View allI'm trying to understand my echo report. It says all chamber sizes are normal, there's no regurgitation, and valve morphology is normal, with normal LV function. But it doesn't mention anything about pulmonary artery pressure. Does this mean my pulmonary pressure is normal? I'm a bit confused and would love some clarity on this.

She's got a blood pressure reading of 15090 when we checked it at home. Is that considered high? Just want to be sure.
A blood pressure reading of 15090 is considered high. It is important to monitor blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to lower it. You can consider taking medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help manage high blood pressure. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Is a pulse rate of 55-65 normal? We've started my dad on Concor AM 5mg for the last couple of days, and now we're noticing his pulse rate is around that range, plus he's been experiencing some irregular heartbeats and mild chest pain. He's already dealing with hypertension and after a bout with COVID had palpitations and a pulse hitting 120, so he took Ivabid for a month, then switched to Dilzem CD 90mg for another month. We did notice his aortic valve is dilated at 4.3 cm. I'm really worried and wondering if we should continue with Concor, or could it further lower his pulse rate?
A pulse rate of 55-65 can be considered normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically fit. However, considering your father's history of hypertension, irregular heartbeat, chest pain, and previous cardiac medications, it is essential to monitor his condition closely. Concor AM 5mg is a combination of Bisoprolol and Amlodipine, which helps in controlling blood pressure and heart rate. Given his symptoms and medical history, it is crucial to consult with his healthcare provider to adjust the dosage or consider alternative medications. Continuing Concor may further decrease the pulse rate, so medical advice is necessary to ensure his safety and well-being.
