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?

View allMy 58-year-old husband was diagnosed with severe concentric LV hypertrophy. The doctor mentioned surgery, but we're wondering if medications and lifestyle changes could help improve his condition instead. Is surgery really the only option, or can his heart health get better with other treatments?
While severe concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) may sometimes require surgery, it's not always the only option. Medications and lifestyle changes can be effective in managing the condition and potentially improving heart health. The best approach depends on the cause and severity of the LVH.

My mom recently had a TMT test, and it showed a mild positive for inducible ischemia. The thing is, she didnt feel any pain or discomfort during the test. The doctor suggested we should go for an angiogram, but she's planning to go abroad for six months. Is it okay if we wait and do the angio after she comes back? Should we be concerned about waiting that long?
It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the timing of the angiogram. However, in cases of mild positive inducible ischemia without symptoms, it may be possible to wait for 6 months before undergoing the angiogram. It is important to monitor your mother's symptoms and follow up with her doctor regularly during this time. If any new symptoms develop or if there are any changes in her health status, it is important to consult with her doctor earlier.
