View allI'm a bit concerned because I was on medication for blood pressure until November, but stopped after my doctor said my BP levels were normal. It's been fine for the past five months, but now I notice my home readings are at 13898. I've had 500 ml of beer each day for the last two days before this reading. Should I be worried about this change, or is there something I can try before considering going back on medication?
It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially after noticing an increase like 13898. Since you have a history of high blood pressure and recent alcohol consumption, it's advisable to take action to lower your blood pressure. You can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can consider taking medication again as prescribed by your doctor to help control your blood pressure. If these measures do not lower your blood pressure, it's essential to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned because for the last three months, my heart has been skipping beats every half an hour or so. My blood pressure is recorded at 14090. I've seen a cardiologist and had tests like an echo, ECG, and holter done. My doctor has put me on Olmesar 20 for my blood pressure and Ciplar LA 20 mg for 15 days. I'm really worried about the trivial mitral regurgitation and these skipped heartbeats. What should I be expecting or doing about this?
Trivial mitral regurgitation is a common condition where a small amount of blood flows backward through the mitral valve with each heartbeat. It usually does not cause any symptoms or require treatment. As for your skipped heartbeats, also known as palpitations, they can be caused by various factors such as stress, caffeine, or certain medications. Your doctor has prescribed Olmesar 20 for your blood pressure and Ciplar LA 20 mg for 15 days to help with your heart rate. Olmesar is a brand name for Olmesartan, which helps lower blood pressure. Ciplar LA is a brand name for Propranolol, which can help regulate your heart rate. It is important to take these medications as prescribed and follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. If you continue to experience skipped heartbeats or have any concerns, make sure to inform your doctor for further guidance.

I've been dealing with anxiety for about a month now. My cardiologist mentioned that during the echo test, there was palpitations and a skipped beat. Is this something I should be worried about? He prescribed me sleeping pills along with anxiety medication. Everything else seems normal, with the LVEF at 60. Does that sound okay?
Palpitations and skipped beats during an echo test can be concerning, but it is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. For anxiety, medications like Xanax (alprazolam) can be prescribed. For sleep, medications like Ambien (zolpidem) can be helpful. It's good to know that all other parameters are normal and your LVEF is 60%. Make sure to take the medications as prescribed and follow up with your cardiologist for any concerns.
