Question 1

I've been told I have mild left ventricular hypertrophy after a 2D echo test. Is this something that can be reversed if I manage to keep my blood pressure around 12080?

Accepted Answer

Ideally its irreversible,but in some cases when BP is maintained under control with good and heathy life style,its observed to be reversible

Question 2

I've got pretty high cholesterol levels, like 267, and my LDL is around 180, but my HDL is at 60.59. I tried using statins to lower my cholesterol, but I started having some issues, like erection problems, so I had to stop. Even with changes to my diet and exercise, the lowest I could get my cholesterol down to was 234. Can you recommend any medications that won't mess with my sexual health, or maybe some natural remedies? I also tried Rosave 10, which didn't cause any sexual issues, but it did make me urinate more frequently. What should I consider next?

Accepted Answer

Given your history of experiencing sexual side effects with statins, a good alternative medication for lowering cholesterol levels without such side effects is Ezetimibe (brand name Zetia). You can take Ezetimibe 10mg once daily. It works by decreasing the absorption of cholesterol from the diet. Additionally, you can consider adding Omega-3 fatty acids supplements to your daily regimen, as they have been shown to help lower cholesterol levels naturally. Make sure to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement.

Question 3

I'm a 24-year-old woman with a weight of 37kg, and my heartbeat is constantly around 134bpm, even when I'm resting. For the last 5 years, my heart rate usually stays in the range of 120 to 130. I dont have any other health issues and havent felt any discomfort, but I'm worried this might be dangerous. Do I need surgery, or can this be treated with medicines? Does homeopathy have any solutions? I really want to avoid surgery if possible. Can you help me figure this out?

Accepted Answer

Your heart rate of 134bpm is slightly elevated, but since you have been experiencing heart rates in the range of 120 to 130 bpm at rest for the past 5 years without any other symptoms, it may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. Surgery is not typically needed for a slightly elevated heart rate. Medications can be used to help control heart rate if necessary. In your case, a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol can be prescribed to help lower your heart rate and manage any symptoms you may be experiencing. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg to be taken once daily. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
