I'm dealing with anxiety from last year, and recently I found out I have high blood pressure. The doctor ran an ECG and said I have left ventricular hypertrophy. I'm on medication for hypertension now. Should I be worried about this left ventricular hypertrophy? I'd love some guidance on this.

"Left ventricular hypertrophy is a serious condition as it indicates that the muscle of the heart's main pumping chamber has thickened. It can be caused by conditions like hypertension. It is important to manage both your anxiety and hypertension to prevent further complications. In addition to your hypertension medication, your doctor may prescribe medications like beta-blockers or ACE inhibitors to help manage left ventricular hypertrophy. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your doctor are crucial in managing this condition."

View allI've been having this strange sensation on the left side of my chest, kind of like a needle prick. I got an ECG done, and it was normal, which is a relief, but my doctor put me on Provonal Forte. I'm just wondering, could this be some kind of chest infection or maybe anxiety acting up?
The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to anxiety or nerve-related issues. Provanol forte tablet is likely prescribed to help with chest discomfort and anxiety symptoms. However, if you are still feeling needle pricking sensations in your chest, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Paracetamol for pain relief as needed.

My brother has been having chest pain so we got a CT angiography done as advised by the doctor. Can you check the report and tell us if there's any blockage and whether he might need heart surgery? We're really worried and would appreciate your advice.
kindly share report
