I'm feeling a bit worried because I've had this pain in the middle of my chest, and when I got an ECG, it showed an abnormal Q wave in lead 3. It's the same result as a year ago when I had an ECG and then went through a TMT and an echo which both came back normal. Should I be getting another echo and TMT done now, or is it okay to hold off? Any guidance would be really helpful.

Based on your history of chest pain and abnormal q wave in lead 3 on ECG, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health. Since your previous TMT and echo were normal, it is reassuring. However, given the persistent abnormal q wave on ECG, it would be advisable to repeat the TMT and echo to ensure there have been no changes in your heart function. I recommend you to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss the need for repeating the tests.

View allI'm really worried about my dad's blood pressure. It was high at 160110 before, but after he started taking Metocard XL 25 and Triolmesar 20 for about a month, it's dropped to 8772, measured with a digital Omron monitor. Do you think he should keep taking his current medication or adjust the dose? Also, he's diabetic and taking Glyciphage SR 500 and Tenlimac 20. Plus, he's being treated for prostate issues with Maxvoid 8. Could all these medications be affecting his blood pressure too much? What would be the best course of action?
Given the significant drop in blood pressure from 160110 to 8772, it is important to reassess the medication regimen. In this case, it is advisable to consult with your father's healthcare provider to adjust the dosage or possibly consider discontinuing one of the antihypertensive medications. Lowering the dose of Metocard XL 25 or Triolmesar 20 may be necessary to prevent hypotension, especially considering his current blood pressure readings. Regular monitoring and coordination with his healthcare provider are essential to ensure optimal management of his hypertension while taking into account his diabetes and prostate issues.

Which salt is better for high blood pressure?
Try to avoid table salt specifically in raw form. Better to go for Himalayan salt or rock salt instead of it. That cutting down on sodium in your diet is the best way to maintain your BP? Even a small reduction in the sodium in your diet can improve blood pressure by about 5 to 6 mm Hg.
