I'm sitting here with a blood pressure of around 130100. Should I go for a walk, or is it better if I just rest for now since it might go up when I'm active? I'm not sure what's the best thing to do in this situation.

It is generally safe to go for a walk with a blood pressure of 130100. Physical activity can actually help lower blood pressure. However, it is important to start with a gentle walk and monitor how you feel. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, stop and rest. If you are on medication for high blood pressure, make sure to take it as prescribed

View allMy uncle has been diagnosed with incomplete RBBB and I'm just wondering how serious that is and what we should do about it. He's also been taking Tolol XL 25 mg for the past 10 years. Should he be worried or consider any specific treatments?
Incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) is a condition where the electrical impulses in the heart are delayed or blocked in the right bundle branch. It is important to monitor this condition regularly as it can sometimes progress to a complete block. In most cases, Incomplete RBBB does not cause symptoms and does not require specific treatment. However, it is important for your uncle to have regular follow-ups with a cardiologist to monitor his heart health. Regarding the medication Tolol XL 25mg that your uncle has been taking for 10 years, it is a brand name for Metoprolol XL. This medication is a beta-blocker that is commonly used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain, and heart failure. The dosage of 25mg is a common starting dose for Metoprolol XL. It is important for your uncle to continue taking this medication as prescribed by his doctor. Regular follow-ups with a cardiologist, monitoring of the Incomplete RBBB, and continued use of Metoprolol XL as prescribed are important steps in managing your uncle's heart health.

I take Tazloc Trio 40 mg in the morning right after breakfast, and I've noticed that about 10-15 minutes later, when I start driving to work, I get this drowsy feeling. It's a bit concerning, especially because I do an intense workout on my bike for an hour before breakfast, and my heart rate is usually around 145-150 bpm. Sometimes I don't sleep well at night because of restless legs, but I still push myself to cycle every morning before taking my medication. My blood pressure used to be pretty high at 160120, and my doctor switched me from CETANIL M 50 to Tazloc Trio. Could this drowsiness be related to the medication or my morning routine? What should I do about it?

I'm really worried about whether cardiophobia could actually lead to a heart attack. I've been dealing with this fear since last year. I did a TMT test back then, and everything came back normal, but I'm still having chest pain and feeling really fatigued. Should I be concerned about these symptoms?
"Cardiophobia, which is the fear of heart disease, can cause symptoms such as chest pain and fatigue due to anxiety and stress. It is important to manage your anxiety to alleviate these symptoms. In your case, since you have already done a TMT test last year which was normal, it is less likely that your symptoms are due to a heart attack. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for a proper evaluation and management plan. In the meantime, you can consider taking an anxiolytic medication such as lorazepam at a low dose of 0.5mg to help with your anxiety symptoms."
