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 wondering if there's any test that can confirm whether my bypass surgery was successful. Are there any scans or assessments I should consider to be sure everything's okay?
Yes, after a bypass surgery, a coronary angiogram can be done to assess the success of the procedure. This test involves injecting a special dye into the coronary arteries and taking X-ray images to visualize any blockages or abnormalities. Additionally, an echocardiogram can also be performed to evaluate the heart function and assess the blood flow. These tests can help determine if the bypass surgery was successful.

I've been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and I've got a bit of trivial regurgitation. The doctors said I don't need any treatment for it, which is reassuring, but Ive been using minoxidil 5% for my baldness and sometimes I notice my heart beats a little faster. My cardiologist mentioned it's okay to use it, and my dermatologist also recommended it knowing these symptoms. Is it genuinely safe to keep using minoxidil in my situation? I'm just a bit worried about how it might affect my heart condition.

I've been having bouts where my heart rate spikes up to 100-105, and I've noticed some mild chest pain with that. When this happens, my heart rate is usually under 100, and my blood pressure is 12680, plus my sugar and thyroid levels are normal. My ECG came back showing sinus tachycardia. Could you guide me on what kind of medicine might help with this?
I cannot view attachments, but given your description of symptomsintermittent high heart rate, mild chest pain, and an ECG showing sinus tachycardiait's important to address these issues carefully. Since your blood pressure and thyroid levels are normal, your symptoms could be related to stress, anxiety, or other non-cardiac causes. Medications such as beta-blockers (e.g., metoprolol) may help manage sinus tachycardia and associated symptoms, but these should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, practicing relaxation techniques, and ensuring adequate hydration and sleep can be beneficial. Please consult your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan, including whether medication is necessary.
