I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. Normally, it sits around 12090, but every now and then, it'll spike to about 130100, or drop to 10080. It used to be at 10070. I'm trying to find a natural solution and wondering if Ayurveda could help manage this, as I really don't want to be on medication forever. I lead a pretty active lifestyle, and I'm really careful with my diet and regular exercise. What do you think? Is there an alternative approach I could try?

View allI've been checking my blood pressure with a monitor, and every time the cuff gets tighter, I start feeling some chest pressure. It's not super strong, but I definitely notice it, and it happens every time I check. My blood pressure was 12588. I'm also worried because I get chest pains sometimes. What could be causing this?
The sensation of chest pressure when the blood pressure cuff is tightened could be due to increased pressure on the chest wall. However, since you also mentioned that you experience chest pains sometimes, it is important to monitor this closely. With a blood pressure reading of 12588, it is within the prehypertension range. To help manage your blood pressure and chest discomfort, you can take a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about my cholesterol levels. I had really high LDL cholesterol at 293, but after taking medications like Rosuvastatin, changing my diet, and exercising more, my bad cholesterol has apparently gone down to normal. I'm wondering though, since high bad cholesterol is known for causing blockages in arteries, does it mean I'm in the clear now that my levels are normal? Or should I still be worried about any existing blockages?
After reducing your bad cholesterol levels with Roseday 10, diet, and exercise, it is likely that the risk of blockages in your arteries has decreased. However, it is important to continue with a healthy lifestyle to maintain these improvements. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels is also recommended to ensure they stay within a healthy range.

I'm really concerned about my wife. She saw an eye surgeon for her cataract surgery, and he suggested she get an ECG done first. After looking at the ECG results, he recommended an ECHO test. The results came back mostly normal, with no regional wall motion abnormality and normal systolic function at 65%. But it did show mild pulmonary arterial hypertension with an RVSP of 35 mmHg. I'm not sure what this means or if we should be worried. Does she need treatment for this? Could you help us understand the situation a bit better?
