I'm dealing with high blood pressure, around 12090 most of the time, and I've got hyper acidity too. Whenever I get that acidity feeling, it seems like my BP shoots up, and I also have GERD. A doctor said I have LV hypertrophy but my echo test came back normal. What kind of treatments would you recommend for this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It sounds like your high BP and acidity are connected, as stress from GERD and acidity can worsen hypertension. It's important to manage both with lifestyle changes, like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and medications as prescribed. For better control, consider antacids or PPIs for acidity, and BP medication to manage your levels. Regular follow-ups with your doctor are essential to monitor your heart and BP.

View allI'm feeling a bit worried because for the past four days, I've been taking Monotrate 10mg and have noticed an irregular heartbeat. It seems to be getting better with the medication, but it's still there. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will resolve as I continue with the Monotrate? What should I do next?

I'm really concerned about my husband's heart; his heartbeat is always too fast. He says it's been like this since he was a child. Should I be worried about this?
Hi, if your husband's heart rate is consistently fast, it is important to have him evaluated by a doctor to determine the underlying cause. One common condition that can cause a fast heart rate is supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Medications like Metoprolol (25-100mg) can be prescribed to help control the heart rate. However, a proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

I've been having these sudden blackout episodes lately, and it's a bit worrying. Sometimes when I stand up too quickly, everything just goes dark for a few seconds. Just the other night, I got out of bed to use the bathroom and suddenly felt like I was going to vomit, then I blacked out and collapsed for a moment. Do you know why this might be happening or what I should do about it?
These symptoms could be indicative of orthostatic hypotension, where a sudden drop in blood pressure occurs when changing positions. To help manage this condition, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and slowly changing positions to allow your body to adjust. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Fludrocortisone to help regulate your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan.
