View allI've been dealing with high blood pressure at 160100, and even after taking medication for four months, it hasn't improved. Yesterday, I was given two different prescriptions, and now I'm feeling dizzy in the morning and can't stand. The doctor mentioned some tests too. Is this something I should be worried about? Why isn't my blood pressure going down?
It is concerning that your blood pressure is still high despite taking medication for 4 months. The dizziness and inability to stand after taking the new medications could be due to their side effects. It is important to follow up with your doctor regarding these symptoms. Regarding why your blood pressure is not coming down, there could be various reasons such as medication resistance, underlying health conditions, lifestyle factors, or incorrect dosage. It is crucial to discuss this with your doctor to adjust your treatment plan accordingly. In the meantime, make sure to monitor your blood pressure regularly, follow a healthy diet low in sodium, engage in regular physical activity, manage stress, and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.

I'm trying to understand what a left anterior hemiblock means when it shows up on an ECG. Should I be worried about it? Is there a need for any kind of treatment, or is it something that won't affect my health too much?
Left anterior hemiblock (LAHB) on an ECG indicates an abnormality in the electrical conduction pathway of the heart, specifically affecting the left anterior fascicle of the left bundle branch. While LAHB can be benign in some individuals, it can also be associated with underlying heart conditions such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease, or cardiomyopathies. Whether it requires treatment depends on the presence of symptoms and any underlying heart conditions. It's important to consult with your cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation to determine the significance of LAHB in your case and to discuss whether any further tests or treatments are necessary.
