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 really worried about some recent health issues and could use some advice. I had an angioplasty back in 2013 and also dealt with Covid in August '20. Recently, I had some pain in my left arm, so I went to the cardiologist. The ECG came back normal, but some of my test results are concerning. My homocysteine level is at 44, triglycerides are sitting at 275, but my creatinine and cholesterol are normal. My SGPT is at 46 and B12 is at 218. I'm really anxious because I know the high homocysteine could mean a higher chance of another heart issue. Should I be considering more tests, like angiography, or is there a treatment plan you would suggest? Just hoping to get some peace of mind here.
Based on your history of angioplasty in 2013, recent Covid infection, left arm pain, and abnormal test results (homocysteine at 44, triglycerides at 275, B12 at 218), it is important to further evaluate your cardiac health to determine the best course of treatment. Given your elevated homocysteine levels and previous history of angioplasty, it is advisable to undergo further cardiac evaluation. I recommend that you undergo a coronary angiography to assess the status of your coronary arteries and determine if there is any significant blockage that may require intervention. In addition to the angiography, it would also be beneficial to optimize your lipid profile and homocysteine levels through lifestyle modifications and medications. Your cardiologist may prescribe medications such as Atorvastatin for cholesterol control, Folic Acid supplements for homocysteine reduction, and lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and regular exercise. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is crucial to monitor your progress, adjust medications as needed, and reduce the risk of a second cardiac event. It is important to prioritize your cardiac health and work closely with your healthcare team to manage your risk factors effectively.

I'm curious if it's common to have mild mitral regurgitation. Can I live a normal life with it, or do I need to limit activities like exercise or long travel?
Mild mitral regurgitation usually does not cause any symptoms and does not typically require any restrictions on exercise or travel. You can continue to live a normal life without any limitations. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the condition and ensure it does not worsen.

I had bypass surgery 7 years ago but now I'm having chest pain again could it be related to my past surgery or something new happening? What should I do about it?
Chest pain after bypass surgery, even years later, can be a cause for concern and warrants medical evaluation. It could be related to the surgery, such as graft narrowing, or due to new heart issues. Don't ignore the pain; consult your doctor immediately to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
