I've been taking cilametxl 50mg, moxvas 0.3mg, and minipress XL 5mg every morning and night, but I've noticed that my blood pressure drops temporarily and then spikes to around 17598 or 18595 by 4 p.m. and is high again early in the morning around 6 a.m. Why does this happen, and what can I do to manage these fluctuations better?

I'm 25 years old and recently found out I have mitral valve prolapse with trivial mitral regurgitation and an LVEF of 67. I'm really into staying active and love activities like running, jogging, swimming, skipping, and even mountain climbing. I'm just wondering, is it safe for me to keep doing these activities? And are there any specific things I should avoid or be careful about because of my condition?

I'm a bit concerned after my recent doctor visit. I had some left shoulder pain and my hands felt a bit numb after traveling, so I went to get checked out. The doctor had me do an ECG and mentioned that the QRS interval was 119ms, along with some other abnormalities, then suggested an echo just to be sure. The echo results seemed alright, showing no PAH or RWAH, and my LV systolic and diastolic function looks fine with an EF of 68. They didn't find any clots or vegetation, and the doctor said my echo is fine, but I'm still worried about the QRS interval on my ECG. Should I be looking deeper into this, or is it nothing too concerning?

The ECG report showing a QRS interval of 119ms may indicate a slight delay in the electrical conduction through the heart's lower chambers. This could be due to various reasons such as conduction abnormalities or certain heart conditions. However, since your screening echo came back normal with no significant findings, it is less likely to be a cause for concern. To alleviate your left shoulder pain and numbness in hands, you can take over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can also consider using topical pain relief creams such as diclofenac gel for localized relief. It is always advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management based on your individual health condition.
