I'm experiencing some issues and I'm pretty worried. I've been diagnosed with hypertension and I'm also noticing my hands are trembling quite a bit. Can you tell me what steps I should take or any advice on how to manage these? I would really appreciate your help.

For hypertension and hand tremors, you can start by taking Atenolol 25mg once daily for hypertension. Additionally, you can take Propranolol 10mg twice daily for hand tremors. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for any adjustments in your treatment plan.

View allI've noticed that my heart rate tends to go up to 130 when I'm feeling anxious, and I recently had an echo done. Thankfully, the report was normal, but it did show Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction with an ejection fraction of 54. I'm curious, can anxiety-induced high heart rate affect the echo results? Also, could these findings indicate any valvular disease?
High heart rate can affect certain echo parameters, but in your case, with a heart rate of 130 due to anxiety, the echo report came back normal. Valvular diseases can still be detected even with a high heart rate. In your case, the echo report showed Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction and an ejection fraction of 54%. To further evaluate any valvular disease, you may need additional tests such as a Doppler echocardiogram. No specific medication is needed for Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, but it's important to manage any underlying conditions contributing to it.

I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 78 over 140 is normal or if its on the high side. Should my dad see a doctor or maybe start some medication? Just to mention, he was feeling a bit under the weather with a common cold when the doctor measured this.
A blood pressure reading of 14078 is considered elevated and may indicate hypertension. It is advisable for your father to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. Depending on the assessment, the doctor may prescribe medications such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower the blood pressure. It is important to follow up with the doctor for monitoring and adjustment of the treatment plan as needed.
