Resting ECG Showed Sinus Arrhythmic, Atrial Enlargement, High Blood Pressure, Have White Coat Hypertension. Want Comments
It is good to know that you have maintained normal weight and regularly monitor blood pressure.
Pre insurance check up reveals
1. ECG parameters within normal range.
2. Left atrial enlargement is not a clinically significant unless confirmed by echocardiography.
3. Though we say that white collar hypertension is common thing all your blood pressure readings show diastolic BP (Blood Pressure) of 90 which is significant and needs attention.
Plan for management should include
1. Consult a cardiologist and discuss about start of anti hypertensive drugs if required at the end of cardiac evaluation.
2. Detail cardiac evaluations should include lipid profile, echocardiography to know size of left ventricle and left atrium. We also know pumping capacity of heart.
3. we can consider strict diet changes as per dietician instruction, yoga and meditation as non pharmacological approach to control BP as it is in early stage.
4. If BP remains elevated inspite of all above things, consider start of low dose antihypertensive treatment.
Hope this will help you understand your situation.
Please feel free to discuss any health query if you have.
Thanks

Thanks for your report updates.
It is good that cholesterol levels are within normal limits.
About pre-insurance evaluation, it is basic practice by companies to have expert opinion from cardiologist esp. when general physician examination shows some abnormalities like mild elevated BP, or deranged lab parameters.
In your case, it is good to have expert cardiologist evaluation, which I am sure will be within normal limits. So do not panic about cardiac check up.
Once the examination is within normal limits, the premium of insurance can be reviewed.
Hope this information will help you.
Wish you a good health.
Thanks.
