View allI want to understand if digital blood pressure machines are reliable. Lately, my readings are often above 14090, though sometimes they drop lower. Should I trust these numbers, or do you think I need to check in with a doctor?
digital blood pressure machines are generally accurate if used correctly. However, it is important to ensure that you are using the machine properly, such as positioning the cuff at heart level and following the instructions provided with the device. Variations in blood pressure readings can occur due to factors like stress, caffeine intake, or even the time of day. If you consistently see readings above 14090, it is advisable to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult a doctor for further evaluation. In case of high blood pressure, medications like Losartan 50mg or Amlodipine 5mg may be prescribed to help manage it."

My mom was diagnosed with chest pain on December 7, 2018. She's in the hospital, and the doctor did an angiography and is suggesting a bypass. I'm really worried and just want to know if the bypass is absolutely necessary and how long we can safely delay it. She's had blood pressure for about 10 years and diabetes for the last 4 years. Could you please advise?
"Hi Nirav, based on the information provided, if your mother has been diagnosed with chest pain and the doctor has recommended bypass surgery after performing Angiography, it is likely that the bypass surgery is necessary to improve blood flow to the heart. Given her history of high blood pressure and diabetes, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendation in a timely manner to prevent any further complications. I would recommend discussing any concerns or questions about the timing of the bypass surgery with the treating physician to determine the best course of action. In the meantime, it is important for your mother to continue taking her prescribed medications for blood pressure and diabetes as directed. For chest pain relief, she can take medications like Aspirin and Nitroglycerin as prescribed by the doctor. It is important to follow the doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of these medications. Regular follow-up appointments with the doctor are also essential to monitor her condition and make any necessary adjustments to her treatment plan. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask. Take care."
