I'm Gajendra, and I'm 30. Lately, I've been having trouble with high blood pressure and a fast pulse. What should I do about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For high blood pressure and elevated pulse, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can take medication to help control your blood pressure. I recommend taking "Losartan" at a starting dosage of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper monitoring and adjustment of your treatment plan.

View allI'm a bit concerned because my recent ECG report mentioned LVH. I'm not sure if this is something I need to be really worried about. I don't smoke, but sometimes I get pain in my left thigh, and I've been having some stress-related chest discomfort due to work. Should I start treatment right away for LVH, and are there any specific precautions I should be taking?
LVH, or left ventricular hypertrophy, is a condition where the muscle of the left ventricle of the heart becomes thickened. It can be a serious issue if left untreated, as it can increase the risk of heart problems such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and heart attacks. In your case, it is important to address the underlying causes of LVH. Since you have mentioned occasional pain in your left thigh and stress-related chest discomfort, it is crucial to manage these symptoms and reduce stress levels to prevent further complications. Treatment for LVH may include medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, or calcium channel blockers to help reduce the workload on the heart. Lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding smoking are also important in managing LVH. It is recommended to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to discuss the appropriate treatment plan based on your individual health status and risk factors.

I'm really worried about what to do if a family member, like my mom or dad, ever has chest pain, starts sweating a lot, or has pain in the arm or shoulder. What if they start vomiting too? I mean, in that moment, can I give them aspirin or sorbitrate? And if so, how much should I give? Could you explain how to properly administer it? I'm a bit anxious about this and not really sure about the right steps.
tab sorbitrate 5 mg ,sublingual is advised.
