This is a serious condition that needs to be managed properly to prevent complications. You can start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) at a dosage of 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight can also help in managing high blood pressure. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is important to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

View allI'm trying to understand something about ECG readings. In a normal person, when you look at the R wave in the V3 and V4 chest leads, is it due to major ventricular depolarization or septal depolarization? I could really use some help figuring this out.

I'm worried about my health since my hs-CRP is 3.60 and CRP is 4.20. Is this something I should be really concerned about and get treated right away? I had an angiogram back in December 2020, and everything came out normal then. Also, I've been dealing with high blood pressure and diabetes. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean?
Given your history of high blood pressure, diabetes, and previous angiogram, it is important to manage your CRP levels to reduce the risk of further complications. I recommend starting a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower your CRP levels and reduce inflammation in the arteries. Additionally, you should continue to manage your high blood pressure with medications like Amlodipine 5mg daily and control your diabetes with medications like Metformin 1000mg twice daily. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and weight management are also important in managing inflammation and reducing cardiovascular risk.
