Question 1

I'm really worried about my mom who's 89 and dealing with a leaky heart valve. Every couple of months, she gets shortness of breath and ends up in the hospital. Theyve given her a diuretic for the foot swelling and fluid in her lungs, but I'm really anxious to know what her life expectancy might be like with this condition at her age. Can you shed some light on this?

Accepted Answer

The inversion of T waves in lead 3 and aVF on your ECG could be due to various reasons, including but not limited to hypertension. Since your exercise tolerance test (ETT) is negative and your echocardiogram is normal, it is less likely to be related to coronary artery disease. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure closely and make sure it is well controlled. In this case, medications like Amlodipine 5mg once daily can be prescribed to help manage your high blood pressure and potentially improve the T wave inversion. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to monitor your condition.

Accepted Answer

To reduce your blood pressure without medication, you can try the following lifestyle changes: - Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables. - Limit alcohol intake and quit smoking. - Manage stress through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and keep a record to track changes. The blood pressure reading you provided (14997) is considered high and may indicate hypertension. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
