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've been dealing with some annoying symptoms lately like this slight headache, stiff muscles around my neck, facial pain, and just feeling really tired all the time. I started taking some meds initially like amchek 5mg, then switched to amlong 5, and now I'm on omlesar 10 with nebicard 2.5mg. But for a few weeks, I stopped them, and yesterday my blood pressure shot up to 190138. So I got back on just omlesar, but my blood pressure is still pretty high at 180104. What should I do?
It seems like you are experiencing high blood pressure despite restarting omlesar. In this case, you may benefit from adding another medication to better control your blood pressure. I recommend adding a diuretic such as Lasix (furosemide) 40mg to help reduce the fluid in your body and lower your blood pressure. Please consult your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and prescription of this medication. Additionally, it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a low-sodium diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques to help manage your blood pressure.

I'm Rao, 29, working in IT support in Chennai. I recently got an ECG report with some concerning results: Sinus Rhythm, Left Atrial Enlargement, RSR pattern in V1-V2, slight ST depression, and mild left axis deviation. Should I be worried about these findings? Can they be managed with mild medication or meditation, or is something more serious going on? Would really appreciate your insights.
based on the ECG report results you provided, it shows that you have Sinus Rhythm, Left Atrial Enlargement, RSR Pattern in V1V2, Slight ST Depression, and Mild Left Axis Deviation. For the Left Atrial Enlargement, you may consider taking medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help with the condition. For the Slight ST Depression, you can try medication like Aspirin 75mg once daily to manage it. For the Mild Left Axis Deviation, there is no specific medication needed, but regular monitoring by your healthcare provider is recommended. In addition to medication, incorporating meditation and stress-reducing techniques into your daily routine can also be beneficial for your overall heart health. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. Take care, and best regards.
