I'm really concerned about my father's health after getting his ECG results. He's 72 and sometimes has high blood pressure. He's been taking ecospirin av 75 at night, and the report mentions sinus bradycardia, right bundle branch block, and T wave abnormality suggesting lateral ischemia. It's labeled as an abnormal ECG, and I'm honestly worried. Should we consider surgery, or is it safe for him to continue with the ecospirin av 75? Could you please guide us on the next steps?

"Based on the ECG report showing Sinus bradycardia, Right bundle branch block, and T wave abnormality with possible lateral ischemia, it is important to consult a Cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Your father may need additional tests such as a stress test or coronary angiography to assess the extent of any blockages in the heart vessels. In terms of medication, Ecospirin AV 75 is a combination of Aspirin and Atorvastatin, which is commonly used for heart conditions. It is important to continue this medication as prescribed by the doctor unless advised otherwise. However, the dosage and frequency may need to be adjusted based on the cardiologist's recommendations. At this point, there is no indication for immediate surgery based on the information provided. The next steps will depend on the cardiologist's assessment of your father's overall cardiac health and the extent of any potential ischemia. Please schedule an appointment with a Cardiologist at the earliest to discuss the ECG findings and determine the appropriate course of action."

I've noticed my blood pressure has been fluctuating between 130 to 170 recently, but from yesterday, it's been around 140 to 156. What's really been worrying me is that my diastolic pressure stays pretty high, always between 90 and 110. I had an ECG done yesterday and it came back normal, and my TMT from last month was also fine. I do have a history of anxiety and I'm on medication for it, but my blood pressure usually stays normal even when I'm anxious. It's just been high for the past 4-5 days and I'm not sure what's causing it. What do you think I should do? Oh, and why is my diastolic pressure always high? I've had some mild chest pain sometimes too. Can you help me figure this out?

Your fluctuating blood pressure readings and consistently high diastolic pressure could be due to a combination of factors, including anxiety and other underlying health conditions. Since your ECG and TMT reports are normal, it's a good sign that there may not be any significant heart-related issues causing your symptoms. Given your history of anxiety and the recent increase in blood pressure, it's important to manage your stress levels and continue taking your anxiety medication as prescribed. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium, and stress-reducing activities may help in controlling your blood pressure. To address your high diastolic pressure, your doctor may consider prescribing medications such as Amlodipine (5-10mg) or Lisinopril (10-40mg) to help lower your blood pressure and reduce the strain on your heart. It's essential to follow your doctor's recommendations closely and monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you experience chest pain or any concerning symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. It's crucial to stay in touch with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and personalized management of your blood pressure and anxiety.

I'm really worried about my mom's situation. She's dealing with restrictive cardiomyopathy, tricuspid regurgitation, and pulmonary hypertension. The doctor suggested she takes sildenafil 20 and Isolazine 20 three times daily, but I've read that mixing these meds can sometimes lead to serious issues. Could this combo be risky for her? She's also on seloken XL 25, Tide 10, and Dabigatran 110. Any advice would really help.
