I had an angioplasty on February 14th, and they did it through my right arm. It's still hurting, and I can't stretch it properly. I've taken painkillers, but the pain just wont go away. What can I do about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Its common to experience pain and discomfort in the arm after an angioplasty, especially if the procedure was done through the arm. I recommend following up with your doctor to ensure there are no complications. In the meantime, gentle stretching and using a warm compress might help ease the pain.

I'm 27 and I've recently noticed my blood pressure's been around 155108, and my heart rate is at 105. I've got a lot of anxiety lately due to work and financial stress. My lifestyle isn't the healthiestI eat a lot of junk food and don't exercise much. I'm 176 cm tall and weigh 78 kg. I saw a doctor who suggested taking METXL TRIO50 for a few months. I'm really hoping to reduce my blood pressure. Is it possible to get back to normal with some quick lifestyle changes?
Yes, you can definitely work on decreasing your blood pressure with lifestyle changes. Here are some recommendations: 1. Start by following a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid or limit your intake of junk food, processed foods, and foods high in salt and saturated fats. 2. Engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. 3. Manage your stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques, mindfulness, yoga, or meditation. 4. Maintain a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise. 5. Limit your alcohol intake and avoid smoking. 6. Ensure you are getting an adequate amount of quality sleep each night. Regarding the medication METXL TRIO50 prescribed by your doctor, it is a combination drug that contains Metoprolol, Telmisartan, and Chlorthalidone. It helps in lowering blood pressure. Follow your doctor's instructions on dosage and duration. It is important to note that while lifestyle changes can help in managing blood pressure, it is essential to continue taking your prescribed medication and follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your progress.

I'm really worried about my grandma. She's 87 and has no history of diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease; but she recently had a silent heart attack. She started complaining of breathlessness a few days later, and tests showed a weakened heart. They treated the pulmonary edema with lasix, and her pulse saturation seems stable now. Should we consider going for angioplasty?
