I'm a 67-year-old who's been taking Revelol XL 50, but my blood pressure numbers always seem to hang around 15090. I've decided to switch to Concor 5 in hopes of getting them down to 12080. Is this a good move, and could you explain what I might expect during this transition?

View allI'm wondering about my QTc interval, which was 454ms on the EKG. Is this considered normal? I also have sinus arrhythmia and had a panic attack before but during that time, both the EKG and echocardiogram came out normal. Should I be worried about this, and is there anything specific I should do or ask my doctor?
Your QTc interval of 454ms is slightly prolonged, which may be related to your sinus arrhythmia. Since you have a history of panic attacks, it's important to monitor your QTc interval regularly. In this case, it would be advisable to avoid medications that can further prolong the QTc interval. I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.

I'm really worried about my moms blood pressure. Her reading came in at 171 over 105 and she's been struggling with it for months now. Are there any effective treatments or suggestions you might have to help manage it?
High blood pressure can be managed with lifestyle changes and medication. In this case, your mom may benefit from starting medication to lower her blood pressure. I recommend she consult with a doctor to get a prescription for medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) or Lisinopril (10mg) to help lower her blood pressure levels. Additionally, she should focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques to help control her blood pressure.
