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 20 and was diagnosed with hypertension a couple of years back. With the chaos of COVID, my schedule was kind of all over the place, so I ended up taking my blood pressure meds around 2 in the afternoon. Whenever I check, my BP seems to hover around 13080 or 85. Is this considered controlled? Also, is it okay for me to start taking my BP meds after breakfast instead? I've always been under the impression that the effects of these pills only last about 12 hours, and then my BP might rise after that. I'm also undergoing psychiatric treatment and currently on metoprolol and amlodipine since my doctor stopped the telmisartan when COVID hit. Could you help me out here?

Your blood pressure reading of 13080-85 is within the normal range, but it is on the higher side of normal. To further control your blood pressure, you can consider taking your medications in the morning after breakfast. Metoprolol and amlodipine are commonly used to treat hypertension. You can take Metoprolol 50mg once daily in the morning after breakfast and Amlodipine 5mg once daily in the morning after breakfast as well. These medications work effectively to help lower your blood pressure throughout the day. It's important to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for any adjustments in your treatment plan. Additionally, make sure to adhere to a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, to further support your blood pressure control.

I'm feeling really confused and worried. Last year, my echocardiogram showed diastolic dysfunction, but when I did it again this year, it showed everything was fine with no sign of it. I'm trying to understand if diastolic dysfunction can reverse itself? I read online that it usually happens to older people, but I'm not that old and my blood pressure, sugar, and thyroid levels are all normal. Why did this happen to me, and should I be worried about it?

Your present echocardiogram is normal, previous report may reflect your clinical condition on that time. At present your reports are within normal limits.

My sister has been feeling sick and weak for months, with chest pain and nausea. It got worse yesterday, so we took her to the hospital. They did an ECG, echo, and chest X-ray. Her echo report shows she has grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I read this is related to heart failure, but the doctor discharged her, saying everything's fine. Is there something more we should know? Could the doctor be keeping something from us?

Thats unusual at her age but it is reversible,ask her to have a healthy life style good foofd and adequate rest,follow your doctors advice
