Question 1

I'm curious about why my blood pressure spikes to 180100 during times of aggression, while it's usually around 11080 or 12080 when I'm calm. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, and my echo, ECG, and TMT results are normal. My lipid profile shows LDL at 60, HDL at 37, and total cholesterol at 110. Is there any underlying pathological condition that could be causing these blood pressure fluctuations?

Accepted Answer

Aggression or stress can indeed cause a temporary spike in blood pressure. Since your heart tests and lipid profile are normal, the elevated blood pressure may be due to situational factors. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consider lifestyle modifications. In case of persistent high blood pressure, your doctor may prescribe medications like Amlodipine 5mg or Losartan 50mg to help keep it under control.

Question 2

I'm really concerned because my heart pumping has reduced to 30. Is it better to start on medication right away or should I consider other treatments? Also, could yoga be an effective option for dealing with this issue? I could really use some guidan...

Accepted Answer

Heart pumping reduce to 30% can be a serious condition and may require medical intervention. To improve heart function and manage symptoms, I would recommend starting with medication such as Carvedilol at a dosage of 6.25mg twice daily, along with Lisinopril at a dosage of 10mg once daily. These medications can help improve heart function and reduce strain on the heart. In addition to medication, regular exercise, such as yoga, can also be beneficial. Yoga can help reduce stress, improve circulation, and strengthen the heart muscles. Poses such as the Mountain Pose, Warrior Pose, and Bridge Pose can be particularly helpful. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise regimen to ensure it is safe for your condition.

Question 5

I'm 50 years old and was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse at 18, but there's no blood regurgitation according to my echocardiogram. I checked with a doctor about 8 years ago, and they said it's not something to worry about. Should I mention this ...

Accepted Answer

An ECG report indicating sinus rhythm, normal axis, and T and ST wave abnormalities suggests potential cardiac issues. While not necessarily serious, it requires further evaluation. Consider:

Next Steps

1. Consult a cardiologist for interpretation and guidance.
2. Additional tests: Holter monitor, echocardiogram, or stress test.
3. Review medical history and medications.
