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.

I've just had a 2D echo because I was experiencing chest pain, and I'm currently breastfeeding. Could you take a look at the results? I'm really worried about whether mild TR is something to be concerned about. Would love your insight on this situation.

Mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common finding in many people and is often not a cause for concern. However, since you are experiencing chest pain and are a breastfeeding mother, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for chest pain relief.
