Question

I've been dealing with a blood pressure reading of 15498 for the past year, and I'm really trying to convince myself it'll get better naturally, but it just hasn't budged. Do you think there's a way to bring it down to a normal range?

Consistently high blood pressure like yours may require medication to bring it under control and reduce the risk of complications. I recommend you start taking a medication like Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) at a starting dose of 5mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for proper evaluation and monitoring of your blood pressure.

Question

I'm worried because my pulse rate has been really high even when I'm just restinglike around 105 to 115. Also, for the past three days, I've been having shortness of breath, and I know I have mild asthma, but I'm not using my inhaler right now. What can I do to lower my pulse rate to normal?

Question

I'm looking over my recent ECG report and I'm a bit worried about understanding it. It shows various measurements like QRS 84ms, QTQTcB 360439 ms, PR 148ms, and more stuff like that. I'm not sure if anything seems off, especially with these values like P 92ms and RRPP 672650 ms, and how they all add up. Also, theres something about Sokolow 1.3mVNK from 13 May. Could you explain what these all mean and if I should be concerned about anything unusual here?
