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'm really worried about my dad. He's 73 years old and his recent 2D echo report showed an LVEF of 50 percent, no MR, no TR, and a paradoxical IVS. How serious is this situation and is there anything we can do to improve it? Should we be thinking about getting more tests done?
My father 73 years old his 2Decho report says LVEF 50 percent, no MR no TR, paradoxical IVS. How critical it and and how it can be improved. Any further investigation required? LVEF of 50% indicates a slightly reduced heart function, which may increase the risk of heart-related issues. The paradoxical IVS refers to an abnormal movement of the interventricular septum during the cardiac cycle. To improve the condition and prevent further complications, medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5mg daily and beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg daily can be prescribed. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and stress management can help. Further investigation may include a stress test or coronary angiography to assess coronary artery disease.

I'm a bit concerned about my husband. We checked his blood pressure yesterday, and it was 13392 with a heart rate of 82. Hes not really having any major problems, but lately, he sometimes feels a burning sensation in his chest and a very minor, frequent pain. He does exercise regularly. He's 33 years old now, and about two years ago, his BP was 12080, then last year it was 13080. Do you think we should be worried or get some tests done?
The blood pressure reading of 13392 is slightly elevated, especially the diastolic pressure of 92. Given the history of occasional burning in the chest and minor frequent pain, it would be advisable for your husband to undergo a thorough evaluation. I recommend he consult with a healthcare provider for further assessment. It would be beneficial to perform tests such as an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to assess heart function, as well as blood tests to check for any underlying conditions such as cholesterol levels or thyroid function. Additionally, a stress test may be considered to evaluate his heart's response to physical activity. In the meantime, it is important to continue with regular exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I'm a 39-year-old guy and I used to do a lot of sports about 20 years ago. Last May, I had an angiogram that showed a myocardial bridge in my mid LAD, causing 30% systolic narrowing. The doctor said it's nothing serious and pretty normal, but sometimes I still get chest pain and it even goes down my left arm. This pain usually kicks in during the evening and can last through the night. It's weird because it happens in phases, like I'll have it for about 10 days, then it'll disappear for a month or so, only to come back again. I went to see a gastroenterologist too and they think I might have GERD. I had an upper GI endoscopy and they found an H. Pylori infection, so they put me on pantoprazole. That helped a bit, but I still get the chest pain sometimes. I'm anxious a lot, and the doctors mentioned that might be making both the pain and the GERD worse. The heart doctors say the angiogram was normal and that's the gold standard, so they're not worried. I've started exercising, doing yoga, changed my diet, and managed to lose about 5kg. I even cut down on smoking to just one cigarette a day. What do you think might be going on here with this recurring pain?
You are doing great and no need to worry continue the same and have a regular follow up with your doctor
