I'm really worried about what happened to me a few days ago. My heart started racing, and it felt like there was some relief when I passed gas, but the fast heartbeat didn't totally go away. I ended up in the hospital and they had to give me shock treatment for my heart rate. That helped, but my blood pressure is still pretty high at 170120, even though it was normal just a week earlier. The doctor prescribed Ixarola 20 mg and cordarone tablets for 15 days. Can someone help me understand what caused this sudden change? I'm also looking for advice on any lifestyle changes or diet adjustments I should make to get my blood pressure down. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you experienced a rapid heart rate episode that required medical intervention to restore normal heart rhythm. The high blood pressure you are currently experiencing may be related to this episode. Ixarola 20 mg is a medication that helps lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. Cordarone is a medication that helps regulate heart rhythm. To help manage your blood pressure and overall heart health, here are some lifestyle changes you can consider: - Follow a heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit your intake of sodium, saturated fats, and added sugars. - Engage in regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. - Maintain a healthy weight and aim to lose weight if you are overweight. - Limit alcohol consumption and avoid smoking. - Manage stress through relaxation techniques, meditation, or yoga. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider as recommended. These lifestyle changes, along with your prescribed medications, can help improve your blood pressure and overall heart health.

View allI'm a bit worried because I've been having chest pain for the last two weeks. I just got my 2D echo report, and it says I have a mild prolapse of the anterior mitral leaflet. I'm not diabetic, I don't smoke, and I don't drink alcohol. Other than that, all the other results in the echo report seem to be normal. Should I be concerned about this? Could you please take a look at my reports and give me some advice?
Based on your description and the 2D echo report showing mild mitral valve regurgitation, I recommend starting treatment with a calcium channel blocker such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help with the chest pain and manage the mild regurgitation. Additionally, you can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to reduce the risk of any clot formation. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I just got my mom's ECG report, and it says her QRS is 80 ms, and there's something about intraventricular conduction delay. Should I be worried about this? Is there anything we can do at home to help with it?
This delay can sometimes be a sign of underlying heart conditions. It is important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Unfortunately, there are no home remedies that can specifically address intraventricular conduction delays. It is crucial to follow the advice and treatment plan recommended by the cardiologist to ensure proper management of this condition.

I'm considering switching from Teleact 40 manufactured by Ranbaxy to Telmikind 40 by Mankind because the latter is more affordable. Do you think it's okay to make this change? I'm curious if there's any difference between the two in terms of effectiveness or potential side effects. Could you shed some light on this for me?
