I'm really worried because for the past four months I've been dealing with high blood pressure, fatigue, and dizziness. A month ago, I saw a physician who told me my BP was 150100 and put me on some tablets. I started with Prolomet XL 25, then added Amlong 2.5 after dinner. For a couple of weeks, things seemed better with my BP at 13080, but the dizziness and fatigue haven't gone away. I've never felt like this before. Do you think there are other medicines I should consider or any other advice you might have?

It's good that your blood pressure has improved with the medications you are currently taking. However, if you are still experiencing dizziness and fatigue, it may be necessary to adjust your medication regimen. I would recommend adding a medication like Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5mg once daily in the morning. This medication can help further control your blood pressure and reduce the dizziness and fatigue symptoms you are experiencing. Remember to consult with your physician before making any changes to your medication regimen."

View allI'm really worried because I was just told I've got a ruptured mitral valve. Is this really serious? What should I be doing to take care of myself with this condition? Would really appreciate some advice on precautions.
Mitral valve rupture is a serious condition that can lead to complications if not managed properly. Some precautions you can take include: 1. Follow your doctor's treatment plan and take medications as prescribed. 2. Avoid strenuous physical activities and get plenty of rest. 3. Monitor your symptoms regularly and report any changes to your healthcare provider. 4. Maintain a healthy diet low in sodium and saturated fats. 5. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption. 6. Stay up to date with regular follow-up appointments with your cardiologist. As for medications, you may be prescribed medications such as Lisinopril (ACE inhibitor) and Furosemide (diuretic) to help manage symptoms and prevent complications.

I've had an Acute MI back in January 2019, and they did angioplasty within two days of the attack. Right now, I'm taking Vymada 59, Ecosprin 75, Brilinta 90, Eptus T 2510, Atocor 40, and Seloken XL 50. Everything's been mostly fine, but I do sometimes get breathless, have palpitations, feel dizzy, and even experience less alertness. I'm really curious about a few things: - What's the likelihood that my ejection fraction will increase? - How long can I expect to live with my condition and current treatment? - Are there any known long-term side effects of these medications on other parts of the body, and how can I minimize any negative effects? - My doctor mentioned considering an AICD. Would that help improve my ejection fraction? - What are some potential downsides to getting an AICD?

I'm really concerned about my cholesterol levels. I had really high LDL cholesterol at 293, but after taking medications like Rosuvastatin, changing my diet, and exercising more, my bad cholesterol has apparently gone down to normal. I'm wondering though, since high bad cholesterol is known for causing blockages in arteries, does it mean I'm in the clear now that my levels are normal? Or should I still be worried about any existing blockages?
After reducing your bad cholesterol levels with Roseday 10, diet, and exercise, it is likely that the risk of blockages in your arteries has decreased. However, it is important to continue with a healthy lifestyle to maintain these improvements. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels is also recommended to ensure they stay within a healthy range.
