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'm a bit confused and worried after seeing my recent health checkup report. It mentions Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, but everything else like chamber dimension, RWMA, and LV systolic function looks normal. The report also notes trivial MR and TR, with no PAH, clot, or vegetation, and my EF is 70. Can you help me understand what Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction really means and if there's anything I should do about it?

I'm a bit concerned because I've been managing my blood pressure and diabetes for a while. I used to take lobet 100mg and alphadopa 500mg twice a day for a month, but I stopped the BP meds two months ago because I was feeling dizzy and had blurred vision. My BP readings were fine after that, but lately, I've been getting mild headaches, and today my BP was 160100. I've been advised to see a doctor. I'm worried about whether starting BP medication again after the consultation might cause any issues. Could you please give me some guidance on this?
It is important to manage your blood pressure to prevent complications. Since you have a history of experiencing giddiness and blurred vision with your previous medication, it is crucial to consult your doctor before starting any new medication. Your doctor may prescribe a different class of antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily or Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure without causing the same side effects. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your doctor are essential to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the new medication.
