View allI'm really worried because my uncle just had a heart attack and we're in a different country than he is. He's been in intensive care for around 6 hours now. Does that mean it's not life-threatening anymore? How long do people usually survive after having a heart attack? Just trying to understand what we should expect.
The time elapsed since the heart attack occurred is an important factor in determining the prognosis. The first few hours after a heart attack are critical, and the sooner medical treatment is received, the better the chances of survival and recovery. Being in intensive care means that he is receiving close monitoring and specialized care to address any complications that may arise. It is difficult to predict the outcome without knowing the specific details of his case, but being in intensive care is a positive sign that he is receiving the necessary treatment. It is important to follow the advice of the medical team caring for your uncle.

My mom's having some trouble with hypertension. Her systolic measurement sometimes hits 123, and the diastolic is around 95 and even reaches 98 occasionally. I'm really concerned about why her blood pressure isn't considered normal or stable, especially when it sometimes goes up to 140 over 102. What could be causing these fluctuations?
Your mother might be showing early signs of developing systemic hypertension. Regular monitoring of her blood pressure will confirm the diagnosis, and she can be consequently started on a anti-hypertensive regimen of medication. Lifestyle modifications with dietary changes may be necessary for maintaining a healthy blood pressure. It is best to consult a physician who will monitor her progress over a long period of time.
