Question

I've been dealing with high blood pressure for the last month, consistently around 170110, even after taking my medication. I'm really concerned about why it's not coming down and what I should do next. Could there be something else going on that I need to check?

It seems like your current medication may not be effectively controlling your blood pressure. I recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your medication. In addition to your current treatment, adding a medication like Amlodipine (5mg) or Lisinopril (10mg) can help lower your blood pressure. Remember to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your blood pressure levels.

Question

I've read that a normal resting heart rate is between 60-100, but mine usually stays around 53-55. I'm 45 years old, and I've been on blood pressure medication for 25 years now. At the moment, I'm taking Metoprolol 25 in the morning and Telday 40 at night. My ECG results were normal, but my echocardiogram showed normal results with reduced diastolic compliance. Should I be worried about my heart rate?

Question

I'm feeling really concerned because for the last 23 days I've been having this chest pain on the left side. It spreads to my left hand and even down to my wrist. It feels like my chest is being squeezed, and at times it's like someone's poking me with a pin. The pain sometimes goes to my back too. About six months ago, I had this pain that felt like a mild heart attack. Do you think this could be something serious?

Question

I'm really concerned about my 6-month-old daughter who has a 4 mm perimembranous VSD. Is there a chance that this VSD will close on its own, or should I be worried about any complications?
