Question 1

I've been dealing with a blood pressure reading of 15498 for the past year, and I'm really trying to convince myself it'll get better naturally, but it just hasn't budged. Do you think there's a way to bring it down to a normal range?

Accepted Answer

Consistently high blood pressure like yours may require medication to bring it under control and reduce the risk of complications. I recommend you start taking a medication like Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) at a starting dose of 5mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for proper evaluation and monitoring of your blood pressure.

Question 2

I'm really worried because I was just sitting and out of nowhere, I felt a shock in my chest. My legs suddenly went cold, and I started vomiting something that tasted like acid. I have all my reports with me. Does this sound like something serious?

Accepted Answer

Sudden sensations of a shock in the heart, cold legs, and vomiting acid are concerning symptoms that should be promptly evaluated by a healthcare provider. While your recent 2D echo, TMT, and chest X-ray are normal, the acute nature of these symptoms, especially the feeling of a heart shock and cold legs, could indicate a serious condition such as a cardiac event or a severe gastrointestinal issue like a stomach acid reflux or esophageal spasm. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention to rule out any potentially serious conditions. Your healthcare provider may recommend additional diagnostic tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) if not already done, blood tests, or an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to determine the cause of your symptoms.

Question 3

I've been dealing with high blood pressure for a while now. Lately, its been making me feel pretty lazy and I've been getting these annoying headaches. Who do you think I should reach out to for help with this?
