I'm a bit worried about my recent ECG results that show IRBBB, but my 2D echo came back normal. I don't have any family history of heart disease, so I'm wondering if my heart's in good shape. Is it okay for me to hit the gym regularly? I already walk more than 10,000 steps a day and jog for about 5 minutes.

based on your description of having an Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block (IRBBB) on ECG but a normal 2D echo and no family history of heart disease, it is likely that your heart is healthy and normal. IRBBB itself may not necessarily indicate a heart abnormality, especially if the 2D echo is normal. You can continue with your daily activities like walking more than 10K steps and 5 minutes of jogging. However, if you have any concerns or symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness during exercise, it is advisable to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation. As a precautionary measure, you can consider taking low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

View allI'm trying to figure out which medication I should take to get my blood pressure under control. I'm 105 kgs and 6 feet tall. My blood pressure reading is 140 over 80, and I'm wondering if that's considered severe. Could you recommend something for immediate relief?
To get your blood pressure under control, considering your weight and height, you can start with a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. This medication helps to relax the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. A blood pressure reading of 14080 is considered prehypertension, and it is important to take steps to lower it to prevent it from becoming high blood pressure.

I'm a bit puzzled about my blood pressure readings. I got a TMT, ECG, and blood tests for my heart, and everything came back normal. But sometimes when I check my BP, the first reading is 15090, and then right after, it drops to 13090. It's happened a couple of times. Why could this be happening?
Sometimes, blood pressure readings can vary due to factors such as stress, anxiety, or even the environment in which the measurement is taken. This is known as white coat hypertension. To help manage this issue, you can try practicing relaxation techniques before getting your blood pressure checked. Additionally, you may consider taking medication like Amlodipine 5mg to help regulate your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm concerned about my husband's medication for high blood pressure. He's taking Minipress XL and Eslo At, but I'm confused about whether these should be taken before or after meals. His blood pressure is usually around 160110, but after taking the meds, it drops to 12585, and then he feels weak. Is that a normal reaction?
