Question 1

I've been having some chest pain and got an echo done, and the report mentioned "normal diastolic dysfunction." I'm trying to understand what this means. Should I be worried about it being serious, or is it something normal? I'm a bit anxious about what this report could imply. Could you help clarify this for me?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 2

Hey, I've got a situation that's been bothering me. My blood pressure is pretty high, around 16510, which I know is far from normal. My lifestyle is generally healthyI don't smoke or drink alcohol. I also don't deal with anxiety or lead a sedentary lifestyle, and I avoid fast food. My blood sugar is normal when I fast. I'm just confused about why my BP is still high. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

High blood pressure of 165100 should be addressed promptly to prevent complications. I recommend starting with medication to lower your blood pressure. You can start with a combination of Amlodipine 5mg and Lisinopril 10mg once daily. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium, and stress management techniques can also help in managing your blood pressure. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are important to ensure your blood pressure is well controlled.

Question 3

I'm really worried because ever since I had COVID, my pulse rate has been around 100 and I've been experiencing palpitations. My doctor suggested I get an echocardiogram done, and I've attached the report here. Can you tell me if everything looks normal? I'm particularly concerned about the mention of trivial tricuspid regurgitationdoes that need treatment?

Accepted Answer

Trivial TR is a normal finding in healthy heart. Your echo is normal. Post covid palpitations are also seen in many patients. However if the symptoms are severe enough, you may need some medication.

I've been experiencing this sharp pain and tightness in my chest, and it sometimes feels more like stabbing. It's not constant - sometimes it's there, sometimes not. It's weird because I also feel it around my back. On top of that, I'm always tired and feel drowsy. Should I be concerned about this?
