I'm a 67-year-old who's been taking Revelol XL 50, but my blood pressure numbers always seem to hang around 15090. I've decided to switch to Concor 5 in hopes of getting them down to 12080. Is this a good move, and could you explain what I might expect during this transition?

View allI've just gotten back from a routine medical checkup, and my report mentions something called Partial RBBB. The clinic said it's nothing to worry about, but I'm still feeling a bit uneasy. Should I be doing any further tests or follow-ups for this? Would love to know what you think.

I'm really confused about my ECG results. It said there was a downslope in the ST segment and T wave inversion, and they mentioned something about infero-lateral ischaemia. When I went for a pre-employment medical exam, I had an echocardiogram and a color Doppler test, and the doctor said not to worry but didn't prescribe any medication. I'm not sure what to do next. Is there actually ischaemia, or is everything okay?
the ST segment downslope and T wave inversion indicate infero lateral Ischaemia. Since you have already undergone an ECHOCARDIOGRAM and color Doppler test, and the doctor mentioned that there is nothing to worry about, it is likely that the Ischaemia is not severe and does not require immediate medication. However, it is important to follow up with regular check-ups to monitor your heart health. If you experience any symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned after reading my eco report, and I need some clarity on a few things. It mentions "normal cardiac chamber" but then there's "concentric LVH grade lLVDD." What does that mean exactly? Also, it says "trivial MR" and "trivial AR"are these something I should be worried about? There's mention of "NO RWMA," which I'm assuming is a good thing, right? And it states "normal biventricular" function, but then what's "distolic function LVEF60"? Is that normal? Lastly, there's "NO IC clot VEGPE intact IAS IVS"so does this mean everything's okay overall? I'd really appreciate your insights.
Based on the eco report provided, the findings indicate normal cardiac chambers with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and grade 1 left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). There is trivial mitral regurgitation (MR) and trivial aortic regurgitation (AR) present. There are no regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) noted. The biventricular and diastolic functions are normal with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 60%. There are no intracardiac clots, vegetations (VEG), or pulmonary embolism (PE) observed. The interatrial septum (IAS) and interventricular septum (IVS) are intact. Based on the findings, no specific treatment is required at this point. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor any changes in your cardiac health.
