I was recently prescribed concor cor 2.5 for my blood pressure, which is 13090, and I have a heart rate of 113. Since I'm always on the go and sometimes end up skipping breakfast, I'm wondering if it's okay to take this medication on an empty stomach. Is that safe, or should I make sure to eat something first?

Concor Cor 2.5 is a brand name for Bisoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. It is generally recommended to take Bisoprolol with food to help with absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset. If you often skip breakfast, you can take your dose with a light snack or a small meal to minimize any potential stomach discomfort. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor.

View allHey, I've got a situation that's been bothering me. My blood pressure is pretty high, around 16510, which I know is far from normal. My lifestyle is generally healthyI don't smoke or drink alcohol. I also don't deal with anxiety or lead a sedentary lifestyle, and I avoid fast food. My blood sugar is normal when I fast. I'm just confused about why my BP is still high. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
High blood pressure of 165100 should be addressed promptly to prevent complications. I recommend starting with medication to lower your blood pressure. You can start with a combination of Amlodipine 5mg and Lisinopril 10mg once daily. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium, and stress management techniques can also help in managing your blood pressure. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are important to ensure your blood pressure is well controlled.

I'm a bit worried about my ECG results that I attached. Is there anything serious I should be concerned about? I noticed the T axis is at 1. Can you give me some advice on what this might mean?
Based on the information provided, a T axis of 1 in an ECG is within normal limits and is not typically considered a serious issue. However, it is important to consider the entire ECG report and any symptoms you may be experiencing for a comprehensive evaluation. If you have any concerns, it is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further assessment and guidance.

What is a good blood pressure by age?
In earlier times, Blood pressure was defined according to age. With all the new research data, Hypertension is defined only by increase in numbers in blood pressure which applies similarly for all adults above 18 years of age. Normal blood pressure is a reading less than 120/80 mm Hg. Any reading above 120/80 mm Hg checked consequently for three days needs a doctor's opinion.
