Hi,

i am under a medical team, my Blood pressure on average of 170/102, no heart disease, xray today shows slightly enlarged heart, probably due to high blood pressure, beta blocklers are not making a difference, seeing another doctor tomorrow. I dont drink, smoke, take drugs, not pregnant, and i eat well. Chest pains came out of no where a while ago and high blood pressure has continued since then, confirmed no heart disease etc on previous scans....any thoughts anyone? i am 66.

Thanks for sharing. Given your high BP (170/102), enlarged heart, and chest pain, it’s good you’re seeing another doctor. Since beta blockers aren’t working, exploring other meds like ACE inhibitors or ARBs may help. Stay proactive!

When the force of blood on the artery walls is continuously too great, it is referred to as high blood pressure, or hypertension.

You are already 66 at this age most people get blood pressure issues so don't hesitate just have regular medicine and maintain a healthy diet.

This medical knowledge is important.

Anyone worried about their blood pressure should have their blood pressure measured by a nurse or doctor: don't use home kits. You won't understand their numbers and medical impact.

I am not being degrading but a medical professional will know what they are doing much better.

When the force of blood on your artery walls is continuously too great, you have high blood pressure, also referred to as hypertension. It is frequently referred to as the "silent killer" due to the fact that it typically exhibits no symptoms. It can result in major health issues like kidney disease, heart attacks, and strokes if treatment is not received.
