I'm really worried about my 4-year-old who has a 2mm PDA hole in their heart. If we wait another six months before doing a device closure, what kind of impact could that have?

What does a bpm of 106 mean on an ECG test? Should I be really worried about this? Everything else seems to be in the normal range.
A bpm of 106 in an ECG test indicates a heart rate of 106 beats per minute. This heart rate is slightly above the normal range of 60-100 beats per minute, but it may not necessarily be a big concern, especially if other parameters on the ECG are within normal range. However, it is important to monitor your heart rate and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management if needed.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been managing my blood pressure and diabetes for a while. I used to take lobet 100mg and alphadopa 500mg twice a day for a month, but I stopped the BP meds two months ago because I was feeling dizzy and had blurred vision. My BP readings were fine after that, but lately, I've been getting mild headaches, and today my BP was 160100. I've been advised to see a doctor. I'm worried about whether starting BP medication again after the consultation might cause any issues. Could you please give me some guidance on this?
It is important to manage your blood pressure to prevent complications. Since you have a history of experiencing giddiness and blurred vision with your previous medication, it is crucial to consult your doctor before starting any new medication. Your doctor may prescribe a different class of antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily or Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure without causing the same side effects. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your doctor are essential to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the new medication.
