🩺Monday's Medical Video 🩺 What Happens To Our Blood Pressure As We Age?

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Roswell, GA

Aging, blood pressure. Our Blood pressure changes as we get older. Unfortunately, doctors now care more about following guidelines and less about treating the individual. There is something inherently illogical about treating a 90-year-old with a BP of 150/90 in the same way as a 20-year-old with a BP of 150/90. The benefits are less and the risk of harm is greater. Here Doctor Gupta, of York Cardiology explains how our BP changes as we get older.

I'm Researching Heart (and Likely Kidney) Transplant.

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Santa Rosa, CA

My cardiologist has been trying to get me to commit to a heart transplant. My kidneys are pretty weak and chances are I will need both
I have an IF of around 20%, and hypotension with my systolic dropping as low as 50 (rarely) but hovers around 80-90
Because of that, I can't risk messing around with medication doses. "Medications have done all they can do and it is time to move on to more aggressive treatments"
What scares me (besides everything) is I spent the last 17 years caring for a… read more

Westminster, MD

My FitBit watch was giving many daily notices of Afib. I procrastinated far too long but finally did a detailed Google search and went to my primary care doc. I was ready to ok a cardio version or Ablation. He confirmed Afib, explained my options then got me a same day appointment with a cardiologist. From that point the medical bureaucracy seemed to do everything possible to slow things down. Nine months later I had a successful Ablation. I think this could have been done in three or four… read more
