I'm concerned about my blood pressure; it's around 140 over 88. I'm wondering what precautions I should take? Also, what should I include in my diet? And could you recommend some exercises I should consider? I'm 184 cm tall and weigh 80 kg.

To help lower your blood pressure, you should focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Start by incorporating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting your intake of saturated fats, cholesterol, and sodium. Consider the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet as a guide. Additionally, engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. Aim to achieve and maintain a healthy weight by combining a balanced diet with exercise. It's also important to manage stress levels, get an adequate amount of quality sleep, and limit alcohol consumption. In terms of medication, if lifestyle modifications are not sufficient, you may need to consult a healthcare provider for prescription antihypertensive medications

View allI'm a 24-year-old woman weighing 37kg and my resting heart rate is usually between 120-130bpm, sometimes going up to 134bpm. This has been happening for the past 5 years but I don't have any other health issues or discomfort because of it. Should I be worried about this high heart rate? Could it be dangerous or lead to problems later? I really don't want surgery can this be managed with medicines instead? Does homeopathy work for something like this?
A consistently high resting heart rate (over 100 bpm) like yours (120-130 bpm) should be investigated by a doctor. While it might not be immediately dangerous, it could indicate an underlying issue that needs attention, and can potentially lead to complications later. Medications are often used to manage high heart rate, and homeopathy is not a reliable or scientifically proven treatment for such conditions, according to the Mayo Clinic and the British Heart Foundation.

I'm experiencing some mild chest pain, back pain, and lightheadedness occasionally. Ive done an ECG, 2D Echo, and TMT. The cardiologist said my heart is fine and prescribed me T.

Could you take a look and let me know what you think?

I'm 32 and recently had an ECG done for ICL eye surgery my heart rate was around 120-127. I don't have any health issues, heart pain, or abnormalities, and my full-body checks since 27 always show a heart rate in the 120 range. Is this a serious problem, and can I still go ahead with the ICL surgery? I've attached my report for reference.
You have a consistently high heart rate around 120 range for the past 5 years without any health issues or abnormalities. This may be normal for you, especially if you are physically active or have a naturally high heart rate. However, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your elevated heart rate to ensure it is not due to any underlying medical condition. Considering you are planning to proceed with ICL eye surgery, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to assess your heart health and determine if any further investigations or treatment are necessary before undergoing the surgery. The cardiologist may recommend medications such as Metoprolol to help lower your heart rate if needed. It is important to address any potential cardiac issues before proceeding with surgery to ensure your safety and well-being
