I'm a bit concerned because my systolic blood pressure has been hovering around 130, but I've noticed that my diastolic is consistently above 90 or even 95. I'm really worried about why my diastolic BP is always on the higher side. Could you tell me what kind of tests or investigations might be needed for this?

View allI'm a 54-year-old woman and recently had an episode of atrial fibrillation that corrected itself. Now my echocardiogram shows I have a mild leaky aortic valve with some regurgitation. Should I be worried about this? How serious is it really?
Mild aortic valve regurgitation is generally not a cause for concern and may not require treatment. However, it is important to monitor it regularly to ensure it does not worsen over time. In some cases, medication such as ACE inhibitors or ARBs may be prescribed to help manage symptoms. It is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with heart anxiety since 2011 and had a bunch of tests done back in 2015. Everything seemed normal then but recently, I got an echo done in August that showed mild MRTR grade 1 DD. I also did some ECGs and they showed issues likely because of a fast heart rate or tachycardia. The doctor suggested a stress echo and I went through that last week. Could you take a look at the report? I'm a bit worried because my tests were normal in 2015 and now there's something going on. What do you think?
You have a history of heart anxiety since 2011 and have undergone multiple tests, including an echo in August which showed mild mitral regurgitationtricuspid regurgitation grade 1 and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. After experiencing issues with fast heart rate tachycardia on recent ECGs, your doctor suggested a stress echo which you have completed. It would be helpful to review the report to provide a more accurate recommendation. Please provide the details of the stress echo report for further evaluation.

I'm really worried after my mom's health check-up today. Her blood pressure was really hightwice it was 18090 and the third time was 17090. We're going to get the full health report by Wednesday, but I'm anxious. Do you think she might need to start taking medicine right away?
The symptoms you're experiencing, such as lightheadedness, spinning sensation, and vomiting, could be related to various factors. Considering your recent changes in diet and daily workouts, here are a few potential causes: *Potential Causes* 1. *Low Blood Sugar*: With your new diet, you might be experiencing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), leading to lightheadedness and dizziness. 2. *Dehydration*: Insufficient fluid intake, especially during workouts, can cause dehydration, resulting in dizziness and lightheadedness. 3. *Electrolyte Imbalance*: Your new diet might be lacking essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, or magnesium, which can disrupt your body's balance and cause dizziness. 4. *Inner Ear Issues*: The spinning sensation could be related to inner ear problems, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a Doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to rule out any underlying medical conditions. 2. *Monitor Blood Sugar*: If you're experiencing low blood sugar, consider monitoring your blood sugar levels and adjusting your diet accordingly. 3. *Stay Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially during and after workouts. 4. *Balance Your Diet*: Ensure you're getting essential electrolytes and nutrients through your diet or consider supplements after consulting your doctor. 5. *Rest and Recovery*: Allow your body time to recover between workouts, and prioritize getting enough sleep.
