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 dealing with Celiac Disease and mild Asthma, and I'm a bit concerned about my recent blood and echo test results. The tests showed that my total cholesterol is at 2212, and there's a mention of mild LVH with Grade 1 LVDD. It got me worried about whether I'm at risk of any heart problems. Could you help me understand these results and what they might mean for my heart health?
Based on your test results, your total cholesterol level is 221 which is slightly elevated. For mild LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) and Grade 1 LVDD (Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction), it is important to manage your conditions to prevent any further complications. For your cholesterol level, you can consider taking a statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. For mild LVH and LVDD, it is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. They may recommend medications such as Lisinopril 10mg once daily to help with your heart condition. It is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, to support your overall health and well-being.

I'm feeling really anxious because I've been having some breathlessness and gastric issues. I had an ECG done and it showed sinus tachycardia along with a small inferior wave. The report mentioned something about a borderline ECG and that an infarct can't be excluded. The doctor said the ECG's normal and there's nothing to worry about if the acidity improves. But I'm still a bit concerned. Should I be worried about the sinus tachycardia or the possibility of an infarct? Are there any other tests I should consider?
"Based on your ECG report showing sinus tachycardia with a small inferior wave, along with concerns about borderline ECG and the possibility of infarct not being excluded, it is important to further evaluate your cardiac health. Sinus tachycardia is often a normal response to various factors such as stress, anxiety, or caffeine intake. However, in some cases, it can be related to underlying heart conditions. To assess the situation further, I recommend additional tests such as a cardiac enzyme test to rule out any potential heart damage, a stress test to evaluate your heart's function under exertion, and possibly a coronary angiography to assess the blood flow to your heart. These tests will provide more information about your heart health and help determine if any further treatment or monitoring is necessary. In the meantime, managing your gastric symptoms and acidity is important. You can take medications like omeprazole for acidity relief. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as avoiding spicy foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down after eating can help alleviate gastric issues. It's essential to follow up with your doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and to discuss the results of these additional tests."
