I'm monitoring my blood pressure with an Omron machine, and it reads 100140, but my pulse is normal. I heard that blood pressure can stay high in winter. Should I think about consulting a doctor for this?

Seasonal changes can indeed affect blood pressure levels in some individuals. If your blood pressure consistently remains at 140100 mmHg, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation. You can consider taking antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper assessment and personalized treatment plan.

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's 55 and during her recent health check-up, the TMT showed she's mildly positive for inducible ischemia. Her report mentioned that she exercised for 8 minutes, reaching a maximum METS of 10, and her heart rate went from a resting 70 bpm to a max of 164 bpm, which is 99% of her predicted maximum for her age. Plus, her resting BP was 12078 mmHg and it went up to 15090 mmHg. Can you help me understand what all this means and how serious it might be?
tmt report is normal.

I'm a bit worried about the possibility of blockages in my arteries. What tests should I consider if I want to know about blockages at all levels, even if they're just in the early stages? Could you explain what those tests involve and how accurate they are?

I'm trying to understand what's included in an angiogram report. I received a printed report, but later found out there should also be a CD provided as evidence. When I asked the hospital about it, they gave me one, but only after charging me. I'm worried why they didn't give it to me initially. Is there something fishy going on? Shouldn't they provide the CD in case I need to get a second opinion from another doctor?
In an angiogram report, the findings typically include details about the blood vessels in the heart, any blockages or narrowing, and the overall condition of the heart. The report may also mention the presence of any plaques or clots. As for the CD with images, it usually contains visual images of the angiogram procedure for further reference or consultation with other healthcare providers. It is not uncommon for hospitals to charge for providing a CD of medical images, as there may be costs associated with creating and providing this additional documentation. While it is ideal for hospitals to provide all necessary information upfront, sometimes there may be administrative reasons for not including the CD initially. If you have concerns about the process or the completeness of the information provided, it is best to directly discuss this with the hospital or healthcare provider who conducted the angiogram. They should be able to address any questions or issues you may have regarding the report and CD.
