Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I will be 84 years of age this month. My readings today have been 95/51 - pulse 89; 108/45 - pulse 74, 92/59 - pulse 98 and 122/47 - pulse 70. Is this anything to be concerned about? I have been diagnosed with congested heart failure, atrial fibrillation with leaky mitro valve. On three of the readings my heart was fibrillating (according to my little gauge). I also am wearing a pacemaker.
Brief answer, You have to continue with digoxin 0.25mg tablet for 5 days a week for congestive heart failure
Detailed Explanation, 1. I read your query i am happy to help you. You already mentioned that your blood pressure readings are low. 2. This suggests that you have Congestive heart failure with mitral valve prolapse commonly called as Left Heart Failure. 3. This problem is common to your age i mean more than 75 years of age 4. For congestive heart failure use Digoxin 0.25mg for 5 days in a week For atrial fibrillation you have to use Amiodorone tablets 5. At this age surgery is contraindicated due to low blood pressure
Hope this information helps...
