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?

Based on your symptoms:

Possible Causes

  1. Gas and bloating: Trapped gas can cause stomach cramps and discomfort.
  2. Digestive issues: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) could be contributing factors.
  3. Food intolerance: Lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity, or other food intolerances might be triggering your symptoms.
  4. Stress and anxiety: Tension can cause stomach discomfort and cramping.

Self-Care

  1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help with digestion.
  2. Avoid trigger foods: Identify and avoid foods that might be exacerbating your symptoms.
  3. Manage stress: Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga.

My aunt has a heart problem and doctors recommended a heart valve replacement, including Dr Anil Bhan last year. We couldn't afford it then, but now she's admitted at SKIMS Hospital in Srinagar and her condition is serious. She has young daughters, so we really need to figure this out. Can you tell me the approximate cost for the valve replacement surgery, including hospital stay and medicines? We need to arrange funds quickly to save her life.

Heart has 4 valves in all . I would need to see a 2 D Echo and then decide what surgery and then predict appropriate cost

I was told I need to get a TMT test, but I'm a bit concerned about how it works. Can you tell me how fast the treadmill goes and how long the test usually lasts?

The TMT test, also known as the Treadmill Stress Test, is a common test used to assess the heart's response to stress or exercise. During the test, you will be asked to walk on a treadmill at different speeds and inclines while your heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG are monitored. The test typically starts at a slow pace with little to no incline, and the speed and incline gradually increase every few minutes. The goal is to reach a target heart rate based on your age and fitness level. The test usually lasts between 10-15 minutes. The speed of the treadmill and the incline will be adjusted by the technician conducting the test based on your physical condition and the specific protocol followed by the testing facility. It is important to follow the technician's instructions during the test to ensure accurate results. After the test is completed, the technician will monitor your heart rate and blood pressure as they gradually return to normal. The results of the test will be reviewed by a doctor to assess your heart's response to exercise and determine if there are any abnormalities. I hope this information helps you understand the procedure of the TMT test.

I'm really concerned about my husband who's 41 years old. He's been experiencing some pain on the left side of his chest every now and then, but when we did an ECG and an X-ray, everything came back normal. He weighs about 78 kg. Should I be worried even though the tests are normal? What else could be causing this pain?

gastritis rule out.
