Are The Conditions Hypertension, Abnormal EKG And Dry Hair, That Often Breaks, Interrelated?
Hi,
I had an abnormal EKG five years ago and another one last week. All heart tests were normal. I do have hypertension which I managed to lower with diet and exercise but is going up again. I struggle with dry hair which breaks all the time. Is any of this related?

Hi,
i read your concern and would like to say that the abnormal Ecg and hypertension are related because abnormal ECG is a common finding in hypertensive patients.
The dry hair loss isn't related to the other findings.
Hope i answered to your query.
