My mom has been dealing with high blood pressure for about 15 years and has been on Sartel since she had a minor attack back then. But recently, like in the last two weeks, her blood pressure has dropped from high to low. What could be causing this change, and what should we do about it?

View allIve been noticing some pain in my chest that moves to my left arm and its paired with shortness of breath. It usually happens after Ive had an emotional setback and tends to go away on its own after a while. What could be causing this? Is it something I should be worried about?
Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of angina. Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. In your case, the pain may be triggered by emotional stress. I recommend you to take Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain. The usual dose is 0.3 to 0.6 mg every 5 minutes as necessary, up to 3 doses. If the pain persists after taking the medication, please seek immediate medical attention.

What do you think it means when my ECG shows a T wave inversion and my echo test results are fine, but my TMT test comes back positive? These have been the results for the past ten years. Now I've also caught COVID-19 with a mild lung infection. Any advice?
based on your description of T wave inversion in ECG, a positive TMT test for the past 10 years, and mild COVID-19 infection in the lungs, it suggests that you may have a long-standing cardiac issue. The T wave inversion in ECG can indicate heart muscle ischemia or other cardiac problems. Since your TMT test has been positive for the past 10 years, it indicates that there is a likelihood of coronary artery disease or heart-related issues. In this case, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health closely. You may consider taking medications such as Aspirin and Atorvastatin to reduce the risk of heart complications. Additionally, for your mild COVID-19 infection, it is crucial to follow the prescribed treatment plan, rest, stay hydrated, and monitor your symptoms closely. Please consult your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
