View allI've been dealing with hypertension for the past year and recently found out I have mild LVH. I'm currently taking nebivolol and amlodipine, but my blood pressure still won't go below 13585. I'm only 34, and I'm worried about why these meds aren't working. Is there something else I should consider doing or trying?
Managing hypertension with mild LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) requires a comprehensive approach. _Current Medications_ 1. _Nebivolol_: A beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and reduce LVH. 2. _Amlodipine_: A calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. _Additional Strategies_ 1. _Lifestyle Modifications_: - Regular aerobic exercise (at least 150 minutesweek) - Weight management (aim for a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9) - Balanced diet (emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein) - Stress reduction techniques (meditation, yoga, or deep breathing) 2. _Monitor and Adjust Medications_: - Regularly monitor blood pressure and adjust medications as needed. - Consider adding a diuretic or an ACE inhibitorARB to enhance blood pressure control. 3. _LVH Monitoring_: - Regular echocardiograms to monitor LVH progression - Adjust medications and lifestyle modifications accordingly _Consult a Specialist_ Consider consulting a cardiologist to reassess your treatment plan and provide personalized guidance.

I'm really concerned because my cholesterol is still high even after changing my diet and starting to walk regularly for the last four months. I was really hoping these changes would help. My doctor prescribed Rosubest 10mg, and I'm worried about whether this medication could affect my liver. I had a grade 2 fatty liver before and my LFT blood report showed inflammation. Could taking this tablet make that worse? Just trying to get a sense of what I should look out for.
Rosuvastatin (Rosubest 10mg) can potentially affect liver function, especially with a pre-existing grade 2 fatty liver and elevated LFTs; however, your doctor may have considered this risk and prescribed it under careful monitoring; ensure regular liver function tests (every 6-12 weeks) and report any symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal pain to your doctor, who may adjust the dosage or consider alternative treatments.

Im 17 and dont have high blood pressure issues, and no one in my family does either. I just checked my bp, and first, it showed 13095, which freaked me out a bit, so I retook it, and it went to 13598. Then, I took it yet again, and it showed 13998. Is a bp of 13898 normal? I get really anxious every time I check it, and my breathing changes and I get a bit tense. Can you help?
It is understandable that you are feeling anxious about your blood pressure readings. A blood pressure of 13898 is slightly elevated and may indicate prehypertension. However, given your young age and the possibility of anxiety affecting your readings, it is important to take multiple readings at different times to get a more accurate assessment. To help manage your anxiety during blood pressure checks, you can try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation. It may also be helpful to monitor your blood pressure regularly and keep a record to share with your healthcare provider. If you continue to experience anxiety or have concerns about your blood pressure, you may consider speaking with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
