How can I lower my diastolic blood pressure? My systolic blood pressure is usually normal, but my diastolic is often high. Are there any ways to bring it down naturally without medication? It's usually around 12090.

Question

I'm on some medications right nowConcor 2.5, Paxidep CR 25, and Nexpro RD 40for panic disorder and concentric LVH. I've been thinking about doing some cardio exercises like running, jogging, push-ups, sit-ups, and maybe some light weight lifting with a dumbbell. I'm planning to do this for about 30 to 40 minutes, five days a week, because I've noticed I'm gaining some weight. I weigh 70 kg at a height of 5'3". Is it okay to keep up with these exercises while on these meds, or should I be cautious?

Question

I've been experiencing something concerning that Id like some input on. So, last week, I had this issue but after taking some medication, it seemed to go away. However, Ive been noticing that whenever I lift weights around 25kg, I get this tight feeling in my chest. Along with that, my heart seems to race really fast. When I used my mobile to check my heart rate, the numbers were all over the place like 104, 96, 87, 45, and 79 which seemed off. At first, I thought maybe the phone sensor was acting up, but it reads other people's heart rates accurately. In the mornings, my heart rate seems stable, usually between 65 and 76, but it gets weird in the afternoon and evening. Ive had an ECG, 2D echo, and blood tests done, and my doctor says everything is normal with my heart. Is it possible for there to be issues even if those tests show normal results? I'd appreciate any insight.

Question

My doctor recommended EPSRFA for me but I'm really nervous about it. Is this procedure safe and what kind of complications could happen? I've been stressing over this and need some clarity.
