I'm staying home due to the lockdown and have been checking my BP and heart pulse at home for the past four days. My BP is 105 over 572, and my heart pulse rate is 49. Should I be worried, and are there any precautions or steps I can take here at home?

Your BP is 10557 and your heart pulse rate is 49. Given your low blood pressure and heart rate, here are some precautions you can take at home: 1. Stay well-hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water. 2. Avoid sudden changes in position to prevent dizziness or fainting. 3. Consume a balanced diet rich in nutrients, including foods high in iron. 4. Engage in light physical activities to improve circulation. 5. Monitor your symptoms regularly and seek medical attention if you experience any concerning symptoms. 6. Consider consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. 7. Ensure you are getting enough rest and sleep to support your overall health.

I had an angiography and the doctor recommended bypass surgery but I don't have any pain right now and can manage my daily routine. However, I notice my breath gets heavy after walking 200-300 meters. Can you suggest a good doctor in Mira Road who specializes in this?

I'm really concerned about something and wanted to get your advice. I'm 61 and just had some tests done. They said my LV function is normal with an EF of 60 and no RWMA, but I have trivial MR and Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction with concentric LVH. The valves check out fine and there are no clots, vegetation, or pericardial effusion. My chamber dimensions are normal too. But when I did a stress TMT, it showed some significant ST changes in leads II, III, AVf, V4, V6, although I had no arrhythmia or chest pain, and my heart rate and blood pressure responded normally. Should I be worried about these ST changes? What does this all mean for my heart health?

Based on the information provided, it seems like the patient may be experiencing some significant ST changes in specific ECG leads without chest pain. In this case, the patient may benefit from medication to help manage their condition. The patient can be prescribed **Aspirin** 75mg daily to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Additionally, **Atorvastatin** 20mg can be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further cardiac issues. In addition to these medications, **Metoprolol** 25mg can be prescribed to help manage the patient's blood pressure and heart rate, especially in the presence of significant ST changes on ECG. It is important for the patient to follow up with their healthcare provider regularly to monitor their condition and adjust their treatment plan as needed.

I'm a bit worried about my wife. She's been having these severe chest pains on her left side early in the morning. It happened around 5 am today and before that, at 2 am. There's nothing else with it like radiating pain, jaw pain, trouble breathing, or sweating, but the pain is pretty intense. It usually happens once and then subsides. This has been going on for about 78 days now. Do you think it could be something serious or is it just a muscular thing?

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent
