I'm a bit concerned because my ECG showed a short PR interval of 109. I'm not experiencing any symptoms right now, but Im worried if this could lead to any future health problems. Should I be worried about this?

Short PR interval on ECG can be a sign of an abnormal electrical pathway in the heart. This can sometimes lead to a condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which may increase the risk of certain heart rhythm problems. Since you have no symptoms currently, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. In case of any symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, or fainting, you should consult a cardiologist. However, for now, no specific treatment is needed.

Question

I've been dealing with headaches last week that lasted for two days, and my BP was at 240160. I got an MRIMRA done, and luckily everything was normal. Started taking Cilacar 10mg once a day, and from the next day, my BP seemed under control. But today, it suddenly spiked to 180120 this evening. I can only get in to see a doctor tomorrow. Should I consider taking half of the Cilacar 10mg now to help lower it?
