I'm a 46-year-old guy who's a bit on the heavier side. I've always been healthy, but lately, they've told me I've got hypertension. I'm not a fan of allopathic medicine because I'm worried about the long-term side effects. Do you have any natural treatment options for dealing with hypertension?

I had open heart surgery about 11 years ago because there was a hole in my heart. Is it safe for me to start going to the gym and lifting heavy weights now? Would love your advice.

I need some advice on my mom's ECG report. It says she's got a sinus rhythm and something called enlarged PtfV1. What does that mean? Should we be concerned about it?

The ECG report showing sinus rhythm and a large P wave in lead V1 indicates a possible right atrial enlargement. This could be due to various reasons such as pulmonary hypertension, tricuspid valve disease, or chronic lung disease. It is important to correlate this finding with your mother's clinical symptoms and history. There is no need to worry, but it would be advisable to consult a cardiologist for a detailed evaluation and further management. In the meantime, your mother may benefit from medications like Furosemide to reduce fluid retention and workload on the heart, as well as medications like Digoxin to help regulate the heart rate.

I'm feeling really confused and worried. Last year, my echocardiogram showed diastolic dysfunction, but when I did it again this year, it showed everything was fine with no sign of it. I'm trying to understand if diastolic dysfunction can reverse itself? I read online that it usually happens to older people, but I'm not that old and my blood pressure, sugar, and thyroid levels are all normal. Why did this happen to me, and should I be worried about it?

Your present echocardiogram is normal, previous report may reflect your clinical condition on that time. At present your reports are within normal limits.
