What does high blood pressure headache feel like?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
According to the research available, most studies show that headache is not a symptom of high blood pressure unless a person is in hypertensive crisis. Hypertensive crisis is a medical emergency where blood pressure is more than 180/120 mm Hg with other symptoms such as nose bleed, chest pain and breathlessness. During this episode, headache can occur which is usually on both sides, pulsating type and increases with activity.

View allI'm reviewing my lipid profile report, and I'm a bit concerned. My triglycerides are at 203, total cholesterol is 238, LDL cholesterol is 158, HDL cholesterol is 39, and VLDL is 41. I'm not sure if these numbers are within normal range. I'm trying to manage my weight, which is currently 73kg, because I had some palpitations about four months ago. I'm on a diet now, but I'm worried about these levels. Could you guide me on whether these are normal and how I might improve them?
To improve your lipid profile, you can consider making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. To help improve your lipid profile, you can start taking a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg. It is important to continue with your diet and exercise regimen to see improvements in your lipid profile over time.

I've just been told I have an atrial septal defect that's 27mmI found out by chance at age 20. I exercise regularly, like swimming every day for 30 minutes along with doing push-ups and pull-ups. I don't have any symptoms, but I'm curious if I should get this fixed. If so, would it have to be open-heart surgery or is there another less invasive method available?
Based on the size of the atrial septal defect and your age, closure may be recommended to prevent any potential complications in the future. One common method for closing an atrial septal defect is through a minimally invasive procedure called transcatheter closure, which does not require open heart surgery. However, the decision on whether to close the defect and the choice of procedure should be discussed with a cardiologist who can evaluate your specific case in detail.

I'm feeling really worried because my heart pumping seems weak, yet my heart rate is 72 bpm. I also have this severe mitral valve regurgitation. Is something like this normal, or should I be concerned?
A heart rate of 72bpm is within the normal range. However, with severe mitral valve regurgitation and weak heart pumping, it is important to manage your condition. You can take medications like Carvedilol 6.25mg twice daily to help improve heart function and Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to control heart rate. Additionally, you may benefit from medications like Furosemide 40mg once daily to reduce fluid buildup. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is essential for monitoring and adjusting your treatment plan.
