I'm really worried because her blood pressure is staying high despite taking several medications. We've done all the tests, and everything seems fine except her LDL is a little high. What could be causing this, and what else can we do to help get her blood pressure under control?

High blood pressure that is not well controlled despite taking multiple medications can be challenging. In this case, adding a medication such as Amlodipine (5mg) can help lower blood pressure effectively. Additionally, for high LDL cholesterol, Atorvastatin (20mg) can be prescribed to help lower LDL levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. It is important to follow up with regular blood pressure and cholesterol monitoring to adjust the treatment as needed.

View allI've been feeling this annoying itchy sensation at the bottom of my heart, kind of towards the back, and it's been bugging me. I'm also always hungry and feeling this slight heartburn, which just adds to the discomfort. It's weird because I can't seem to breathe as deeply as I usually do. Could this be something serious? Should I be worried?

I've been having this weird pain and heaviness in my lower chest whenever Im alone, like when Im outside by myself or just at home. It starts after a while, and then I get this mild shortness of breath, and my pulse goes up to like 105. I had an X-ray, CT pulmonary angiogram, ECG, and 2D echo, but they all came back normal. Also, when I lie down, my feet feel really heavy. Any idea what's going on?

I'm 27 and dealing with a sugar problem, for which I'm taking Glimepiride and Metformin 11000sr tablets, two daily. Lately, I've noticed my blood pressure is 14090, and my pulse is around 92. I've also been experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest, so I decided to check my ECG. The results showed a sinus rhythm with a normal P axis and a ventricular rate between 50 and 99. There was also some ST elevation, which I've read could be a normal early repolarization pattern, but I'm still worried. The diagnostics mentioned "age 55" even though I'm only 27. Could this be a mistake, or is it something I need to be concerned about? I would appreciate any insight or advice you could give me.
I am sorry to hear about your health concerns. It seems like you are experiencing some cardiac symptoms along with your existing medical conditions. Based on the information you provided, you are currently taking Glimipride and Metformin for your sugar problem. Since you have mentioned that you are experiencing chest pain and have abnormal ECG findings, it is important to address your elevated blood pressure as well. I would recommend that you consult with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and management. In the meantime, to help manage your blood pressure, you can consider taking Amlodipine 5mg once daily. This medication can help lower your blood pressure and reduce the strain on your heart. Additionally, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, and engaging in regular physical activity. Please continue to monitor your symptoms closely and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance and management.
