I've been dealing with high blood pressure for the last six years, and I'm currently taking Olmesar 20 H. This past week, my blood pressure readings have been fluctuating between 13590 and 14595. What can I do to help lower my blood pressure? I'm a bit concerned about these numbers.

It seems like your blood pressure is slightly elevated despite taking Olmesar 20 H. To help lower your blood pressure, you can try increasing your physical activity, reducing your salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress. In addition, you may need a change in medication dosage or a different medication. I recommend consulting your doctor to adjust your treatment plan.

View allI'm really worried because I've been experiencing shortness of breath almost every day for the past year. It's like I can't breathe deeply and feels like there's air trapped in my chest. It's happening even when I'm just resting with no apparent triggers. I also sometimes feel dizzy and have trouble focusing. I've noticed that this used to only happen occasionally, like during exercise or when the weather was bad, but now it's nearly constant. I'm currently taking verapamil three times a day to manage my tachycardia and hypertension. Could any of this be related, or what might be causing these feelings?

I'm curious if I should be concerned about my heart that starts pounding after I climb stairs, run, or even just fast walk. It also happens if I get up too quickly from lying down. I've done all the blood tests and an ECG as my doctor suggested, and everything came back normal. Is there something I should worry about?
An echo and ecg is advised.

I recently did my routine test, and I'm quite worried about my lipid profile, especially the triglycerides, which don't look great. Should I consider getting more tests done, or is it time to start medication? My total cholesterol level is at 177 mg, triglycerides are 327 mg, HDL cholesterol is 37 mg, non-HDL cholesterol reads 140 mg, and LDL cholesterol is 108 mg with an atherosclerosis index of 5. I'd really appreciate some detailed advice on what steps I should take next.
Based on your lipid profile results, your triglyceride levels are high at 327mgdL. To help lower your triglyceride levels, you can start taking Omega-3 fatty acids supplements such as Lovaza 1-4 grams per day. Additionally, you can consider starting a statin medication like Lipitor (Atorvastatin) at a dose of 10-80 mg per day to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. It is important to also focus on lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and weight management. Regular monitoring of your lipid profile will be necessary to track your progress.
