I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure readings over the past two days. They've been around 10476, 11076, 10583, and 10366. This started after I switched my medication from Metoprolol 50 mg to Tazloc CT 406.25 about 10 days ago. Are these readings considered low? Could you please tell me what would be considered low blood pressure?

The blood pressure readings you have provided are within the normal range. Low blood pressure is typically considered to be a systolic pressure less than 90 mmHg and a diastolic pressure less than 60 mmHg. Since your readings are consistently above these values, your blood pressure is not considered low. Regarding the medication change from metoprolol to tazloc CT-406.25, it seems to be working well for you as your blood pressure readings are within the normal range. Keep monitoring your blood pressure regularly and consult your doctor if you have any concerns

View allI'm a 59-year-old female and recently experienced some pain in my left hand. I went to see the doctor, and he took an EKG. He then recommended an angiogram. Could you explain what an angiogram is and why it might be necessary for me? Should I be worried about this procedure?
The symptoms you are experiencing, along with the recommendation for an angiogram, suggest that your doctor may suspect a heart-related issue. The EKG and angiogram are common tests used to diagnose heart problems. It is important to follow your doctor's advice for further evaluation and treatment. For the left hand pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help manage the discomfort. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. If you experience any worsening of symptoms or new symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, seek medical attention immediately.

I was just told I have bradycardia, but my symptoms seem to be getting worse over time. I've been feeling really nauseous and light-headed, and I notice weakness, shortness of breath, painful headaches, and even high blood pressure. I'm curious about how serious my bradycardia is. My pulse usually sits around 45-58, but whenever my blood pressure spikes up to around 14599, my pulse jumps to 85 before it settles back down. Could there be something specific causing all of this? It's been three months, and instead of getting better, it seems to be getting worse. Should I be doing something right away about it?
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of bradycardia along with other concerning symptoms such as nausea, lightheadedness, weakness, shortness of breath, headaches, and high blood pressure. The fluctuation in your pulse rate from 45-58 to 85 is also concerning. Bradycardia can be serious, especially when accompanied by these symptoms. One possible cause of your symptoms could be a heart condition affecting the electrical signals that control your heart rate. It is important to seek medical attention immediately given the severity and duration of your symptoms. You should go to the emergency room or seek urgent medical care to have a thorough evaluation, including an ECG to assess your heart rhythm, blood tests, and possibly other cardiac tests. Based on your symptoms and the seriousness of the situation, the healthcare provider may prescribe medications such as Atropine or Epinephrine to increase your heart rate and stabilize your condition. In some cases, a pacemaker may be necessary to regulate your heart rate. It is crucial to address these symptoms promptly to prevent any potential complications. Please seek medical help without delay.

I'm a bit concerned about the variation in my heart rates. My sleeping heart rate is around 55 bpm, while my resting heart rate falls between 80-100 bpm. When I wake up, it usually ranges from 100-120 bpm, and during brisk walking, it goes up to between 130-160 bpm. I'm 26 years old, have a healthy BMI at 22.5, my cholesterol levels are where they should be, and my blood pressure and echocardiogram results are normal. Is it normal for my heart rate to vary this much?
Having variations in heart rate throughout the day is normal, especially in response to different activities and stress levels. However, if you are concerned about the wide range of heart rates you are experiencing, you may consider taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce fluctuations. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.
