Is it normal for my husband's resting heart rate to be 84 bpm? His heartbeat usually rates around 90, and we recently had an ECG done that showed his resting heart rate is 84 bpm. Does this sound okay?

I've been having some concerns after a medical camp at my office where my BP was checked. The first reading was 120180 and the second was 110170. The doctor suggested I take Lasix for a day and then start on Telma 40 mg for 10 days. I've just started the medication yesterday. Over the past week, I've reduced my salt intake and started doing yoga. Before starting the medication, my BP readings were 110150, 105145, 110150, and 115155. Yesterday I took Lasix at 3 pm and today 1 tablet of Telma 40 mg at 8 am. My BP reading at 7:30 pm today was 14090. I'm feeling a bit different after the meds and am wondering if they're too strong or just right. What do you think is happening?

It seems like your blood pressure is gradually stabilizing, which is a positive sign, but a reading of 14090 is still on the higher side. It's normal to feel a bit different when starting medication, but if you're concerned or feel any discomfort, its important to check in with your doctor to ensure the dosage is appropriate for you.

I'm dealing with mild diastolic dysfunction, tricuspid regurgitation, and mitral regurgitation. My left ventricular ejection fraction is 55. I'm a little concerned and just wondering how often I should see a cardiologist. Can you tell me more about my current condition? Is it okay for me to do regular activities like climbing stairs? And do I need to change anything about my diet or eating habits?

Having LV diastolic dysfunction, along with TR and MR, all mild, with LVEF of 55 means you have a mild heart condition. You should visit your cardiologist regularly for follow-up appointments to monitor your condition. It is recommended to see your cardiologist at least every 6-12 months or as advised by your doctor. In terms of your present condition, with mild LV diastolic dysfunction, TR, and MR, and an LVEF of 55, you are in a stable condition. You may continue with your normal daily activities, including chores and climbing stairs. However, it is important to avoid excessive physical exertion and follow a heart-healthy diet. For your heart condition, your cardiologist may prescribe medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril or ARBs like Losartan to help manage your blood pressure and reduce the workload on your heart. They may also recommend beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help improve heart function. Additionally, diuretics like Furosemide may be prescribed to reduce fluid buildup in your body. Remember to follow your cardiologist's advice closely and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for proper management of your heart condition.
