I'm feeling concerned about my blood pressure and heart rate. Last year, my family doctor found my BP was as high as 183120, but my ECG and other tests like Lipid, Thyroid, KFT, LFT came back normal. I was on Vitabend T and Alprex 0.25 for about 78 days, made some changes to my diet, and my BP stayed around 12090, so I stopped the meds. But just last week, my BP shot up to 163110 with a heart rate of 124 BPM; after taking Vitabend T, it normalized again to about 11580. Now, Im experiencing pain in my left hand and my heart rate averages 100 BPM. Should I be worried about heart trouble? Sometimes I feel pain around the collar bone too, but theres no fatigue or breathing problems. What should I do?

Based on your symptoms and history of high blood pressure, it is important to consult a Cardiologist for further evaluation. The pain in your left hand and collar bone, along with an elevated heart rate, could be indicative of underlying heart issues that need to be addressed. The Cardiologist may recommend additional tests or adjustments to your current medication regimen. In the meantime, continue monitoring your blood pressure and heart rate regularly. It is important to prioritize your heart health and seek professional medical advice in this situation.

I'm really concerned about my blood pressure shooting up to 14090 all of a sudden. I've had high BP since I was 33, and now I'm 38. My weight is around 110 kg and I'm 5 feet 7 inches tall, so I know I'm quite obese. I stress out easily and can get pretty angry. There's been times I've broken stuff at home when my family doesnt listen to me. I had my heart checked by a cardiologist 1.5 years ago with an Echo and a TMT, and everything seemed fine, but my BP still spikes. I was initially prescribed Telma 40 mg, and now Im on Stamlo 5 mg daily. My heart rate jumps to 130 if I walk fast for just a kilometer. Is this normal? I'm also an asthma patient, and I find myself taking deep breaths a lot. Why do these sudden BP spikes and high heart rates happen to me?
Based on your description, it seems like you are experiencing episodes of sudden high blood pressure due to various factors such as obesity, stress, and possibly uncontrolled anger. The combination of these factors can contribute to spikes in blood pressure. It's good that you have been evaluated by a Cardiologist and have undergone tests to rule out any underlying heart issues. To help manage your blood pressure, you are currently taking Stamlo 5mg, which is a brand name for Amlodipine. This medication helps to relax the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and lowering blood pressure. In addition to this, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress through relaxation techniques or counseling, and addressing anger management. Regarding your heart rate reaching 130 beats per minute during physical activity, it can be considered normal for some individuals, especially if you are not used to regular exercise. However, since you are also an Asthma patient, it is important to monitor your heart rate during physical activity and consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any concerning symptoms. Overall, it is essential to continue taking your medication as prescribed, make necessary lifestyle modifications, and keep track of your blood pressure regularly. If you have any further concerns or if your symptoms persist, please consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.

I'm a bit worried because I've been having chest pain for the last two weeks. I just got my 2D echo report, and it says I have a mild prolapse of the anterior mitral leaflet. I'm not diabetic, I don't smoke, and I don't drink alcohol. Other than that, all the other results in the echo report seem to be normal. Should I be concerned about this? Could you please take a look at my reports and give me some advice?
Based on your description and the 2D echo report showing mild mitral valve regurgitation, I recommend starting treatment with a calcium channel blocker such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help with the chest pain and manage the mild regurgitation. Additionally, you can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to reduce the risk of any clot formation. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
