Question 1

I'm really worried about my aunt who's dealing with hypertension. Her blood pressure was really high at 190110 during her echo testing. The echo report mentioned things like AO 30mm, LA 40mm, EF 60%, and LVIDd 40mm, among others. She was diagnosed with CVH and grade 1 LVDD. I've heard CVH can be reversible with long-term control of blood pressure. The doctor has prescribed meds, and now her BP is down to 13185. I'm just trying to understand if her condition is mild, moderate, or severe. Can you help me make sense of all this?

Accepted Answer

Based on the information provided, your aunt's CVH (Cardiovascular Hypertension) condition is concerning due to her high blood pressure of 190110. However, with proper management and the prescribed blood pressure tablets, her current blood pressure of 13185 is within a better range. To help control her blood pressure and potentially improve her CVH, the doctor may have prescribed medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) and Lisinopril (10mg) to be taken daily. These medications can help lower blood pressure and reduce the strain on the heart. In terms of the severity of her CVH, it is considered mild at this stage with grade 1 LVDD (Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction). With continued management of her blood pressure and overall health, there is a possibility that the CVH can be reversible over time. Remember to monitor her blood pressure regularly, take the prescribed medications as directed, follow a healthy lifestyle, and attend follow-up appointments with her doctor for further evaluation and management of her condition.

Question 2

I'm really worried because my blood pressure has been reading 150100 three times, and I've been taking Ozotel H as my doctor prescribed. I've been on the medication for the last three days, but I haven't seen any improvement in the readings yet. The doctor advised me to wait another two to three days, but I'm scared about the possibility of having to take medication for the rest of my life. I lead an active lifestyle, exercise daily, and there's no family history of high BP. I weigh 70 kg, am 5'7", and am 33 years old. Is there anything else I can do to lower my blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

It seems like you are experiencing high blood pressure while taking antibiotics for your cold. Ozotel H is a combination medication that contains Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Since your blood pressure readings have not decreased significantly after three days of taking Ozotel H, it is important to follow your doctor's advice to wait for another two to three days. In addition to medication, lifestyle modifications can also help in managing high blood pressure. Since you are already doing daily exercise, continue with your exercise routine as it can help lower blood pressure. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If your blood pressure readings do not improve or if you have any concerns, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm experiencing some pain right in the middle of my chest, and I was initially thinking it was because of a cough, but now I'm not so sure. Should I be worried? It's really concerning, and I'd like to understand what might be causing this if it's not related to coughing. Could it be something more serious? Any advice would be really helpful.
