I've been told I have mild left ventricular hypertrophy after a 2D echo test. Is this something that can be reversed if I manage to keep my blood pressure around 12080?

Blood Pressure Control
- Keeping your blood pressure around 120/80 mmHg is crucial. It reduces heart strain and can help improve mild left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
Reversibility
- With effective blood pressure management, lifestyle changes, and possibly medications, mild LVH can improve or partially reverse.
Lifestyle Modifications
- Adopt a heart-healthy diet, engage in regular exercise, avoid smoking, and manage stress to support heart health.
Regular Monitoring
- Schedule regular check-ups and echocardiograms to track your heart’s response to treatment.

Consult your cardiologist for personalized advice and management plans.

What is a good blood pressure by age?

In earlier times, Blood pressure was defined according to age. With all the new research data, Hypertension is defined only by increase in numbers in blood pressure which applies similarly for all adults above 18 years of age. Normal blood pressure is a reading less than 120/80 mm Hg. Any reading above 120/80 mm Hg checked consequently for three days needs a doctor's opinion.

I've been having this tightness in my chest and feeling really tired, plus I'm not sleeping well at all. It's also making my mood all over the place and I'm dealing with some shortness of breath too. Could these symptoms be connected? Should I be concerned or is this something that will pass on its own?

You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or stress. To help with these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 1mg as needed for anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises or meditation, may also be beneficial. If symptoms persist, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
