I've been told I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, and my blood pressure has been pretty low over the last few years. Should I be worried about anything serious going on? My LDL and triglycerides levels aren't where they should be either. What do you think?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction can be managed by controlling blood pressure and addressing any underlying conditions. Since your blood pressure has been consistently low, it is important to investigate the cause further. Low blood pressure can be due to dehydration, heart problems, endocrine issues, or neurological conditions. In your case, with elevated LDL and triglyceride levels, it is important to focus on managing your cholesterol levels to reduce the risk of heart disease. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management. In addition, medication such as Atorvastatin can be prescribed to help lower your LDL levels. For your triglycerides, medications such as Fenofibrate can be considered. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm experiencing something strange after starting my TB medication. My heart beats really fast while I'm sleeping and even after I wake up. I don't have shortness of breath, just a persistent headache, and it's really bothering me because it's affecting my sleep. There's no cough either, just this constant headache and rapid heartbeat throughout the day. My blood pressure is around 13070. What could be causing these symptoms?

I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure, and it was reading 14496 when I saw a doctor. He told me to take Telma 20 for six weeks, which I did, but now I can't get back to see him. This morning, my BP was 13496. What should I do next? Do I need to keep taking the medication or make any changes?
Since you have been taking Telma 20 (Telmisartan 20mg), continue to take it as prescribed by your physician. In addition, you can also focus on lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. If you experience any side effects or have concerns, it's important to follow up with your physician for further guidance.

I'm really worried because I've been having chest pain for the past week. I got an ECG done today, and it showed something about left axis deviation. I've attached the ECG results. Can you help me understand what this means and what I should do next?
Left axis deviation on ECG can be indicative of various underlying conditions. Given your symptoms of chest pain, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your symptoms. I recommend you start taking Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent any clot formation in the heart. Additionally, you should take Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help reduce the workload on your heart and control your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
