I'm feeling really anxious about the possibility of a cardiac arrest. I've had an EKG and an echo, and both came back normal, but I'm still worried. Are there any other tests you think I should consider to be on the safe side?

View allI'm really worried about Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. If someone finds out they have it early on, can it be treated even if it can't be completely cured? What kind of problems might the person face, and how does it affect their chances of living a full life?
If Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is detected at an early stage, it can be managed effectively to improve symptoms and prevent complications. Medications such as beta blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) or calcium channel blockers (e.g. Verapamil) may be prescribed to help relax the heart muscle and improve blood flow. In some cases, antiarrhythmic medications like Amiodarone may be used to control abnormal heart rhythms. In addition to medications, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and avoiding excessive alcohol intake are important in managing Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. In more severe cases, procedures like septal myectomy or alcohol septal ablation may be recommended to relieve symptoms and improve heart function. Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy may face issues such as shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, dizziness, and an increased risk of abnormal heart rhythms or sudden cardiac arrest. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed. With proper management and adherence to treatment, the survival chances for patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy can be good. However, it is important for patients to stay compliant with their medications, follow a healthy lifestyle, and attend regular medical appointments to optimize their long-term outcomes.

I'm getting really worried because my BP has been consistently at 160 over 120, even after taking the telmisartan and amlodipine 5 mg tablets. What could be happening, and why isn't my blood pressure going down?
Get yourself evaluated for resistant hypertension. Get basic workup also done
