I've noticed my blood pressure has been rising, it's at 140100 now. My lipid profile, thyroid, ECG, and sugar levels are all normal. I'm worried about the increasing BP though. Should I consider starting medication, or would it be better to try changing my lifestyle first? What do you suggest?

Based on your blood pressure readings, even though your other health parameters are normal, it is important to address the high blood pressure. I recommend starting medication to help lower your blood pressure. In addition to medication, it is also beneficial to make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, increasing physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress. These lifestyle modifications can further help in controlling your blood pressure.

I recently got my dad an ECG because he's been having some mild blood pressure issues and he's on 2.5mg Amlodipine tablets. When I checked the report, I noticed it mentioned sinus tachycardia, abnormal left axis deviation, and left anterior fascicular block. I know we're seeing the doctor tomorrow, but I'm a bit anxious and can't wait until then. Any idea if this sounds alright or if there's anything I should be worried about?
Sinus tachycardia, abnormal left axis deviation, and left anterior fascicular block are findings that may indicate some issues with the heart's electrical activity. Sinus tachycardia refers to a faster than normal heart rate, while abnormal left axis deviation and left anterior fascicular block are specific patterns seen on an ECG that may suggest certain heart conditions. Considering your father's mild blood pressure and current medication of 2.5mg amlip tablets, it's important to discuss these ECG findings with the doctor. They will be able to provide a thorough evaluation and recommend any necessary treatment or further testing. In the meantime, it would be advisable to ensure your father continues taking his prescribed medication as directed. Additionally, monitoring his blood pressure regularly and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise can also be beneficial for his overall heart health.

I'm looking at my angiography report, and it states something like a 10060 17 blockage in the veins. I'm really unsure about what this means for my treatment options. Should I be considering surgery, or could something like using rings be effective without having to go through an operation? Also, I don't have diabetes, and there's no family history of heart issues. Would love to hear your thoughts on what might be the best route for me.
