Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Right Vertical

Hi, my boyfriend, age 37/350 lbs with an enlarged right ventricle, has a blood sugar level of 375. He says he s feeling dizzy, shaking, sweating and has a headache. Is this something we should go to the ER for? Should we wait a little bit and see if it goes down with water and rest?

Hi,welcome to Healthcare magic.
Thanks for posting your question on this forum.
I understand your query and concern.
The symptoms in your case are related to elevated blood pressure and subsequent strain on heart.This can sometimes lead to headache.You need to be treated with anti hypertensive drugs like ace inhibotors ex losartan.Maintain your blood pressure under 130/80 mm of hg.Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6 gm /day.I advise you to have a baseline ECG and 2 dimensional echo on the follow up to have a recent quick review of your cardiac functional reserve.
Consult an expert cardiologist for further expert management.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
