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.

I've been experiencing this strange body shake with every heartbeat, and its been going on for about four months now. I've had an echo and an ECG, both of which came back normal. But I can still see my fingers, hand, stomach, and even my head shake with each heartbeat. It's really puzzling me. What could be causing this?

I was recently told I have mitral valve regurgitation with trivial mitral regurgitation, and I'm really worried about how long it might take for this to get worse, like to a moderate or severe level. Do most people with this condition experience a worsening over time, and how common is it for it to progress? I'm finding it hard to concentrate on anything else because I'm so anxious about it. Can you help clarify this for me?
