I've been dealing with hypertension for the past year and recently found out I have mild LVH. I'm currently taking nebivolol and amlodipine, but my blood pressure still won't go below 13585. I'm only 34, and I'm worried about why these meds aren't working. Is there something else I should consider doing or trying?

Managing hypertension with mild LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) requires a comprehensive approach.
Current Medications
- Nebivolol: A beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and reduce LVH.
- Amlodipine: A calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
Additional Strategies
- Lifestyle Modifications:
- Regular aerobic exercise (at least 150 minutesweek)
- Weight management (aim for a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9)
- Balanced diet (emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein)
- Stress reduction techniques (meditation, yoga, or deep breathing)
- Monitor and Adjust Medications:
- Regularly monitor blood pressure and adjust medications as needed.
- Consider adding a diuretic or an ACE inhibitorARB to enhance blood pressure control.
- LVH Monitoring:
- Regular echocardiograms to monitor LVH progression
- Adjust medications and lifestyle modifications accordingly
Consult a Specialist
Consider consulting a cardiologist to reassess your treatment plan and provide personalized guidance.

View allI'm really worried about my brother. He had a heart attack in March 2017, and it turned out he had a 100% blockage in a left artery. He's been taking meds like planep 25mg, sexeloxon, and roustor gold10 to help with this. I'm just wondering, can medication actually remove the blockage, or is that not possible? And how do we even check if the blockage has improved or if it's still completely blocked?
To check if the blockage has been reduced or is still at 100%, he can undergo a diagnostic test called a coronary angiography. This procedure will provide detailed images of the arteries and can show if there has been any improvement in the blockage. It is important to follow up with his cardiologist for further evaluation and management."

I'm really concerned about my dad's blood pressure. He's been dealing with high BP for a while, but it was stable and normal the past few days. Today it shot up to 153110 and he took his usual Tazlock 20, which has Telmisartan IP in it. Is this something we should be really worried about and what steps should we take from here?
yes you can use
