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.

Im 35 and have been experiencing chest pain for the past few months. My cardiologist did a full workup and said everything looks normal, but I noticed the echo report mentions grade 1 LV dysfunction. Should I consider seeing another doctor about this?

I've noticed my pulse has been over 100, around 115, for the past two days. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this, and how can I get back to a normal pulse rate?

A pulse rate of over 100 beats per minute is considered to be higher than normal (tachycardia). There are several possible causes for this, including stress, anxiety, dehydration, fever, anemia, thyroid issues, or certain medications. It is important to monitor your pulse rate and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to relax, stay hydrated, and avoid stimulants like caffeine. If the high pulse rate persists or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, please seek medical advice promptly.
