I'm a bit concerned because my diastolic pressure keeps hitting around or sometimes over 100, while my systolic pressure is almost always under 130, only rarely going above that. Is this something I should be worried about? Does this mean I'm a BP patient now? Also, I'm really interested in knowing if there's a natural way to manage this without having to rely on tablets. What can I do?

I'm a bit confused and worried about my latest ECG results. It showed a borderline and incomplete right bundle branch block. This wasn't even brought up when I went to the ER; I only noticed it when I looked at my test results later. Should I be concerned about it? What does it really mean for my health?

yes it is a concern immediate cardiologist opinion is required.

I'm planning to do a treadmill stress test soon, and I'm a bit nervous about what blood pressure and pulse rate levels are considered too high or too low during the test. Also, what does it mean if the test results come back as TMT positive or negative? I'm trying to understand what I should be looking out for.

During a treadmill test, the allowed blood pressure level is usually below 200110 mmHg. The allowed pulse rate can vary depending on age, but generally should not exceed 85% of the maximum predicted heart rate for the individual's age. A TMT (Treadmill Test) is considered positive if there is significant ST segment depression on the ECG during or after exercise, indicating possible coronary artery disease. It is considered negative if there are no significant ECG changes during the test, suggesting a lower likelihood of coronary artery disease.
