My mom has severe pulmonary stenosis and right heart failure, and lately she's been too weak for any physical activity. She's on diuretics and lanoxin but some surgeons said she can't handle open heart surgery. What do you think would be the best treatment options or medications for her condition

Given that open heart surgery is not an option, focusing on symptom management and exploring less invasive options like balloon valvuloplasty is crucial. Medications like diuretics and digoxin (Lanoxin) should be optimized, and additional medications might be considered to manage right heart failure.

I've been tracking my blood pressure for the past six months, and I've noticed my diastolic pressure is consistently between 95 to 106 and my systolic pressure is from 118 to 135. My pulse rate stays between 95 to 113. Occasionally, I feel this heaviness in my chest and get a bit short of breath. When my readings are high, I usually take half a tablet of nebistar h, and sometimes an anxit, but never at the same time. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?

Your symptoms suggest that you may be experiencing hypertension and anxiety. Nebistar H is a combination medication containing Nebivolol and Hydrochlorothiazide, which helps in lowering blood pressure. I recommend taking one tablet of Nebistar H (Nebivolol 5mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg) once daily in the morning. For anxiety, Anxit tablet can be helpful. Anxit contains Alprazolam, which is used to manage anxiety disorders. You can take one tablet of Anxit (Alprazolam 0.25mg) as needed when you feel anxious. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about a situation I'm facing right now. Lately, I've noticed that he can't even make it to 1015 steps without getting super out of breath. But oddly enough, he's able to sleep comfortably. Should I be concerned about this imbalance, and is there something specific I should be looking into or doing for him?
