Question 1

I'm noticing my blood pressure is all over the place, swinging between 11179 and 13389 over the past week. Do you think I should be on medication for this? Also, my lipid profile shows total cholesterol at 202, triglycerides at 237, LDL at 158, and HDL at 34. Should I be worried about these levels?

Accepted Answer

Your blood pressure readings are fluctuating within a borderline range, and considering your lipid profile results, medication may be beneficial to manage both your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I recommend starting with a combination medication like "Caduet" which contains Amlodipine 5mg and Atorvastatin 10mg. You can take 1 tablet daily in the evening. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can also help improve your overall cardiovascular health.

Accepted Answer

High sensitive troponin I level of 0.05 ngmL is within the normal range. Troponin levels are often used to diagnose heart attacks or other heart-related conditions. In this case, the level of 0.05 ngmL is not concerning and does not indicate any acute heart issues. It is important to consider other factors and symptoms in conjunction with this result for a comprehensive evaluation. If your brother is experiencing any symptoms or concerns, it is recommended to follow up with his healthcare provider for further assessment and guidance.

Accepted Answer

it's great that you are monitoring your resting heart rate regularly. A decrease in resting heart rate can be a normal response to regular exercise and improved cardiovascular fitness. Since you have stopped your weight training routine for the past 2 months due to the lockdown, it is expected to see a decrease in your resting heart rate. However, if you are not experiencing any other symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath, a resting heart rate of 50-55 bpm is generally considered normal for physically active individuals. I recommend staying physically active with alternative home workouts or activities to maintain your cardiovascular fitness. Additionally, ensure you are getting adequate rest and managing stress levels. If you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and evaluation

Accepted Answer

When your heart rate increases significantly despite not feeling anxious or tense, it could be due to a condition called tachycardia. In such cases, you can use a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol. The usual dosage for Metoprolol in this case would be 25-50mg orally, which can help slow down your heart rate and reduce the workload on your heart. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.
