I'm really worried about my husband's recent health tests. He had an ECG and a 2D echo at Manipal hospitals as part of a health package. When we looked at the reports at home, we noticed that the Doppler study mentions a mitral flow ea and a tr jet at 2.7ms with a 30mm gradient. The doctors there didn't mention anything unusual, but this feels concerning. He's had high blood pressure for years but it's now under control with lifestyle changes and he's stopped taking medication recently. His cholesterol is also high, with a total of 222, HDL at 39, and LDL at 159. I'm not sure what steps to take next. Should we consider an angiogram?

I'm a 28-year-old male, and I've been told I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. It's been about a week now, and I'm starting to find that I'm having a bit of trouble with breathing and noticing my heartbeat more. Sometimes it feels like my heart skips a beat, and occasionally I feel like my heart is struggling to pump. What kind of diet and exercise would be good for my condition?
For grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, it is important to focus on a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise routine. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your diet. Limit your intake of sodium, saturated fats, and added sugars. Stay hydrated and avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption. For exercise, aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming. Additionally, include strength training exercises at least twice a week to improve overall cardiovascular health. As for your symptoms of difficulty in breathing, feeling your heartbeat, and heart palpitations, it is important to monitor your condition closely. If these symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure. I've been dealing with BP issues for the last 10 years and for the past 10 days, its been all over the place. Ive been on Amlosafe MT 50 for the last decade, and my doctor just added Telvas 3D to the mix three days ago. Seems like my BP has stabilized at 18080 since then, which is better than when it was fluctuating between 18097 and 16090. How long do you think itll take for my BP to get back to normal?
It is difficult to predict exactly how many days it will take for your blood pressure to become normal after starting Telvas 3D. However, typically you should see some improvement in your blood pressure within 1-2 weeks of starting the new medication. It is important to continue taking both Amlosafe MT 50 and Telvas 3D as prescribed by your doctor for the best results. If you do not see significant improvement in your blood pressure after a few weeks, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and possible adjustment of your medication dosage.
