I'm a bit confused and concerned because I just got an EKG done, and the results say "borderline ECG." What exactly does that mean? Should I be worried about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Borderline ECG means that the results of your EKG are not definitively normal or abnormal. It suggests that there may be slight abnormalities in the electrical activity of your heart, but it is not conclusive. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.

View allI'm 28 and have been dealing with blood pressure readings around 15090. Lately, I've noticed a bit of heart pressure and irritation in my eyes. High blood pressure runs in my family; both my grandmother and father have it. I'm starting to get worried. Do you think I should be concerned?
Your blood pressure reading of 15090 is considered high and may require medical attention. Given your family history of high blood pressure, it is important to monitor and manage your blood pressure to reduce the risk of complications. To help lower your blood pressure, you can consider taking medication such as Losartan (50mg) once daily. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can also be beneficial in managing high blood pressure. For the pressure on the heart and eye irritation, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan.

I'm a 57-year-old man and I've just been diagnosed with high blood pressure. My doctor has prescribed telmisartan 40mg once daily. I'm wondering how long it might take for my blood pressure to get back to normal levels. Should I be concerned if there aren't any immediate changes?
It will take atleast 3-6 weeks .

I've been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and I've got a bit of trivial regurgitation. The doctors said I don't need any treatment for it, which is reassuring, but Ive been using minoxidil 5% for my baldness and sometimes I notice my heart beats a little faster. My cardiologist mentioned it's okay to use it, and my dermatologist also recommended it knowing these symptoms. Is it genuinely safe to keep using minoxidil in my situation? I'm just a bit worried about how it might affect my heart condition.
