I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 14090 is considered normal? Also, there's been this regular body pain happening. What kind of checkups would you recommend for that?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Blood Pressure (BP) Value: 14090*
This BP value is considered elevated, but not severely high. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), a normal BP value is:
- Systolic (top number): Less than 120 mmHg
- Diastolic (bottom number): Less than 80 mmHg
A BP value of 14090 falls into the category of "elevated blood pressure," which means your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes and monitoring to prevent further increases.
Regular Body Pain
To address regular body pain, your doctor may recommend the following checkups:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): To rule out underlying infections or inflammatory conditions.
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): To measure inflammation in the body.
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test: To assess inflammation and potential underlying conditions.
- Thyroid Function Tests (TFTs): To rule out hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which can cause body pain.
- Vitamin D levels: To check for deficiencies, which can contribute to body pain.
- Imaging tests (e.g., X-rays, ultrasound): To rule out underlying musculoskeletal conditions.

View allI've been having this subtle pain and discomfort around my ribs, and it's really starting to give me anxiety and hypertension. I've already done an ECG, TST, and some blood tests, but everything came back normal. I've seen a couple of doctors, and they mentioned it's probably related to rib pain, but it feels more serious to me. Is there any specific X-ray or test I should be looking into?

I'm really worried after getting my recent heart test results. It mentioned ischemic heart disease and moderate LV systolic dysfunction with an LVEF of 44. There was also something about RWMA being present and hypokinesia in the LCX territory. What does all that really mean for my heart health? How serious is this, and what should I be doing next?
Ischemic heart disease with moderate LV systolic dysfunction, LVEF 44%, and RWMA present along with hypokinesia seen in the LCX territory can be managed with medications such as: - Aspirin 75-150mg daily - Clopidogrel 75mg daily - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25-50mg twice daily - ACE Inhibitors like Lisinopril 2.5-5mg daily - Statins like Atorvastatin 20-40mg daily These medications can help improve heart function and reduce the risk of further complications.

I'm just a bit worried about my dad. He's 73 and back in November, he was getting these palpitations which led to an angiogram. They found some mild lesions and myocardial bridging, nothing major though. Before all this, he was on a 10 mg dose of Aztor. In December, he had a left hepatectomy because of a cyst, but that's all sorted now. So, in January, the doctor switched things up and put him on Ecosprin 7520 and Prolimet 12.5, and he's been on those for about three months. The thing is, our doctor isn't available right now and my dads next checkup isn't until April. I'm just wondering if it's okay for him to keep taking this medication for another two months or should we be doing something different?
Yes, the same medications can be continued for another two months. Aztor 10 mg can be continued for his cholesterol management. Ecosprin 7520 is important for antiplatelet effects to prevent blood clots, and Prolimet 12.5 is likely prescribed for blood pressure control. It is important to continue these medications as prescribed until his next checkup in April.
