I've been having this burning sensation in the upper back, right at the center, since this morning. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure if it's something serious or if I'm overthinking it. Could it be a sign of something I should be worried about, or is it just something that happens sometimes? Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.

I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure lately, and it's been around 140100. I've noticed I'm getting headaches more frequently. Should I be worried about these numbers or the headaches? Is this something I need to get checked out or change in my routine? Any advice would be really helpful.

A blood pressure of 140100 is considered high and can contribute to headaches. I recommend you start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, you can take Acetaminophen (brand name Tylenol) 500mg for your headaches as needed, up to 3 times a day. Remember to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake and increasing physical activity.

I have rheumatic heart disease with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation and my LV is 58 - can this be managed with medications or do I need surgery

With rheumatic heart disease, moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation, and an LV ejection fraction of 58%, the decision to manage with medication or surgery depends on the specific symptoms and the severity of the regurgitation and LV dysfunction. While medications can help manage symptoms and prevent complications, severe cases often require surgical intervention to repair or replace the mitral valve. Your doctor will consider your individual circumstances, including the severity of your condition, your overall health, and your symptoms, to determine the best course of treatment

I'm noticing my blood pressure is all over the place, swinging between 11179 and 13389 over the past week. Do you think I should be on medication for this? Also, my lipid profile shows total cholesterol at 202, triglycerides at 237, LDL at 158, and HDL at 34. Should I be worried about these levels?

Your blood pressure readings are fluctuating within a borderline range, and considering your lipid profile results, medication may be beneficial to manage both your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I recommend starting with a combination medication like "Caduet" which contains Amlodipine 5mg and Atorvastatin 10mg. You can take 1 tablet daily in the evening. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can also help improve your overall cardiovascular health.
