I'm a bit concerned about my ECG results. The report shows a PR of 102 and I'm not sure if that's within the normal range. I've also attached the ECG here for you to take a look. Could you let me know if everything seems okay? We're also considering cataract surgery, so I wanted to check if this ECG is fine before moving forward with that.

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. Normally, it sits around 12090, but every now and then, it'll spike to about 130100, or drop to 10080. It used to be at 10070. I'm trying to find a natural solution and wondering if Ayurveda could help manage this, as I really don't want to be on medication forever. I lead a pretty active lifestyle, and I'm really careful with my diet and regular exercise. What do you think? Is there an alternative approach I could try?
