I'm really worried because my wife's blood pressure is really low, and she's in a critical condition right now. Can you suggest some medicine that I can give her to help stabilize it? Any advice would be appreciated.

Low blood pressure, also known as hypotension, can be a serious condition. It is important to seek medical help immediately if your wife is in a critical condition due to low blood pressure. In the meantime, you can give her oral rehydration solutions to help maintain her fluid and electrolyte balance. Additionally, you can consider using Fludrocortisone at a dosage of 0.1-0.2 mg daily to help raise her blood pressure. However, please remember that these are temporary measures and she should still seek medical attention as soon as possible.

I'm 32 and just got my TMT test results back. It mentions VPC during exercise and after, and a positive chronotropic response. There's also a 1mm downsloping ST depression at peak exercise but it's normal at 3 min recovery. Should I be worried about any of this? Do I need to take any medication? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

TMT report suggests a negative TMT with VPC seen during exercise and at recovery of the test, along with a positive chronotropic response. The 1mm downsloping ST depression at the peak of exercise, which normalizes at 3 minutes of recovery, is also noted. Based on this report, there is no significant worrying problem identified. However, considering the findings, it would be advisable to start medication to manage the VPC and ST depression. You can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce the occurrence of VPCs. Additionally, you can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent any potential clot formation due to the ST depression observed during exercise. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing chest pain sometimes when I take deep breaths, and I also find myself getting out of breath when I'm walking or using the stairs. My cholesterol numbers came back with a total of 274, HDL at 49, and triglycerides at 193. I'm currently taking Storvas 20 and have been on it for about 20 days now. Can you advise on what steps I should take or if there's anything else I should be concerned about?

Based on your symptoms and cholesterol levels, it is important to continue taking Storvas 20 to help lower your cholesterol levels. In addition, you may benefit from adding an antiplatelet medication like Aspirin 75mg to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as following a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking if you smoke. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
