After reviewing my mother-in-law's recent ECG, it shows something called Concentric LVH with Diastolic dysfunction Type 1. She's 54 years old, and I'm really concerned about whether this is something serious. Can this condition be treated with medication, or is heart surgery necessary? Looking for some guidance here.

View allI've been keeping an eye on my health and just found out that my blood pressure is at 14090. My ECG report shows that my right bundle branch is blocked, and now my doctor wants me to start taking CYTOGARD and MONIT GTN 2.6. To be honest, I'm a bit nervous about starting these medications since I don't really have any symptoms. Is it really necessary to take them, or should I hold off until there's something more serious going on?

I've been experiencing this fluttering or skipped sensation in my chest and it feels like it's coming from the right side of my heart or the middle of my chest. It only lasts for about 2 to 4 seconds. Should I be concerned about this?
