I've been monitoring my blood pressure and it's usually around 13090 or 13787, which I'm not sure if that's high or normal. Do I need to be on any medication for this? At home, it's typically 13086, but at work, I've noticed it goes up to 14085 or sometimes even 14080. How can I keep my blood pressure at a healthy level? Should I be worried about these readings or is this something normal? Could you give me some advice on this?

View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with anemia for the past five months, and then about a month ago, my heart test showed something called mild tricuspid regurgitation. Could the anemia be the reason for this heart issue? And if it is, what steps should I take to address it?
Anemia can sometimes lead to heart problems such as tricuspid regurgitation due to the decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. To help treat your anemia and improve your heart condition, I recommend taking iron supplements such as Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg once or twice daily, as well as Vitamin B12 supplements. Additionally, it is important to consume iron-rich foods such as red meat, spinach, and lentils. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.

Ive been having trouble with my breathing, and my pulse rate is pretty high. My doctor mentioned something about sinus tachycardia and gave me propranolol to take. After using it for a couple of days, I've started to notice swelling in my fingers. What kind of tests or investigations do you think I should consider? And should I be worried about this swelling? Any advice would be really helpful.
Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats faster than normal. Since you are experiencing swelling on your fingers after taking propranolol, it is important to consult your doctor for a possible alternative medication. In terms of investigations, you may consider getting an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to monitor your heart's electrical activity and rule out any other underlying heart conditions. Additionally, a blood test to check electrolyte levels and thyroid function may be recommended. It is important to discuss these options with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
