I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a cold recently, and I've been on antibiotics for it. When I checked my blood pressure, it was at 160100, which has me a bit worried. I did take a tablet called Stardol for muscle pain a few days ago. Should I be concerned about my blood pressure or anything else? Would love some guidance.

I'm a 47-year-old guy who's been taking Losartan for my high blood pressure for the past three years. It used to keep things stable, but for the last couple of weeks, my blood pressure has been running high. Do you think this medication is still the right choice for me? Should I consider adjusting the dose or maybe switching to a different medication? I'm quite concerned about these changes and want to make sure I'm managing my hypertension effectively.

Considering that your blood pressure has been on the higher side despite being on Losartan for 3 years, it may be necessary to reassess your treatment plan. Losartan is a common medication for hypertension, but sometimes a change in medication or dosage adjustment may be needed for better blood pressure control. I recommend consulting your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of increasing the dosage of Losartan or adding another medication such as Amlodipine to better manage your blood pressure. It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make any necessary adjustments under the guidance of your healthcare provider.

I just got my EKG report and it says "borderline ECG." I went to the cardiologist for surgery clearance for bariatric surgery. Should I be worried about this result? Could this affect my surgery? What does "borderline ECG" mean exactly?

Borderline ECG means that the results of your electrocardiogram are not definitively normal or abnormal. It could indicate a variety of issues or it could simply be a variation of normal for you. It is important to discuss these results further with your cardiologist to determine if any additional testing or monitoring is needed.
