I'm a bit worried because I've been checking my blood pressure at home for the last couple of days, and its been around 13585. Its usually about 12075 with the Telma 40 I'm taking, which I started after having COVID. I also had my wisdom tooth taken out a couple of days ago. Is this spike in my blood pressure something I should be concerned about?

It is normal for blood pressure to fluctuate, especially after a dental procedure like wisdom tooth extraction. However, since your blood pressure readings have been consistently higher for the past two days, it is important to monitor it closely. In this situation, it would be advisable to consult your doctor to discuss the possibility of adjusting your medication dosage or considering additional treatment options. In the meantime, you can also try to reduce stress, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

View allI've recently had a TMT test done and I'm trying to wrap my head around the results. The test summary says Total Time is 631, Max HR Attained is 184 bpm, and it's 96% of my target, which is 191. It also mentions Max BP is 190100 and Max workload is 7.6 with Bruce Protocol. My doctor said everything looks fine and that I shouldn't worry, but I just want to make sure all these values are normal. Could you help me understand if there's anything I should be concerned about or if it's all really okay?

I've been having some weird issues with my heart rate. Like, even when I'm just resting, it's going over 100, and if I take a few steps, it jumps to about 150 and stays like that for 2-3 hours. My blood pressure's kind of off too, hovering around 13080, but sometimes the bottom number goes up to 85 or so. I get tired for no reason, and theres some pain in my left arm and leg if I walk a bit. I also get headaches and find myself out of breath after exercising, though not all the time. I got an ECG done, but I'm not sure what to make of it. Could you help me figure out whats going on or suggest what I should do next?
Based on your symptoms and ECG report, it appears that you may be experiencing tachycardia (fast heart rate) and possible signs of heart disease. The elevated heart rate, fluctuating blood pressure, fatigue, left arm pain, leg pain, headache, and shortness of breath after exercise are concerning symptoms that warrant further evaluation. I recommend that you consult with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. In the meantime, you can start taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, you should make lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, and managing stress to improve your overall cardiovascular health. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further testing and treatment recommendations based on your specific condition.
