I've been averaging a BP of 13578, and my resting heart rate is 85. My BMI is 37, and I'm only 22. I'm currently on Eritel 40 mg. I'm really worried about how to get my blood pressure and heart rate down. Could you give me some advice?

View allI'm curious about what steps to take next for my health. I've been on medication for 10 months now dealing with mild cholesterol and hypertension, and I'm also diabetic. My LDL is currently 68 mgdl. The medications I'm taking include Metformin 500 mg, Ramipril 2.5 mg, Rosuvastatin, Aspirin, and Metoprolol Succinate 25 mg. I haven't done an angiography yet, and I'm wondering if that's necessary or if there are other actions I should consider for better health management. What would you suggest?
Based on your current medications and medical history, it seems like you are managing your hypertension, diabetes, and cholesterol levels effectively. Since you have a mildly positive TMT result and have not undergone angiography yet, it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. You may consider discussing the possibility of undergoing angiography to assess the status of your coronary arteries. Depending on the findings, your healthcare provider may recommend adjustments to your current medication regimen or additional interventions to optimize your cardiovascular health. In the meantime, continue taking your medications as prescribed: - Metformin 500mg for diabetes - Ramipril 2.5mg for hypertension - Rosuvastatin for cholesterol - Aspirin for cardiovascular protection - Metoprolol succinate 25mg for hypertension Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your progress and make any necessary changes to your treatment plan.

I'm really concerned because I'm still having this pain on the left side of my chest and in my neck, even though my TMT and high-sensitive troponin tests came back normal. Should I still be worried about the possibility of a heart attack?
It's good that your TMT test and high sensitive troponin I test results are normal. However, persistent left chest pain and neck side pain should not be ignored. It's important to further investigate the cause of your symptoms. You may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or other non-cardiac issues, but it's essential to rule out any cardiac concerns. You can take a medication like Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

My dad had bypass surgery back in 2000 and has been on meds since then. He's 60 now and after a recent health check, the doctor said his heart is working at 30% and recommended an angio. What exactly happens during an angio and what should we do next to improve his health?
An angio (angiography) is a procedure using X-rays to visualize blood vessels and identify blockages or narrowing. To improve his health, your dad should focus on a heart-healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and quitting smoking if he smokes. He should also continue taking his prescribed medications as directed.
