What causes hypertension headaches?

High blood pressure can cause you to have a headache, and this kind of headache signals an emergency. This occurs when your blood pressure becomes dangerously high. A hypertension headache will usually occur on both sides of your head and is typically worse with any activity.

I'm experiencing sudden and strong heartbeats in my chest, and it just happens out of nowhere. It's really uncomfortable, and even something as simple as walking can set it off. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and suggest any solutions?

Sudden strong heartbeat and discomfort in the chest, especially during simple activities like walking, could be due to a condition called atrial fibrillation. It is a type of irregular heartbeat that can lead to serious complications if not treated. I recommend you to take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg twice daily to help control your heart rate and rhythm. However, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried about my heart health and I recently had an echocardiogram done. I've heard of things like incomplete and complete RBBB, but I'm not sure how I can tell which one I have from the report. Can you help me understand what to look for to figure out if it's incomplete or complete RBBB?

To determine if your right bundle branch block (RBBB) is incomplete or complete, you would need to look at specific criteria on an ECG report. Incomplete RBBB typically shows a QRS duration of 100-120 ms, while complete RBBB shows a QRS duration greater than 120 ms. Additionally, complete RBBB usually has a wide, slurred S wave in leads I, aVL, V5, and V6. On an echocardiogram report, signs of RBBB may include right ventricular hypertrophy, delayed activation of the right ventricle, and abnormal motion of the interventricular septum. However, the definitive diagnosis of RBBB is made through an ECG rather than an echocardiogram. If you suspect RBBB based on your echocardiogram report, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
