View allI'm a bit worried about my blood pressure and heart rate. My BP reading came out to be 14997, and my heart rate was 106. I'm hoping to avoid taking medication if possible. Do these numbers suggest any health concerns, and what can I do to get my blood pressure back to a normal range naturally?
To reduce your blood pressure without medication, you can try the following lifestyle changes: - Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables. - Limit alcohol intake and quit smoking. - Manage stress through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and keep a record to track changes. The blood pressure reading you provided (14997) is considered high and may indicate hypertension. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a little concerned about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is at 234, triglycerides are 169, HDL cholesterol is 46.2, and non-HDL cholesterol is 193. I'm really wondering how risky these numbers are. Should I be thinking about taking medication, or could some lifestyle changes make a big difference?
Total cholesterol of 234 mgdL is slightly above the desirable level of less than 200 mgdL. Triglycerides of 169 mgdL are also slightly elevated, while HDL cholesterol of 46.2 mgdL is below the optimal level of 60 mgdL. Non-HDL cholesterol of 193 mgdL is also slightly elevated. These values indicate a moderate risk for cardiovascular disease. In this case, lifestyle changes are recommended as the first step to improve your cholesterol levels. This includes following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking. If lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient to bring your cholesterol levels to the desired range, medication may be considered. Statin medications such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) or Rosuvastatin (brand name Crestor) may be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels. The dosage and specific medication will depend on your individual health profile and risk factors. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels and working closely with your healthcare provider will help determine the most appropriate course of action for managing your cholesterol levels.

I'm a 22-year-old male and recently had a panic attack that lasted for three days on September 6, 2017. Ever since then, I've been noticing that even the smallest tasks make my heart rate go way up. I got an ECG done, and it showed sinus rhythm and an incomplete right bundle branch block. I'm really not sure what to do next. Should I be worried? What steps should I take from here?
That could be due to anxiety,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management
