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'm feeling dizzy lately, and I've noticed my blood pressure readings are consistently around 11665. It's been like this for the past 3 to 4 days. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?
A blood pressure reading of 11665 mmHg is within the normal range, but experiencing dizziness for 3-4 days warrants further evaluation; consider consulting a doctor to rule out underlying causes of dizziness, such as dehydration, inner ear issues, or medication side effects, and to assess your overall health.

I'm really worried about my mom. She had chest pain a week ago and her ECG showed T wave inversion in V4, V5, and V6. The echo also showed rwma. We started her on clopidogrel and nicorandil. Today, both the ECG and echo came back normal. What should we do next?
Since the recent ECG and echo results are normal, it is a positive sign. However, considering the previous findings, it is important to continue monitoring her closely. I would recommend continuing with Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots and Nicorandil to help with chest pain. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management should be followed. Regular follow-up visits with her cardiologist are also important to ensure her heart health is maintained.

I'm a bit worried because my heart rate is around 113 BPM even when I'm just resting, but my ECG came back normal. I have to admit, I'm pretty lazy and don't get much exercise, and my breathing gets heavier when I try to run. Could my lifestyle be causing this high heart rate, or should I be concerned about something else?
A heart rate of 113 BPM at rest can be caused by various factors, including physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle. Since you mentioned that your ECG is normal, it is less likely to be due to a heart condition. The increase in respiratory rate on running suggests that your body is not efficiently adapting to physical exertion. To address this issue, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise and physical activity. Additionally, you can consider taking medication like Metoprolol to help lower your heart rate and improve cardiovascular health. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication regimen.
