Hello,

You may be suffering from rheumatic fever with rheumatic heart disease. So as a secondary prophylaxis they are giving Benzathine Penicillins I thought.

Please post your echocardiogram report. If your suffering from high blood pressure post what is your blood pressure. How frequently it is fluctuating?

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
