View allI'm really worried about my mom. Her blood pressure this morning was 16090, and she's gained 45 kgs in the last 7 months. She doesn't show any other symptoms, but should I be concerned? Do you think she should start on any medication, or is there something else I should do? I'm planning to keep track of her blood pressure from now on. What would you recommend?
High blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. Given your mother's blood pressure reading of 16090, it is considered high and should be monitored closely. Since she has also gained weight recently, it is important to address this as well to help lower her blood pressure. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium and saturated fats, and weight loss if needed. Additionally, she can start taking an antihypertensive medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower her blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and monitoring.

I'm 20 and recently had two echocardiograms, one showing RVSP at 37 mmHg and the other at 29 mmHg. Both mentioned normal pulmonary artery and veins, and there's MVP with mild eccentric regurgitation. I'm worried about the possibility of pulmonary artery hypertension and whether it could be idiopathic. Could you help me understand what's going on?
