I'm really worried about a heartbeat of 240 beats per minute. Is this life-threatening? Can it lead to heart failure? Is there a way to treat it, or what should I do next?

I'm really worried after seeing my father's recent echo report. It mentioned mild concentric LV hypertrophy and Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. His LVEF is at 75, which I think is good? But then there are terms like MV, AE, AV normal, and TDI EE 10.18, and I'm not sure what all that means. Can you help me understand the report and what it means for his heart health?

That says he is having mild left ventricular hypertrophy about wich you no need to worry and rest all the parametres are normal,have a healthy lifestyle,follow your doctors advice

I'm 20 and was diagnosed with hypertension a couple of years back. With the chaos of COVID, my schedule was kind of all over the place, so I ended up taking my blood pressure meds around 2 in the afternoon. Whenever I check, my BP seems to hover around 13080 or 85. Is this considered controlled? Also, is it okay for me to start taking my BP meds after breakfast instead? I've always been under the impression that the effects of these pills only last about 12 hours, and then my BP might rise after that. I'm also undergoing psychiatric treatment and currently on metoprolol and amlodipine since my doctor stopped the telmisartan when COVID hit. Could you help me out here?

Your blood pressure reading of 13080-85 is within the normal range, but it is on the higher side of normal. To further control your blood pressure, you can consider taking your medications in the morning after breakfast. Metoprolol and amlodipine are commonly used to treat hypertension. You can take Metoprolol 50mg once daily in the morning after breakfast and Amlodipine 5mg once daily in the morning after breakfast as well. These medications work effectively to help lower your blood pressure throughout the day. It's important to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for any adjustments in your treatment plan. Additionally, make sure to adhere to a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, to further support your blood pressure control.
