I'm looking at my mom's ECG and echo reports, and I'm kind of worried. The ECG mentions poor R wave progression from V1 to V3, and the echo report says she has grade 1 left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. I'm not sure what that means. The thing is, she doesn't have any heart issue symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. Could you help me understand what these findings imply?

I've been dealing with anxiety since the pandemic started, and it's been causing my blood pressure to creep up to around 140100. I was on Metasartan 25mg for a while but stopped it following my doctor's advice. All my heart-related tests like TMT, ECHO, ECG, and Troponin have come back normal. I checked my blood pressure a couple of weeks ago over four days, and it was 13084, 10282, 12485, and 12082. This was after stopping the BP meds. Are these readings normal, and should I be worried? My TSH is 2, lipid total is 197, LDL is 124, triglycerides are 244, and HDL is 37. There's no family history of heart issues, and all the elders in my family are pretty healthy, with many living past 70. What do you think?

It is good that your TMT, ECHO, ECG, and Troponin tests were normal. Your blood pressure readings seem to be within an acceptable range, although it is important to monitor them regularly. Considering your lipid profile, you may benefit from lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise to improve your lipid levels. In addition, since you have a history of anxiety disorder, managing stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques or therapy may also help in controlling your blood pressure. If your blood pressure continues to fluctuate or if you have any concerning symptoms, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm having some mild shortness of breath along with chest tightness and a bit of back pain that spreads to my neck. I've done tests like ECG, echo, TMT, chest X-ray, diabetes checks, and PFT, and all came back normal, but my cholesterol was high. I'm taking Rosuvas for that and also Amlodipine for high blood pressure. My weight is 110 kg, and my BP is 14090. Should I be getting any more tests or changing my meds? I'm also in the process of trying to lose weight. What do you think?

I'm experiencing something strange after starting my TB medication. My heart beats really fast while I'm sleeping and even after I wake up. I don't have shortness of breath, just a persistent headache, and it's really bothering me because it's affecting my sleep. There's no cough either, just this constant headache and rapid heartbeat throughout the day. My blood pressure is around 13070. What could be causing these symptoms?

Continue same treatment as advised by the physician.
