I'm a 43-year-old guy, and I've been dealing with some chest pain, so I had an echocardiogram done. They found grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. My blood pressure's been a bit off too; usually, the systolic pressure is between 120 and 126, but the diastolic is always around 90 to 96. I've also been taking Roseday 10mg for a few months since my LDL cholesterol was slightly above the borderline. I'm really curious if I should be on any medication for my blood pressure and if I should be concerned about this diastolic dysfunction thing. Does it get worse over time?

Consider medication for high diastolic BP, especially since its consistently elevated. Continue your current medication (Roseday) for cholesterol management, but ensure your BP is addressed as well. Be proactive about lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise, and stress management. Regularly monitor your heart function and consult your cardiologist for any necessary adjustments.

View allI'm really concerned about my sister's ultrasound report. It shows she has dilated cardiomyopathy and severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction with an EF of 33. She's also got severe pulmonary artery hypertension and an RVSP of 78 mmHg. The doctor mentioned there's no surgery option. Can you shed some light on what treatment options might be available for her situation?
As her ejection fraction is low she is not fit for surgery and needs to be on medications and absolute bed rest untill EF improves,follow your doctors advice

I'm dealing with a high blood pressure issue of 16090. I've been taking Telmi AM, but it doesn't seem like my pressure is going down. Do you think it would be okay for me to switch to Telmi AMH? And if so, what would be the recommended dosage and how long should I be on it?
Telmi AMH can be used as an alternative medication for high blood pressure. The usual dosage for Telmi AMH is 405 mg once daily. It is important to take it regularly at the same time each day. The duration of treatment with Telmi AMH should be determined by your doctor based on your individual condition

I've been taking medication for high blood pressure and I'm just wondering what the normal range for blood pressure should be. Can you give me some advice on this?
The normal range for blood pressure values is typically around 12080 mmHg. For individuals on antihypertensive medication, the target blood pressure may vary slightly based on individual health conditions and guidance from your healthcare provider. Generally, maintaining a blood pressure below 13080 mmHg is often recommended to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. It's important to regularly monitor your blood pressure and follow your doctor's advice on medication and lifestyle changes to keep it within the target range.
