I've been having some pain in my left arm and numbness in my chest today, and my ECG results say there's a suspected inferior infarction. I'm really worried about what this means. Is this something that can be reversed or cured? And what kind of treatment would I need for this?

Inferior infarction refers to a heart attack that affects the inferior wall of the heart. It is a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention. Treatment for inferior infarction typically involves medications to reduce the workload on the heart and prevent further complications. Common medications used in the treatment of heart attacks include: - Aspirin 325mg to reduce blood clotting - Clopidogrel 75mg to prevent blood clots - Nitroglycerin to improve blood flow to the heart - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol to reduce the workload on the heart - ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril to improve heart function - Statins like Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol levels It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment and lifestyle changes to manage and prevent future heart issues.

View allI'm really struggling to get a full night's sleep. Even if I go to bed around 12 or 1, I'll still wake up by 3 or 4 in the morning.

I'm really worried about my mom. Her blood pressure reading is 150 over 82. Is this something we should be concerned about? Does it mean she has high BP? I'm wondering if we should consult a doctor and consider medication. What would you advise?
blood pressure reading of 15082 is considered elevated, with the systolic pressure (150) being in the stage 1 hypertension range. It is important to monitor her blood pressure regularly to see if it stays consistently high. In case of persistent high blood pressure, medication may be required. I recommend consulting a doctor for further evaluation and to discuss potential treatment options. In terms of medication, the doctor may prescribe antihypertensive drugs such as Losartan 50mg or Amlodipine 5mg to help lower her blood pressure.

I'm really worried about my blood pressure lately. My 2D echo showed concentric LVH with an EF of 60 and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I've been on medication since September, taking one tablet in the morning and two at night. Initially, my BP seemed stable, but now in December, it's been fluctuating a lot. Previously, it was around 12082 to 12585 in the morning and 13585 to 13882 in the afternoon. But now, I'm seeing readings like 14090 in the morning and 14894 in the afternoon. I'm active, so what's causing these changes in winter? How should I take care of my BP during this season?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially with your medical history of Concentric LVH and diastolic dysfunction. Considering your situation, I would recommend adding or adjusting your current medication regimen to better control your blood pressure during the winter season. You can discuss with your doctor about adding a calcium channel blocker like Amlodipine 5mg in the morning and a combination of Valsartan 80mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg in the evening. This can help in better blood pressure control throughout the day. In addition to medication, it is also important to make lifestyle modifications to help manage your blood pressure. This includes reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. It is not uncommon for blood pressure to fluctuate with the change in seasons, but with the right medication and lifestyle adjustments, you can better manage your blood pressure even during the winter months. Make sure to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for any further adjustments needed."
