I'm noticing that my blood pressure readings are different in each arm. The left side shows 90160, while the right is 80125. Could you tell me which one is correct? Also, my lipid and sugar levels are normal, and I feel okay when I walk around, but I still feel anxious. What should I do?

It is recommended to consider the blood pressure reading from the right hand (80125) as it is lower and more accurate. To manage anxiety, you can take a medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 0.5mg as needed. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI've just gotten my blood test results back, and I'm a bit worried because my HDL cholesterol level is pretty low at 29 mgdl. Plus, my TCHDL cholesterol ratio is 5.2. Could you tell me what this means and how I might improve these numbers?
Low HDL cholesterol levels can increase the risk of heart disease. To improve your HDL cholesterol levels and lower your TCHDL cholesterol ratio, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and avoiding smoking can also help improve your cholesterol levels.

I'm noticing that my resting heart rate is between 90 and 110, and it's got me feeling a bit anxious about my heart health. I had a Holter monitor test done a year ago, and everything seemed normal then. Is this range something I should be concerned about now?

I'm looking at my husband's ECG report, and it's got me a bit worried. It shows a heart rate of 77 bpm, with P at 97 ms, PR at 132 ms, QRS at 90 ms, and QTQTc at 357406 ms. Then it also says something about sinus rhythm, high voltage, and left ventricle. Does this all sound normal to you, or should we be rushing to the doctor? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.
The report indicates high voltage in the left ventricle. Based on the information provided, the ECG findings suggest a normal sinus rhythm with high voltage in the left ventricle. There is no need for immediate doctor consultation based on this report. If your husband has any symptoms or concerns, it is advisable to follow up with his healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."
