I've noticed my BP readings have gone up, with today's being 14060. Is this considered high? Can I get it back to normal? Six months ago, my readings were around 13080 to 13090. Last night, I was under a lot of stress and didn't sleep well. I also skipped meals and generally don't have a very healthy lifestylestaying up late, waking up late, and not exercising much. I don't smoke, though. Any advice would be appreciated.
Sleep better and establish a consistent sleep routine. Eat on time, focus on a low-sodium, well-balanced diet. Exercise regularly. Manage stress through techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or exercise. Monitor your BP regularly and seek advice from a healthcare provider if needed.

I'm really concerned about my wife. She saw an eye surgeon for her cataract surgery, and he suggested she get an ECG done first. After looking at the ECG results, he recommended an ECHO test. The results came back mostly normal, with no regional wall motion abnormality and normal systolic function at 65%. But it did show mild pulmonary arterial hypertension with an RVSP of 35 mmHg. I'm not sure what this means or if we should be worried. Does she need treatment for this? Could you help us understand the situation a bit better?
