiovascular health. With your age and lipid profile results, it is advisable to start medication to help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. I recommend starting a statin medication such as Atorvastatin to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider starting an antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine to help manage your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring of your blood pressure and cholesterol levels while on these medications. Making lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking can also greatly benefit your cardiovascular health.

View allI'm 32 and just got my TMT test results back. It mentions VPC during exercise and after, and a positive chronotropic response. There's also a 1mm downsloping ST depression at peak exercise but it's normal at 3 min recovery. Should I be worried about any of this? Do I need to take any medication? I'd really appreciate some guidance.
TMT report suggests a negative TMT with VPC seen during exercise and at recovery of the test, along with a positive chronotropic response. The 1mm downsloping ST depression at the peak of exercise, which normalizes at 3 minutes of recovery, is also noted. Based on this report, there is no significant worrying problem identified. However, considering the findings, it would be advisable to start medication to manage the VPC and ST depression. You can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce the occurrence of VPCs. Additionally, you can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent any potential clot formation due to the ST depression observed during exercise. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I sometimes feel like there's an extra heartbeat in my chest, especially when I bend down. Could this be related to my mild tricuspid regurgitation? I'm really worried about it.
Yes, palpitations can be related to mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR). To help manage your symptoms, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-50mg once daily. This can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the sensation of extra heartbeats. Remember to consult your doctor for proper evaluation and management.
