I was recently told by my general physician to start a 10-day course of Telma 40 mg because my blood pressure was quite high at 170110. I've been checking my BP in the evenings for the next few days, and it's usually between 100150 and 115155. After taking the medication for six days, my BP has come down to around 13090, and for the last couple of days, it's stabilized around 12080 in the evening. I've also cut back on salty and oily foods and started walking about 4 to 5 km, plus doing 20 minutes of Pranayam. I'm a bit concerned and curious about what else I can do. I have a BMI of 26.5. Any advice?

View allI've been having chest pain when I take deep breaths, mostly in the upper part of my chest. I looked it up online, and based on my symptoms, it says surgery might be needed. Could this be GERD or something else?
Chest pain, especially when taking deep breaths, can have several causes, including GERD, lung conditions, heart problems, and even anxiety. While GERD is a possibility, it's important to rule out other conditions like pneumonia or pulmonary embolism, as they can also cause chest pain with deep breathing. It's crucial to seek medical advice to determine the specific cause of your chest pain and receive appropriate treatment

I'm 32 years old and recently found out from my echo scan that I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I'm trying to understand what exactly grade 1 diastolic dysfunction means and what might have caused it. Should I be really worried about this? Could it lead to a heart attack or other heart disease down the road? My blood pressure is 13584 and my pulse is 93. I'm feeling pretty anxious about what all this could mean. Can you help clarify this for me? I've also attached my echo report for reference.
grade 1 diastolic dysfunction normal..salt restricted diet ,dash diet and regular aerobic exercises is advised to the patient.

I'm Priyanka, and I'm a bit concerned about my health. My TMT test showed inconclusive results regarding ischemia. I'm also looking at my lipid profile, which shows total cholesterol at 172, triglycerides at 172, HDL at 42, and LDL at 95.5. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean for my health and suggest any steps I should take? I've been feeling unwell, and I'm not sure what to do next.
Hello Priyanka, based on your test results and symptoms, it seems like you may be experiencing some cardiovascular issues. I would recommend starting treatment with a statin medication to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. You can start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help improve your lipid profile and reduce the risk of ischaemia. Additionally, you should focus on lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management to further improve your overall cardiovascular health.
