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 allI'm having chest pain on the left side and it's been going on for quite a while now. I've had some tests done and it turns out there's a blockage in my heart. Do you think I should see a surgeon about this?
Based on your symptoms and test results showing blockage in your heart, you may need to start taking medications to manage your condition. One common medication prescribed for this is Aspirin, which helps to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack. The usual dosage for Aspirin in this case is 75mg to 325mg per day. Additionally, a statin medication like Atorvastatin may be prescribed to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages. The typical starting dose for Atorvastatin is 10mg to 20mg once daily. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your heart condition.

I'm really worried about what my doctor mentioned in my last appointment. He said something about my heart working at only 25%, and I'm not sure what that means. Is he correct? What should I do next?
The doctor's assessment of your heart functioning at 25% is indicative of a condition known as heart failure. In such cases, medications like Carvedilol (Coreg) at a starting dose of 3.125 mg twice daily can be prescribed to help improve heart function and symptoms. Additionally, medications like Lisinopril (Zestril) at a starting dose of 2.5-5 mg once daily can also be beneficial in managing heart failure. It is important to follow your doctor's advice closely and attend regular follow-up appointments for monitoring and adjustments to your treatment plan.

I'm really worried about this LAD thing showing up on my ECG. I don't have any symptoms, and my echo came back normal, so I'm confused about why it's happening. Should I be concerned about how this might impact my life span?
if your ECG shows LAD (Left Anterior Descending) without any symptoms and your echo is normal, it may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. LAD is a coronary artery that supplies blood to the front part of the heart. In some cases, an ECG may show variations that are not clinically significant. However, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. To ensure your heart health and longevity, you can consider taking low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily to prevent clot formation in the arteries. Additionally, you can discuss with your doctor about starting a statin medication like atorvastatin (10-20mg) to control cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking are also important for maintaining a healthy heart. If you have any concerns or experience any symptoms in the future, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
