I'm concerned about my blood pressure, which is reading quite high at 150100. The thing is, I don't really feel stressed or have any other symptoms like dizziness or weakness. I've always had a pretty sedentary lifestyle, but I've started going for morning walks. Do you think that could help bring my BP down to a normal level?

It's good that you have started morning walks to improve your lifestyle. Along with regular exercise, it's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly. In addition to physical activity, you can also consider incorporating a low-sodium diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If your blood pressure remains high, your doctor may recommend medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower it. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are essential to manage your blood pressure effectively.

View allI've been dealing with high BP for about 8 months now. I was taking Stamlo 5 but it didn't really get it under control. So last month, I added Telma 20 to the mix and it's helped a bit with the numbers, which are now around 180185. But lately, I've been having these episodes where I can't catch my breath for a few seconds, and it feels like my heart suddenly skips a beat. It's kind of worrying and I'm not really sure what's going on. Could this be related to my medication or is it something else?
Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

My mom has a 28 mm hole in her heart. Can the immune system heal this naturally, or is surgery necessary? I'm also curious whether treatments like Ayurveda might help. What do you suggest?
A 28 mm hole in the heart, likely referring to a congenital defect such as an atrial septal defect (ASD) or a ventricular septal defect (VSD), typically requires medical intervention. This size of a defect is unlikely to close on its own and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Surgery or a catheter-based procedure is usually required to close such a large defect. Ayurveda or other alternative therapies are not effective for treating structural heart defects. It's crucial to consult with a cardiologist to discuss the appropriate treatment options for your mother
