I've been noticing that my blood pressure seems to jump around quite a bit. Sometimes it's around 11575, other times it gets up to 12684, and the highest I've seen is 160101. I'm not on any medications for it right now. Is it normal for blood pressure to fluctuate like this, and what might be causing these changes?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fluctuating blood pressure, ranging from 11575 to as high as 160101, can be influenced by factors such as stress, diet, physical activity, and underlying medical conditions. To manage this, adopt a heart-healthy diet, reduce salt intake, engage in regular physical activity, manage stress, and avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine. Regularly monitor your blood pressure, noting any patterns or triggers, and keep a log of your readings. Consult your healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions and determine if medication is necessary. Discuss these fluctuations with your doctor to develop an appropriate management plan.

View allI'm really worried after reading something about the COVID vaccine increasing the risk of blood clots and heart attacks, especially for people with high hscrp levels. My husband, who's 32, recently had an hsCRP test, and it came out to 1.7mgL. His cholesterol is also 227 with an LDL of 148. Should he think about starting ecosprin 75mg a week before he gets vaccinated and keep taking it for a few weeks after? I'm just trying to make sure we're doing everything we can to avoid any risks related to the vaccine. What do you suggest?
Elevated hs-CRP levels can indeed be a risk factor for blood clots and heart attacks. However, the decision to start taking ecosprin (aspirin) as a preventive measure should be made after consulting with a healthcare professional. In your husband's case, with an hs-CRP level of 1.7mgL, it is not considered very high. The current guidelines do not recommend routine aspirin therapy for primary prevention in individuals with low to moderate cardiovascular risk. It is important to consider the overall cardiovascular risk profile of your husband, including factors such as age, blood pressure, smoking status, and family history of heart disease. I recommend discussing these results with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate course of action regarding aspirin therapy before and after covid vaccination.

I'm looking over my wife's yearly ECG report and I'm a bit worried about the results. It mentions "borderline" and lists some parameters like a rate of 89, sinus rhythm, and normal P AxisV rate. It also says something about short PR intervals and gives a bunch of numbers, like PR 105 and QRS 80. Im not sure what these mean. Do you think this calls for more tests or should I be concerned about anything specific?

I'm a 56-year-old guy, weighing 83 kg, and after 10 months of taking rosuvastatin, my LDL cholesterol is now 68 mgdL. I'm also dealing with hypertension and diabetes, taking metformin 500 mg and Ramipril 2.5 mg, as well as aspirin and metoprolol succinate 25 mg. I haven't done an angiography yet. Given that I'm on all these medications, what should my next steps be to improve my health?
Based on your medical history and current medications, it is important to address your mildly positive TMT (Treadmill Test) result and the fact that you have not undergone angiography yet. To further improve your cardiovascular health and assess the status of your coronary arteries, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist for a more detailed evaluation. The cardiologist may recommend undergoing a coronary angiography to visualize any blockages in your coronary arteries and determine the best course of action. In the meantime, continue with your current medications: - Rosuvastatin for cholesterol management - Aspirin for antiplatelet effects - Metoprolol succinate for blood pressure control - Ramipril for blood pressure control - Metformin for diabetes management Ensure that you are following a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and weight management. It is also essential to monitor your blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and cholesterol levels regularly. If you experience any chest pain, shortness of breath, or other concerning symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are crucial for ongoing management and monitoring of your conditions.
