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?

My dad just had a 2D Echo after his ECG showed an irregular heartbeat, and I'm a bit worried. The report mentions grade 2 Diastolic Dysfunction and says something about an aortic valve being sclerotic. How serious is this? He's been feeling really weak and lethargic lately. What can we do to help him feel better?

I'm really confused because my Echo and ECG tests came back normal, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. I'm a GERD patient, and whenever these palpitations hit, I get really nervous. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should be doing or looking out for?

Palpitations despite normal Echo and ECG in a GERD patient could be due to acid reflux irritating the vagus nerve, leading to palpitations. In such cases, managing GERD effectively can help reduce palpitations. You can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for GERD.

I'm really confused because I keep having chest pain, but my tmt, ecg, and echo are all normal. I've had about 20 ecgs, but everything checks out fine. I'm not sure what to do next. Any ideas or advice would be really appreciated.
