I'm really concerned about my daughter's health. She's 30 and works in IT as a software engineer. Lately, she's been experiencing a lot of laziness, and I'm worried because she always has low blood pressure, less than 10070. Is this something we should be worried about, or can low BP just vary from person to person?

Low blood pressure (less than 10070 mmHg) can be normal for some individuals and may not cause any symptoms. However, if your daughter is experiencing symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, or frequent laziness, it could be due to her low blood pressure or other underlying conditions. Its important to evaluate potential causes, such as dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or even the effects of a sedentary lifestyle associated with her IT job. Encouraging her to stay hydrated, maintain a balanced diet, and incorporate regular physical activity can help. If her symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions and provide personalized advice.

View allI'm a bit worried because my ECG showed a small variation, and now my doctor wants me to have an ECHO done. The thing is, I'm in a remote area, and getting to the city for the ECHO will take some effort. Do you think it's okay if I wait and get the ECHO done in about 10 days, or should I try to do it sooner?
If your doctor has recommended an ECHO after observing a small variation in your ECG, it is important to follow up with the ECHO test as advised. However, if you are in a remote location and unable to travel to the city for the ECHO immediately, it should be okay to schedule the ECHO after 10 days. Make sure to keep in touch with your doctor regarding any changes in your symptoms during this period.

I've recently been paying attention to my heart rate and I'm not really sure if it's normal or not. Right as I was about to fall asleep, I checked my Apple Watch and saw my heart rate was around 50-60 bpm. Sometimes it speeds up quickly even though I don't work out much. I think maybe I'm dealing with anxiety or exam stress. Is this kind of thing normal?
Just as you were falling asleep, a heart rate of 50-60 bpm is within the normal range for adults at rest. However, if you are experiencing rapid increases in heart rate due to anxiety or stress, you may benefit from a beta-blocker medication like Propranolol. The usual dosage for anxiety is 20-40mg taken 3-4 times daily. It can help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heart rate.

I'm really worried about my mom. Her blood pressure this morning was 16090, and she's gained 45 kgs in the last 7 months. She doesn't show any other symptoms, but should I be concerned? Do you think she should start on any medication, or is there something else I should do? I'm planning to keep track of her blood pressure from now on. What would you recommend?
High blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. Given your mother's blood pressure reading of 16090, it is considered high and should be monitored closely. Since she has also gained weight recently, it is important to address this as well to help lower her blood pressure. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium and saturated fats, and weight loss if needed. Additionally, she can start taking an antihypertensive medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower her blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and monitoring.
