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?

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.

View allI'm having some trouble with my blood pressureit keeps staying high around 160111 and 155100 even after I've taken my medication. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and what I can do about it?
High blood pressure can be a serious condition if not properly controlled. I recommend you start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, you can also add Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name Microzide) 12.5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent stress test result which showed mildly positive for provcable myocardial ischaemia. I'm not fully sure what this means and I'm worried about what it might mean for my heart health. Could you help me understand this a bit better and maybe suggest what preventive or corrective steps I should be looking into? I just want to make sure I'm taking care of myself in the best way possible.
Stress test showing "Mildly Positive for Provicable Myocardial Ischaemia" indicates a potential issue with blood flow to the heart during physical activity. To address this, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management. Additionally, medication therapy may be necessary. You can consider starting with a low-dose aspirin regimen for blood thinning and a statin medication like Atorvastatin to manage cholesterol levels. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with CAD and recently found out from my CT Angio test that there's a 60-70% blockage in my LDA artery. I've been reading up on EECP and Bio Chemical Angioplasty online, and I've talked to some folks who've undergone EECP. I'm trying to figure out if it's actually effective. Also, do you know what medication is used in Bio Chemical Angioplasty? And once I've gone through it, how long can I expect the blockage to stay away?
Yes that procedure is good you can get it done if adviced no problem, recurrence would be on your lifestyle and diet pattern,maintain healthy lifestyle to avoid recurrence
