I'm thinking about marrying a girl who's had heart valve surgery. She's 27 and on meds her cardiologist says she'll need forever. I'm worried about what this means for us, especially if we want to have kids. Could her medication cause any side effects or issues with pregnancy? And what should we expect for her health and our life together?

View allI'm a bit worried about my resting pulse rate, which is around 55 to 60, but when I work out it goes up to 75 to 80. My ECG and lipid profile are normal, and I take Telpres CT for my blood pressure, which is also normal. I'm curious if this medication could be what's making my pulse lower. Should I be concerned about my resting pulse rate, or is this within a normal range?
Your resting pulse rate of 55 to 60 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults, especially if you are physically active. When you workout, it is normal for your pulse rate to increase to 75 to 80 beats per minute. Telpres CT is a combination medication that contains Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Telpres CT, specifically the Chlorthalidone component, can sometimes cause a slight decrease in heart rate as a side effect. However, in your case, with a resting pulse rate of 55 to 60, it is more likely that your lower pulse rate is due to your good physical fitness rather than the medication. As your ECG and lipid profile reports are normal, and you are maintaining a normal blood pressure with Telpres CT, there is no need to be concerned about your pulse rate. It is important to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for any concerns.

I've just checked my blood pressure at home and got a reading of 13784 while standing. I took the measurement suddenly without resting, and then it read 12780 after two minutes, and after another two minutes, it dropped to 11274. Is this normal? Should I be worried about these quick changes?
Blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day due to various factors such as stress, physical activity, and even the time of day. However, the readings you provided are within the normal range. A blood pressure of 13784, 12780, and 11274 are all considered normal blood pressure readings. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and if you have any concerns, consult with your healthcare provider.
