I'm really worried because my wife's blood pressure was already high at 160100, and she's just started taking Metosartan 50 mg this morning. But now her blood pressure has spiked even higher to 180113. Plus, she's got a headache and chest congestion. Could you help me understand why her BP might be going up despite the medication?

It is possible that her body is still adjusting to the new medication. However, these symptoms could also be indicative of a hypertensive crisis. I recommend seeking immediate medical attention to address her elevated blood pressure. Additionally, it is important to monitor her symptoms closely and follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI've had a 2D echo and a stress test done, and both came back normal. Does this mean I'm in the clear from having a heart attack, or is there still a risk?

I'm really concerned because over the last three months, I've been noticing that my heart occasionally skips a beatit happens about an hour a day. My blood pressure is also around 14090. I've had some tests done, like an echo and a Holter monitor, and my doctor mentioned something about trivial mitral regurgitation. Should I be worried about this and the skipped heartbeats? What does all of this mean for my heart health?
Trivial mitral regurgitation is a common finding and usually does not cause any symptoms or require treatment. As for the skipped heart beats, if they are occasional and not causing any other symptoms, they may not be concerning. However, since you are experiencing them frequently, it would be best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to manage your symptoms by reducing stress and anxiety. If your doctor deems it necessary, they may prescribe medications such as beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help regulate your heart rate and blood pressure. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for further management.

I've been on Nebicard 5 mg for about three years and I'm also taking Ciplar, Serta, and Etizola for anxiety and panic attacks as my psychiatrist prescribed. I have mild MVP and I'm really concerned about whether taking Nebicard and Ciplar together might cause any problems. Plus, I'm experiencing random episodes of excessive sweating. Could this be linked to my MVP or is it just part of my anxiety? I'm worried and would appreciate any insight you might have.
normal.
