Those who drank at least a half-cup of moderate strength green or oolong tea per day for a year had a 46% lower risk of developing hypertension than those who didn't drink tea.

Question

I'm really concerned about my mild MVP diagnosis that was confirmed by a cardiologist about 15 months ago. The cardiologist recommended an ECG every year, but I'm worried about what this means for the future, especially considering my age. My last ECG report from December 2014 mentioned mild mitral valve prolapse, but everything else seemed normal, like the other valves and chambers. There wasn't any significant regurgitation, and the ventricular systolic function was normal. Should I be worried about any long-term issues, or is there something specific I should be doing to keep an eye on this?

Question

I'm really worried about my 30-year-old son. He's been diagnosed with grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, and I know his systolic function is at 68. His blood pressure is around 13090, and thankfully, he doesn't have diabetes or thyroid issues. I'm just trying to understand how we can manage or improve his diastolic dysfunction. What can we do for him?

Question

I'm dealing with high BP and hypertension for the past 1.5 years, and it's something my parents deal with too. I've been taking Telma 40 and Amlodac, and also Rosuvas. With my sedentary lifestyle and night shifts, I really want to know how I can eventually stop taking these medications. I dont want to rely on drugs forever. Can you provide some advice?
