I'm 27 and dealing with a sugar problem, for which I'm taking Glimepiride and Metformin 11000sr tablets, two daily. Lately, I've noticed my blood pressure is 14090, and my pulse is around 92. I've also been experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest, so I decided to check my ECG. The results showed a sinus rhythm with a normal P axis and a ventricular rate between 50 and 99. There was also some ST elevation, which I've read could be a normal early repolarization pattern, but I'm still worried. The diagnostics mentioned "age 55" even though I'm only 27. Could this be a mistake, or is it something I need to be concerned about? I would appreciate any insight or advice you could give me.

I am sorry to hear about your health concerns. It seems like you are experiencing some cardiac symptoms along with your existing medical conditions. Based on the information you provided, you are currently taking Glimipride and Metformin for your sugar problem. Since you have mentioned that you are experiencing chest pain and have abnormal ECG findings, it is important to address your elevated blood pressure as well. I would recommend that you consult with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and management. In the meantime, to help manage your blood pressure, you can consider taking Amlodipine 5mg once daily. This medication can help lower your blood pressure and reduce the strain on your heart. Additionally, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, and engaging in regular physical activity. Please continue to monitor your symptoms closely and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance and management.

View allI'm 29 and just had some tests done, including an ECG, ECHO, and TMT, and the results came back normal, but there was a note in my ECHO report about "LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2." My cardiologist said it's normal and nothing to worry about, but I'm still a bit concerned. I don't smoke or drink and I'm not overweight. I did some Googling and found different explanations about that note, which is making me a bit anxious. I also didn't sleep well only about 4 hours the night before the tests and wore double masks during them. Could any of that have impacted the results? Just want to make sure there's nothing I should be concerned about.
"Based on your description, it seems like you are concerned about the comment in your ECHO report regarding LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2. Your cardiologist has reassured you that it is normal and nothing to worry about, which is a good sign. LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2 indicates some stiffness in the left ventricle of your heart during the relaxation phase, but it is a common finding and may not necessarily indicate any serious issues. Considering your age, lifestyle habits, and the fact that all your other tests (ECG, TMT) are normal, there is likely no cause for concern. Factors such as inadequate sleep and wearing double masks during the tests could have influenced the results slightly. To further support your heart health, you can focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. If you have any specific symptoms or concerns in the future, do not hesitate to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation. No specific medication is required for LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2 at this stage. Just continue with your healthy habits and follow up with your cardiologist as recommended for routine check-ups."

I'm really worried about my dad. He's had a stroke and a bypass in the past, and his heart rate usually hangs around 55 to 60. I've heard about Chymoral AP and Myoril for his lower back pain, but I'm concerned if it's safe for him to take because of his heart condition. Could you please guide me on this?
Chymoral AP and Myoril can be risky for your father due to his history of stroke and bypass surgery, as well as his low heart rate. Chymoral AP contains Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, and Paracetamol which can increase the risk of bleeding, especially in patients with a history of stroke. Myoril contains Thiocolchicoside which can cause muscle weakness and dizziness, potentially increasing the risk of falls in someone with a history of stroke. Given his low heart rate, both medications can further lower the heart rate and blood pressure, leading to complications. It is important to consult with his healthcare provider to find a safer alternative for his lower back pain.

I'm a 29-year-old male and I've just got my blood pressure checked and it's 140100. Honestly, I dont feel any symptoms like having high blood pressure, but I thought I would look into it further. I did a lipid profile test as well, and here are the results: total cholesterol is 244, HDL is 54, LDL is 146, VLDL is 44, and triglycerides are 232. Am I in a position where I should consider starting medication for this? I'm kind of worried and I'd appreciate any advice you can give.
Based on your blood pressure reading and lipid profile results, it is important to take steps to manage your cardiovascular health. With your age and lipid profile results, it is advisable to start medication to help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. I recommend starting a statin medication such as Atorvastatin to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider starting an antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine to help manage your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring of your blood pressure and cholesterol levels while on these medications. Making lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking can also greatly benefit your cardiovascular health.
