I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure being 14090. Is that considered high? I've just turned 30, weigh 72 kg, and Im already taking rozavel 10 for dyslipidemia. Should I get on some medication for this, or could lifestyle changes do the trick? I do exercise daily for 20 minutes and eat less outside food and salt. What do you think?

View allI'm really worried because I got my ECG done and it came back abnormal. The report mentions sinus tachycardia and right atrial enlargement. What does that mean exactly? Should I be concerned about this? My heart rate was really high at the time of the test, but my other tests, like thyroid and lipid profile, were normal. Can you help me understand what might be going on?
Hello sir, based on your description of the ECG findings showing sinus tachycardia and right atrial enlargement, along with the symptoms of high heart rate, it indicates that your heart is beating faster than normal and the right upper chamber of your heart is enlarged. Sinus tachycardia can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine, or certain medications. Right atrial enlargement can be a sign of heart conditions such as heart failure or lung disease. To address the sinus tachycardia, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily, which can help slow down your heart rate. For the right atrial enlargement, managing the underlying cause such as treating heart failure or lung disease is important. It is also essential to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about my blood pressure shooting up to 14090 all of a sudden. I've had high BP since I was 33, and now I'm 38. My weight is around 110 kg and I'm 5 feet 7 inches tall, so I know I'm quite obese. I stress out easily and can get pretty angry. There's been times I've broken stuff at home when my family doesnt listen to me. I had my heart checked by a cardiologist 1.5 years ago with an Echo and a TMT, and everything seemed fine, but my BP still spikes. I was initially prescribed Telma 40 mg, and now Im on Stamlo 5 mg daily. My heart rate jumps to 130 if I walk fast for just a kilometer. Is this normal? I'm also an asthma patient, and I find myself taking deep breaths a lot. Why do these sudden BP spikes and high heart rates happen to me?
Based on your description, it seems like you are experiencing episodes of sudden high blood pressure due to various factors such as obesity, stress, and possibly uncontrolled anger. The combination of these factors can contribute to spikes in blood pressure. It's good that you have been evaluated by a Cardiologist and have undergone tests to rule out any underlying heart issues. To help manage your blood pressure, you are currently taking Stamlo 5mg, which is a brand name for Amlodipine. This medication helps to relax the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and lowering blood pressure. In addition to this, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress through relaxation techniques or counseling, and addressing anger management. Regarding your heart rate reaching 130 beats per minute during physical activity, it can be considered normal for some individuals, especially if you are not used to regular exercise. However, since you are also an Asthma patient, it is important to monitor your heart rate during physical activity and consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any concerning symptoms. Overall, it is essential to continue taking your medication as prescribed, make necessary lifestyle modifications, and keep track of your blood pressure regularly. If you have any further concerns or if your symptoms persist, please consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.
