Why does my cardiologist find fluid in my heart?

Patient's Query

My mother went to a cardiologist to change her blood pressure medication only to find out she has fluid in her heart

Heart

Answered by Dr. Bhaskar Semitha

Your mom might have extra fluid around her heart. It happens when the heart struggles to pump correctly. Heart disease or high blood pressure often causes fluid buildup. To treat it, her cardiologist may give her medicine. The medication helps remove excess fluid and strengthens the heart's pumping ability.

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.

Hello, my doctor prescribed me high blood pressure medication for my insomnia and I seen somewhere where it’s dangerous to take high blood pressure medicine without actually having it And I’m wondering if it will effect me

Female | 19

High bp medication is usually not prescribed if your bp is normal. The medication lowers bp and if its already normal, it can cause your bp to drop too low, which can lead to complications such as dizziness or fainting. In some cases medications used to treat high bp may also have sedative or calming effects, which is why your doctor may have prescribed it for your insomnia.

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.

Male | 37

A blood pressure reading of 129/83 will most likely be within the normal range. On the other hand, talk to a doctor if you have any misgivings with your blood pressure because you have underlying conditions. You consult a cardiologist to have a comprehensive evaluation and treatment for your hypertension.

I know you are worried about the lead pellet that is close to your aorta. In such situations, only a specialist can determine the best course of action.
