View allI'm really worried because my blood pressure has been super high for the last few hours, reading 197 over 111. I'm feeling a lot of discomfort and it's making me nervous. Could this be hypertension or something else I should be concerned about? What should I do right now?
High blood pressure with readings of 197111 is a cause for concern and may require immediate medical attention. You can take Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 10mg to help lower your blood pressure. It is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Is it a big issue if I have cardiac conduction defects like PVC and PVAs? My May 2d echo came back normal, but the ECG still shows PVCs. Should I be worried about this?
Having cardiac conduction defects such as PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions) and PVAs (Premature Atrial Contractions) can sometimes indicate an underlying heart issue. While PVCs and PVAs are common and can be benign in many cases, they can also be associated with certain heart conditions. Since your 2D echo is normal, it is a good sign that the structure of your heart is normal. However, the presence of PVCs on ECG warrants further evaluation to determine the underlying cause and assess the overall heart function. In terms of medication, if your PVCs are symptomatic or concerning, your doctor may prescribe antiarrhythmic medications such as Flecainide or Propafenone to help regulate your heart rhythm. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on your individual case and should be determined by your healthcare provider. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is important to monitor your heart health and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
