I'm really worried about my mom. She's 55 and during her recent health check-up, the TMT showed she's mildly positive for inducible ischemia. Her report mentioned that she exercised for 8 minutes, reaching a maximum METS of 10, and her heart rate went from a resting 70 bpm to a max of 164 bpm, which is 99% of her predicted maximum for her age. Plus, her resting BP was 12078 mmHg and it went up to 15090 mmHg. Can you help me understand what all this means and how serious it might be?

View allI'm a bit concerned about what my recent echo showed. It mentioned something called Grade I diastolic dysfunction. Is this something normal that I shouldn't worry about or do I need to consider any treatment? Would really appreciate some guidance.

I'm kind of worried because all of a sudden my heart started racing, and when I went to the hospital, they checked my blood pressure and gave me these BP tablets. I've been taking them, but I'm wondering if I should keep taking them or if it's okay to stop. What should I do?
Sudden increase in heart rate can be concerning. It's important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider regarding the medication. If you were given medication for high blood pressure, it's important to continue taking it as prescribed. Stopping the medication abruptly can be harmful. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I'm a bit worried about my dad's blood pressure. He got it checked today just for a routine check-up and it was 144100. He's 53 and doesn't have any medical conditions. He's pretty active and walks 2 to 3 km every day. Is this blood pressure range okay for his age, or should he start taking medication to control it? What do you suggest?
Your father's blood pressure reading of 144100 mmHg is considered stage 2 hypertension, which is above the normal range for his age; given his active lifestyle and lack of underlying medical conditions, lifestyle modifications such as increasing physical activity, reducing sodium intake, and stress management should be attempted first, before considering medication
