I've been feeling really worn out and having a hard time sleeping because of my breathing troubles. I recently found out my ejection fraction is at 40. I'm super worried about it and want to know what I can do to feel better and improve my situation. Any advice on how to handle this?

View allI'm dealing with high blood pressure around 155105 and have been taking inzit 4 mg once daily as advised by my doctor for the past 10 days, but Im not seeing any improvement. Both of my parents have high BP too, and I work in a software job which means I sit a lot. Does this mean Ill have to be on medication forever, or are there lifestyle changes I can try that might help lower my BP without relying on meds?
Despite taking Inzit 4mg for 10 days, your BP remains high; consider lifestyle modifications to complement medication: regular aerobic exercise (30 minutesday), stress reduction techniques (meditation, yoga), weight management, dietary changes (low sodium, high potassium, DASH diet), increased water intake, and adequate sleep (7-8 hoursnight); also, discuss with your doctor potential adjustments to your medication regimen, such as dosage or additional medications, to achieve better BP control; with consistent lifestyle efforts and medication adherence, it's possible to reduce BP and potentially decrease medication dependence over time.

I'm 17 years old and I've recently gotten some blood pressure readings like 13080 and 13081. I'm kind of worried and wondering if these numbers are normal for my age. Would appreciate some insight on this.
These blood pressure readings fall within the prehypertension range for your age group. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to keep it in a healthy range. You can try to reduce your sodium intake, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, and manage stress. If these measures are not enough to lower your blood pressure, you may need medication. I recommend you to consult with a doctor to discuss further evaluation and treatment options.
