I'm a bit concerned about my dad's blood pressure readings. He's 61 and has high blood pressure, so he's been on medication. Recently, during a check-up, his readings were 90 and 126. But here's the thing thats puzzling me his blood pressure was higher in his right arm than his left by about 10 points. I'm really curious about what could cause this difference. Is it something we should be worried about?

This difference in blood pressure between arms is known as inter-arm blood pressure difference. It can be caused by various factors such as differences in blood vessel stiffness, blockages, or narrowing in the arteries of one arm compared to the other. It can also be due to conditions like atherosclerosis or peripheral artery disease. To address this issue, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In terms of medication, he can continue taking his high blood pressure medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help control his blood pressure levels.

View allI'm monitoring my blood pressure, and it's been around 15595 for the past three days. I've been feeling a slight sensitive vibration in my head, too. This is the first time my blood pressure has been high like this, and I haven't taken any medication before. What would you recommend I do? Is there a specific tablet I should consider?

I'm having this pain that comes and goes around my chest and shoulder area, but it's mostly around my heart. I've been really stressed out these past couple of weeks and I'm worried about what it could be. I had an ECG and a chest X-ray done at a diagnostic center, and there were no issues found. I'm 28 years old and weigh 81 kilos. Could you suggest any medicine for pain relief, or do you think I should be looking into something else? I'm actually quite puzzled about what's going on.

Hey, I've got my mom's ECG report here and I'm a bit worried. She's 55 and was dealing with some pretty high blood pressure at 200100. She's been taking Tritelsar 80 as prescribed, and her blood pressure's come down to 13090, which is great. But, I'm still concerned about whether this is something serious or life-threatening? She's also been working really hard on getting healthier over the past year by doing brisk walking, yoga, basic workouts, and she's cut back on salt in her diet too. Could you help me understand the ECG report a bit?
The ECG report shows sinus rhythm with no significant abnormalities. Given your mother's history of hypertension, it is important to continue monitoring her blood pressure regularly. Tritelsar 80 hs is a good choice to help control her blood pressure. It is important for her to continue with her current lifestyle modifications such as exercise, yoga, and a low-salt diet. There is no indication of a worrisome or life-threatening disease based on the ECG report. However, it is essential to follow up with her doctor regularly to ensure her blood pressure remains controlled and to address any concerns. In summary, continue with Tritelsar 80 hs as prescribed by the doctor, monitor blood pressure regularly, and maintain a healthy lifestyle with exercise and a low-salt diet.
