I'm really concerned because my blood pressure has been stuck at 150100 for a while, and I've been taking Cilicar T, Minipress XL, and D Veniz for the past two years. My doctor says I have essential hypertension after checking my kidneys, eyes, and everything. Should I be worried about this? Can you suggest ways to lower it? I'm also dealing with anxiety and it's kinda overwhelming... Really need some advice here.

Your blood pressure of 150100 indicates hypertension. Since you are already taking Cilicar T, Minipress XL, and D Veniz, your doctor has diagnosed you with essential hypertension. To further lower your blood pressure and manage your anxiety, you can consider adding Amlong (5mg) to your current medication regimen. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness meditation, can help reduce your anxiety levels and further improve your blood pressure control. Remember to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your blood pressure and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

View allI'm 23 and had some tests done recently where my ECG and ECHO came back normal, but my QRS duration was 98ms. I'm kind of worried about whether this might have any implications for my health in the future. Can you explain if this is something I should be concerned about?
QRS duration of 98ms is considered to be within normal limits for adults. It is unlikely to cause any issues in the future. No specific treatment is needed for this. Just continue to follow up with your healthcare provider for routine check-ups.

I've been keeping track of my blood pressure, and it usually falls between 130140 and 8090 over the last month. I'm not keen on starting any medication right now and wonder if I can get it back to normal with a healthy diet. I don't smoke or drink, and I sleep well. I weigh 86 kg and am working on getting it down below 75 kg. I'm thinking being overweight might be the only reason for my high BP since my sugar levels and kidney function are normal. I get mild headaches approximately once every two weeks. Do you think focusing on weight loss and diet could help stabilize my blood pressure?
Maintaining a healthy diet can definitely help in managing your blood pressure. In addition to a healthy diet, it is important to maintain a healthy weight and engage in regular physical activity. Since you are already working on reducing your weight, that is a positive step towards improving your blood pressure. While being overweight can contribute to high blood pressure, it is not the only factor. Other factors such as diet, physical activity level, stress, and genetics can also play a role in blood pressure levels. I get mild headache once in two weeks or so. Mild headaches can sometimes be associated with high blood pressure. However, it is important to monitor your headaches and consult with a healthcare professional if they become more frequent or severe. As you are not currently on any medication and prefer to manage your blood pressure through lifestyle changes, I recommend focusing on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Additionally, reducing your sodium intake can also help in managing blood pressure. Regular physical activity and stress management techniques can further support your efforts in maintaining a healthy blood pressure level.

Need some advice on cholesterol. I just got a master health checkup done and my results are a bit worrying. My total cholesterol is 200, HDL is 44, LDL is 150, and triglycerides are at 202. Is this considered too high? What steps can I take to reduce it, and how long might it take before I can check my cholesterol levels again?
Your total cholesterol level is slightly elevated, with high LDL and triglyceride levels. To help lower your cholesterol, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may prescribe medication to help lower your cholesterol levels. For example, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower your LDL cholesterol. Fish oil supplements can also help reduce triglyceride levels; you can take Lovaza 1 gram twice daily. It typically takes a few weeks to a few months to see significant changes in cholesterol levels after starting treatment. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. You can retest your cholesterol levels after about 3 months of starting treatment to see the effects of the interventions.
