My blood pressure has been consistently around 150100 for the last two weeks, and it's making me a little worried. I sometimes feel dizzy and really tired, almost like I just want to sleep all the time. I've heard from someone that once you start medication for BP, it becomes a lifetime thing, and if you stop, your BP will just spike up again. I'm not sure what I should do about it. Do you have any advice?

It's important to manage your high blood pressure to prevent complications. In addition to medication, you can make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. You can also try natural remedies like garlic supplements or hibiscus tea. However, if your blood pressure remains high, it's advisable to start medication.

View allI'm concerned about my husband's ECG report. It mentions something called Early Repolarization, and he's only 28. Could this be something serious, or should we be worried about it? I'd really love to get some advice on what this means and if we need to do anything about it.
In ECG report, "Early Repolarization" is a common finding and usually not a cause for concern, especially in young individuals like your husband who is only 28 years old. It is often considered a benign variant and does not typically require any specific treatment. However, it is important to consider other factors such as symptoms, medical history, and overall health status. If your husband is not experiencing any symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting episodes, and if he has no other significant medical conditions, then no specific treatment may be necessary. It is advisable to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and to rule out any other potential cardiac issues. In the meantime, it is important for your husband to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. If there are any concerns or new symptoms arise, it is recommended to seek medical attention for further assessment and guidance.

I'm noticing that my heart starts racing whenever I eat, drink water, or even when I pass urine. It almost feels like I'm anxious all the time. I also have issues with gas and cervical spondylitis. Could these conditions be related to my increased heart rate?
It is possible that your gas problem and cervical spondylitis may be contributing to your increased heart rate. Gas problems can sometimes lead to bloating and discomfort, which can stimulate the vagus nerve and result in changes in heart rate. Additionally, cervical spondylitis, which affects the neck and spine, can sometimes cause compression of nerves that regulate heart rate, potentially leading to an increase in heart rate. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking medications like Pantoprazole for gas problems and Gabapentin for cervical spondylitis. Additionally, you can consider using medications like Propranolol to help control your heart rate during episodes of increased anxiety or discomfort. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
