He should immediately consult a cardiologist as he has very high blood pressure which could be a serious health concern. Swelling in the face is a sign of a more severe condition that needs urgent medical attention.

Should someone be concerned if their doctor states in their file after an echocardiogram that "a left superior vena cava is not present"? Is this a good or bad thing?
Male | 5
The absence of a left superior vena cava is a rare anatomical variation where the vein is not located in its usual position. It is generally considered a normal variant and not inherently good or bad. While it usually doesn't cause health issues, it can bring challenges during certain medical procedures.

I have a heart rate of around 96 during resting, and could rise up to 110 or 111 during resting. I calculated this through Apple Watch.
Male | 15
The heart rate between 60-100 beats per minute is normal, but 96-111 BPM is not normal during the resting period and may indicate an underlying condition. You should consult a cardiologist for an evaluation if you additionally have these symptoms.

Female | 37
It is possible that a more serious underlying condition causes the pain that you are experiencing. For this reason, it is important that you continue to follow up with your doctor to ensure that the pain is not caused by something more serious. Your doctor may recommend further testing, such as an MRI or CT scan, to better understand the cause of your pain. It is also important to watch for any other symptoms that may have developed since the pain began, such as shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or palpitations. These symptoms may indicate a more serious problem.

Can anemia cause heart palpitations?
Male | 35
In anaemia, your heart will try pumping more blood to compensate. This causes palpitations and increases the heart rate.

I am 25 year old female ,recently had a echocardiogram . Report was showing everything normal except one finding - Mild thickened aortic ncc . Does it mean I have aortic sclerosis?
Female | 25
Mild thickening of the aortic valve is not the same as aortic sclerosis. Sometimes, as people get older, their aortic valves can get a little bit thicker. It’s usually not a big deal and doesn’t cause any symptoms. Make sure to keep following up with a cardiologist so they can keep an eye on it.

Low BP and on spironilactone for acne. BP was 99/60 on Monday. Today at 6:30am, it was 89/54 and at 7pm today it was 95/58. Have off and on nausea.
Female | 21
You seem to experience issues with hypotension and nausea. Spironolactone, a medication you take, can decrease blood pressure. When blood pressure declines excessively, dizziness and sickness may occur. Stay hydrated by consuming ample fluids. Additionally, opt for frequent small meals. If symptoms persist, consult your cardiologist promptly for guidance.

Hello, Can I ask if what should I do if my mom's blood pressure didn't go lower than 170/70. She's a dialysis patient. But since last night, her bp is 180/60 or 190/70.
Female | 62
It occurs when pressure builds inside blood vessels. There could be several causes – stress, kidney disease, or not adhering to the dialysis routine. Unchecked, it can lead to heart strain, even damage arteries. You should promptly alert your mom's doctors. They might alter medications or propose lifestyle changes.
