I'm a 43-year-old guy, and I've been dealing with some chest pain, so I had an echocardiogram done. They found grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. My blood pressure's been a bit off too; usually, the systolic pressure is between 120 and 126, but the diastolic is always around 90 to 96. I've also been taking Roseday 10mg for a few months since my LDL cholesterol was slightly above the borderline. I'm really curious if I should be on any medication for my blood pressure and if I should be concerned about this diastolic dysfunction thing. Does it get worse over time?
Consider medication for high diastolic BP, especially since its consistently elevated. Continue your current medication (Roseday) for cholesterol management, but ensure your BP is addressed as well. Be proactive about lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise, and stress management. Regularly monitor your heart function and consult your cardiologist for any necessary adjustments.

Hey, I've been having this left chest pain for a year now. I've done a TMT test and it came back negative. In the past year, I've had a 2D echo done 3 times and about 40 ECGs, all normal, but the pain is still there on the left side of my chest. Even though the TMT was negative, the pain persists, and I'm really worried about heart issues. My cholesterol levels are fine, sugar levels are normal, but my BP is 16090. My liver, kidney, and urine tests are also normal. I'm really anxious, especially with all the scary news I see on TV and social media. I've attached the most recent ECG can you please check if there's anything wrong? What should be my next step?
Since your TMT test was negative and your ECGs have been normal, it's good to hear that your cholesterol, sugar levels, blood pressure, liver function, urine test, and renal test are all normal. Given your concerns and persistent symptoms, the next step would be to consider a stress echocardiogram to further evaluate your heart's function under stress conditions. This test can provide more detailed information compared to a standard 2D echo. Additionally, considering your fear and anxiety, it may be helpful to consult with a cardiologist for a more comprehensive evaluation and to address your worries. It's important to address both the physical and emotional aspects of your health.
