I've been dealing with headaches last week that lasted for two days, and my BP was at 240160. I got an MRIMRA done, and luckily everything was normal. Started taking Cilacar 10mg once a day, and from the next day, my BP seemed under control. But today, it suddenly spiked to 180120 this evening. I can only get in to see a doctor tomorrow. Should I consider taking half of the Cilacar 10mg now to help lower it?

View allWhen should I consider getting a TMT test? Are there specific signs or symptoms that would mean I need one? I'm a 23-year-old guy and just want to understand when it might be necessary.
A TMT (Treadmill Test) is usually recommended for individuals who have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or dizziness during physical activity. It is also indicated for individuals with risk factors for heart disease such as a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or smoking history. As a 23-year-old male without any symptoms or risk factors, a TMT may not be necessary at this time. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to reduce the risk of heart disease in the future.

I'm 28 and just got my echo results. It says I have a mitral valve prolapse with mild mitral regurgitation and a tricuspid valve prolapse with mild tricuspid regurgitation. My LEVF is 60, and my heart rate is 110. Should I be worried about these findings? Is this something serious?
Based on your echo report, the presence of mild mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation, as well as mild tricuspid valve prolapse and regurgitation, along with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 60% and a heart rate of 110 beats per minute, indicate some abnormalities in your heart function. While mild valve prolapse and regurgitation are common and may not cause significant issues, it is important to monitor them regularly. To address the mild regurgitation and prolapse, you can take medication such as beta-blockers like Metoprolol Succinate (Toprol XL) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce strain on the valves. Additionally, you may benefit from ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril (Zestril) to help manage any potential heart failure risk. It is essential to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your heart condition. Regular monitoring and lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking, can also help manage these conditions and prevent any serious complications.

I'm 36 years old and my cholesterol levels are quite high. I've got the details here: Total cholesterol is 212 mgdL, triglycerides are 333 mgdL, HDL is 33.60 mgdL, LDL is 143 mgdL, VLDL is 35.4 mgdL, and Non-HDL is 178 mgdL. My liver function tests show bilirubin total at 0.42 mgdL, bilirubin direct at 0.07 mgdL, and bilirubin indirect at 0.35 mgdL. My SGOT is 40 UL, SGPT is 34 UL, GGTP is 28 UL, ALP is 121 UL, total protein is 7.20 gdL, and albumin is 4.48 gdL with an AG ratio of 1.65. My fasting blood sugar is 102 mgdL. The doctor recommended taking Rozavel F 10 mg twice a day, but I'm really concerned and wondering if there's anything else I can do to lower my cholesterol quickly. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
"Based on your cholesterol levels and liver function test results, I recommend adding Ezetimibe 10 mg once daily to your current treatment with Rozavel F 10 mg twice a day. This combination can help in faster reduction of cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider adding Omega-3 fatty acids supplement to further improve your lipid profile. Make sure to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and engage in regular physical activity to complement the medication therapy."
