Avatar m tn In November 2011 I had an echocardiogram at that time my LVEF was 60%. The mean pressure gradient was 16.5mHG, the max pressure gradient was 30.0 mmHG. The aortic valve area was calculated to be 0.70 cm² That echocardiogram was performed in a hospital.

Avatar f tn re having some trouble with your blood pressure. I agree with your physician that 156/66 is too high. Your blood pressure should be below 130/80, with lower being even better if tolerated. Many things contribute to high blood pressure including age, genetics, weight, diet, exercise. It sounds like you're on the right track with your exercise. Aggressive diet and exercise can often get patients off of their medications altogether, especially if couple with weight loss.

Avatar n tn He takes Atacand, Norvasc and Bystalic for blood pressure, Zolof, Restasis for his eyes and an Excelon Patch for his memory. He is very stubborn and refuses to go to a geriatric doctor and his own doctors don't seem to know nor do they seem concerned about what's causing it.
Avatar m tn Regular aerobic exercise helps control blood pressure and cholesterol levels, both of which are risk factors for aortic dissections and ruptures of aortic aneurysms. Avoid weight lifting...Weight lifting causes temporary increases in blood pressure that could potentially result in an aortic dissection or rupture.

Avatar n tn I'm sure this is probably nothing, but I've recently been referred to the hospital for tests due to high blood pressure. I'm only 24 and not over weight but have had blood pressure readings at the doctors office as high as 180/120. I had an appointment with a general specialist who didn't come to any conclusion as to what could be causing it. I have had numerous blood tests and ecg's.

Avatar n tn I have a hx of migraines and recently dx'd with htn, for the past 2 weeks I have been experiencing pressure in the back of my neck, occipital area along with feeling light headed ."foolish whoozy" (I was told a few years ago that my MRI showed calcium deposits on the base of the brain).

Avatar n tn People at risk of abdominal aneurysms are older men, those who smoke, have high blood pressure or a family history of the condition. Diagnosis is through x-rays and sonograms. Experts hope the new technique becomes increasingly used in emergency situations".
Avatar n tn A couple months ago I had an outbreak of shingles....in my throat. It was excruciating pain in my throat and ear. With medication, the blisters disappeared, but my sense of taste was all fouled up when I was able to eat again. At first, things tasted metallic or chemically, then that subsided and things tasted like cardboard, and now, I can taste mostly extremely salty or sweet food.
Avatar f tn I've always had low bp, usually around 100/50 and my heart rate runs from 48 to 58 and I function completely normally. Even after exercising or jogging, it's rarely above 90. Very seldom do I get dizzy and I think when I do get dizzy, it has more to do with my breathing than my heart rate - my sinuses are so bad. I'm extremely active most of the time and it doesn't slow me down a bit.

Avatar n tn I got sick and tired of feeling like a Zombie because of the Medication. I seem ok with my Atacand blood pressure Medication. I decided I didn't want to feel unwell no more and have a better quality of life and to feel well. I turned to an experienced naturepath who is also certified as a professional. She put me on a few natural alternatives and diet. I also stepped up my excercise regime.
Avatar n tn s going to happen to me in the meantime. My blood pressure has been all over the map, stayed really low for about a week, but now progressively climbing. I just took it now and it is 168/85, with a heart rate of 60? My heart rate prior to this two day event has always been high. Has anyone experienced anything like this, and/or does anyone know what could be wrong with me.
Avatar n tn Shortness of breath, low blood pressure, low heart rate...??? The fatigue and a feeling of weakness in the main muscles (legs) can be due to a shortage of oxygen getting to the muscles. I assume the PM is to assure the heart rate doesn't go too low, i.e., below 50 or 60 you mention. But, does the HR come up when physical activity is undertaken? What does his doctor recommend relative to physical exercise?
