I'm a 33-year-old guy who hits the gym pretty regularly. I had my blood pressure checked around 2 p.m. and it was 140 over 80. Is that normal? Should I be concerned?

A blood pressure reading of 14080 is slightly elevated. For individuals under 60 years old, the ideal blood pressure is typically considered to be below 12080. Since you are physically active and regularly go to the gym, lifestyle modifications can be the first step in managing your blood pressure. However, if your blood pressure remains consistently elevated, medication may be necessary. I recommend you try to incorporate more cardiovascular exercise and a low-sodium diet into your routine. If needed, you can consider taking medications like Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

View allCan someone explain what's going on with my mom's ECG report? The doctor said it's abnormal, and we need to do a TMT test in a month. They've given us some meds, but I really want to understand what's up. Any insights?
While I can't view attachments, an abnormal ECG can indicate several potential issues, such as arrhythmias, ischemia, or abnormalities in the heart's structure. It's important to follow your doctor's recommendation to perform a TMT (treadmill test) as it will provide more information about how your mother's heart functions under physical stress. The prescribed medications are likely aimed at managing her condition in the meantime. Please ensure she follows her treatment plan and consults her healthcare provider if any new symptoms arise.

I'm a bit worried because I accidentally took Prolomet R 50 for the second time tonight. Should I also be taking Ecosprin to counteract any potential effects or just wait it out? I'm not sure what to do next.
Taking an extra dose of Prolomet R 50 (Metoprolol) can lead to low blood pressure and heart rate. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate closely. As for taking Ecosprin (Aspirin) along with Prolomet R 50, it is generally safe to take them together as prescribed by your doctor. However, it is always best to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
