I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. It was at 140100, so my doctor put me on Telma 20, taking it once a day. I've been on it for four days now, and today my blood pressure dropped to 10040. Is it safe to keep taking this medication?

View allIs a pacemaker a good option for my dad? He's 61 and had a heart attack in March. His lvef was 15 at the time, and he's also diabetic. I'm worried about his condition and wondering if a pacemaker would really help.
A pacemaker may be helpful in your father's condition, especially if he has a low ejection fraction (15%). In cases of heart attack and heart failure, a pacemaker can help regulate the heart's rhythm and improve its overall function. Additionally, since your father is diabetic, it is important to manage both conditions effectively. In this case, along with a pacemaker, medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics may also be prescribed to help improve heart function and manage diabetes. It is important for your father to follow a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and monitoring of blood sugar levels. Please consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan and to discuss the specific brand names and dosages of medications suitable for your father's condition.

I'm having some trouble with breathlessness and occasional chest pain. I got an ECG, and it came back normal, but a 2D echo showed mild concentric LVH with reduced diastolic compliance, grade 1. Everything else seemed fine. My hemoglobin is at 6.7, blood pressure at 16090, and pulse at 105. Cholesterol levels are total 149, triglycerides 94, HDL 55, and LDL 100. I also have some gastric issues, and the breathlessness feels better after I burp. Do you think this is something I should be worried about, or is it okay?
Given your symptoms of breathlessness and chest pain, the mild concentric LVH with reduced diastolic compliance noted in your 2D echo, high blood pressure of 16090, and significantly low hemoglobin level of 6.7, there are multiple areas needing attention. While your ECG and cholesterol levels are normal, the combination of LVH, hypertension, and anemia requires medical management. Addressing your anemia is crucial, as it can contribute to your breathlessness and fatigue. Managing your blood pressure through medication adjustments and lifestyle changes is also important. Since your breathlessness is relieved by burping, addressing any gastrointestinal issues such as acid reflux is necessary. Follow up with your cardiologist for ongoing monitoring and management of the LVH and reduced diastolic compliance.
