View allI'm really worried about my blood pressure which is at 13095I've already seen my physician and done a ton of tests like LFT, KFT, and a whole body USG with a renal artery Doppler. Everything came back normal, but they mentioned it's rising for unexplained reasons. Can anyone shed some light on why this might be happening?
Given that all tests are normal, your physician may consider your high blood pressure (13095) as "essential hypertension" or "idiopathic hypertension," meaning it has no identifiable cause, and recommend lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress reduction, and adequate sleep, along with possible medication to manage and control your blood pressure

I'm a bit worried about my heart because I was told I have left bundle branch block and that I had a silent heart attack, even though I'm not diabetic. I had an angiography done before my knee surgery, and it showed no major blockages, just a 20% one in my right coronary artery. I've also been dealing with hypertension. Can you help me understand what might be causing the LBBB?
Possible causes for left bundle branch block (LBBB) include underlying heart conditions such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, and heart valve disease. Since you mentioned that you are suffering from hypertension, it could be a contributing factor to your LBBB. It is important to manage your hypertension effectively to reduce the risk of further heart complications. In terms of medication, you may benefit from taking an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril to help control your blood pressure and protect your heart. The typical dosage for Lisinopril is 10-40mg once daily. Additionally, a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol can also be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate and blood pressure. The usual dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100mg once or twice daily. It is essential to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your heart health and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
