I'm worried because my blood pressure has been 14090 for the past 20 days, and I've started having mild chest pain. I've done all the heart-related tests like ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. Should I be taking blood pressure medicine? My doctor hasn't prescribed anything for it yet, but I'm thinking maybe I should start at least for a few days. I weigh 110 kg, and my doctor only put me on cholesterol medication since my cholesterol is high. What do you think about starting bp medicine?

Your blood pressure reading of 14090 mmHg falls into the category of Stage 1 Hypertension according to most guidelines Since your heart-related tests (ECG, ECHO, TMT) are normal, and your doctor has not prescribed blood pressure (BP) medication, they may believe that your condition can initially be managed with lifestyle changes and monitoring. However, your weight (110 kg) and high cholesterol are additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and managing your blood pressure is crucial.

View allI recently had an ECG because I've been experiencing some mild chest pain. My doctor said it was gastric pain, but the ECG report showed a borderline sinus rhythm and some non-specific T wave abnormalities. Could you help me understand what this might mean? Should I be worried about these results? Any advice on what steps I should take next would be really helpful.

I'm really concerned about my daughter's health. She's 30 and works in IT as a software engineer. Lately, she's been experiencing a lot of laziness, and I'm worried because she always has low blood pressure, less than 10070. Is this something we should be worried about, or can low BP just vary from person to person?
Low blood pressure (less than 10070 mmHg) can be normal for some individuals and may not cause any symptoms. However, if your daughter is experiencing symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, or frequent laziness, it could be due to her low blood pressure or other underlying conditions. Its important to evaluate potential causes, such as dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or even the effects of a sedentary lifestyle associated with her IT job. Encouraging her to stay hydrated, maintain a balanced diet, and incorporate regular physical activity can help. If her symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions and provide personalized advice.
