I'm really concerned because my heartbeat is only 20 and I'm having trouble breathing. Can you tell me how much your EECP treatment costs? How long does the treatment usually take? And could you walk me through the whole treatment process? I'm eager to understand more about what to expect.

For your condition, EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) treatment can be beneficial. The treatment fee can vary depending on the healthcare facility and location, so it's best to inquire directly at the clinic. Typically, an EECP treatment course involves 35 one-hour sessions, usually conducted over a span of 7 weeks (5 sessions per week). During the treatment process, you will be comfortably lying on a bed with large blood pressure-like cuffs wrapped around your legs. These cuffs will inflate and deflate in sync with your heartbeat to increase blood flow to your heart and improve its function. This non-invasive treatment can help improve your heart function and alleviate symptoms like shortness of breath. I hope this information helps.

View allI'm really worried because my blood pressure is at an all-time high, showing readings like 152105, and my heart rate is 101. I'm not feeling well at all. Could this be something serious, and what should I do about it?
"I recommend you take Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily for high blood pressure. For your elevated heart rate, you can take Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg twice daily. Make sure to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly."

I've been on Olmetrack 20 for about a year now, but it's pretty expensive for me. My blood pressure is reading 13084. Do you think I could switch to Olmighty 20 since it's more affordable? I'm 28 years old, 5'3", and weigh 70 kg. Would that have any implications on my health?
Both Olmetrack 20 and Olmighty 20 contain the same active ingredient, which is Olmesartan. Olmighty 20 is a more cost-effective option for you. You can switch to Olmighty 20 with the same dosage as Olmetrack 20 to help maintain your blood pressure at a healthy level.
