I'm looking at my echo report, and it mentions Grade 1 LVDD. I'm a bit worried. Is this something I should be concerned about? I've attached the echo file so you can take a look. Could you help me understand what this means?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Grade 1 LVDD (Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction) is a mild form of diastolic dysfunction where the left ventricle of the heart has slightly impaired relaxation. It is usually not considered a serious condition on its own, but it can progress to more severe forms if left untreated. Treatment usually involves managing underlying conditions such as high blood pressure or coronary artery disease. Without seeing the echo report, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

View allI'm 32 years old and recently had an ECG done for my ICL eye surgery. It's showing a heart rate between 120 to 127. I havent had any health issues or heart pain for the past five years, and I've been getting full body checks regularly since I was 27, which consistently show my heart rate in the 120 range. Is this something I should be really concerned about, and is it safe to go ahead with the ICL eye surgery? My report is attached. What should I do?
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

I'm really worried about my blood pressure. For the past two weeks, it's been extremely high, like in the Hypertensive Crisis range, reaching 190130 or 180120, even though I'm taking Telma CT 40. My test results, like the Echo, LFT, and KFT, are all normal. Why is my blood pressure still so high? What could be causing this?
It's concerning that your blood pressure remains high despite taking Telma CT 40. Since your test reports are normal, the high blood pressure may be due to uncontrolled hypertension or other underlying factors. In this situation, adding Amlodipine 5mg along with Telma CT 40 can help in better control of blood pressure. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and stress management can also play a crucial role in managing hypertension. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential.

Can drinking lots of water lower blood pressure?
Drinking water has role in blood pressure maintenance. When a person is dehydrated BP drops initially but later on kidneys reabsorbs more water rather than excreting in urine and vasopressin is released which constricts the blood vessels, both together can increase blood pressure. Hence, every person should drink at least 3 liters of water in a day to prevent dehydration and to maintain BP. One should also note that excess water intake should also be avoided which can put more stress on heart and cause fluid retention in the body.
