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 allHey, I'm really puzzled by my dad's ECG test results, and I'm hoping you can shed some light on it for me. He's 66 and the report mentions something about a "sinus rhythm" and "suspect inferior myocardial infarction." There's also a note on "right axis deviation." Should I be concerned about these findings? What do these terms mean for his heart health? I'd appreciate your help in understanding what all this technical stuff means.
Probable differential diagnosis include right axis deviation and myocardial infarction.. Ecg and cardiac markers advised and cardiac opinion..

I'm really worried about my dad. His heart's ejection fraction is only 20, and the doctor mentioned that means his heart's power is at 20. He's been on medication for the last three months, but I'm curious to know what kind of treatment might be next. Also, are there any specific precautions he should be taking right now? I'm just trying to figure out how to best support him through this.
Ejection fraction of the heart is very low , causes would be heart attack,cardiomyopathy,coronary artery disease, high blood pressure,aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitatin,myocarditis,arrhythmia etc , u can continue the same medications . An echocardiogram is advised and a cardiac opinion.

I'm feeling a bit concerned. I had an angioplasty with a stent placed and went for a follow-up after 7 days like the doctor suggested. But now I'm feeling this weird pricking sensation and some discomfort. Is that kind of pricking feeling normal after you get a stent placed?
yes .
