View allI'm 22 years old and my blood pressure is 160100. I know I'm obese, could that be causing the high BP? I'm trying to lose weight now.
your obesity is likely contributing to your high blood pressure (HBP), as excess weight can increase blood vessel resistance, cardiac output, and sodium retention; losing weight through a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes can help lower your BP, aim for a 5-10% weight loss to start

I'm really curious and a bit concerned about something. Can taking the beta blocker metoprolol, especially the Met XL version, lead to higher blood triglyceride levels? If that's the case, is there another beta blocker that might be a better option?
Yes, metoprolol XL can potentially cause an increase in blood triglyceride levels as a side effect. Another beta blocker that may be a better option to consider is Nebivolol (brand name Bystolic) which is less likely to affect lipid levels compared to metoprolol XL. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment option for you.

I'm dealing with both mitral and aortic valve stenosis, plus some leakage, and I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if that's possible. Is there anything that can help me steer clear of needing valve replacement surgery?
Mitral valve stenosis and aortic valve leakage can be managed with medication to help control symptoms and slow down the progression of the condition. For mitral valve stenosis, you can take medications such as diuretics to reduce fluid buildup, beta-blockers to control heart rate, and blood thinners to prevent blood clots. For aortic valve leakage, medications like ACE inhibitors or ARBs can help reduce strain on the heart and improve symptoms. It is important to regularly monitor your condition with your healthcare provider and follow their recommendations for medication dosage and frequency.
