I'm 17 years old and I've recently gotten some blood pressure readings like 13080 and 13081. I'm kind of worried and wondering if these numbers are normal for my age. Would appreciate some insight on this.

These blood pressure readings fall within the prehypertension range for your age group. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to keep it in a healthy range. You can try to reduce your sodium intake, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, and manage stress. If these measures are not enough to lower your blood pressure, you may need medication. I recommend you to consult with a doctor to discuss further evaluation and treatment options.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 74 and had angioplasty six months ago, but now he's got another arterial block that's 70% blocked. The surgery's being delayed because his creatinine level is 3.2, which I believe is quite high, right? Also, he was on Brilinta, but they told him to stop because his platelet count dropped to 58,000. He's having chest pain now, and I'm wondering what we should be doing here? Is his health in serious risk? What steps should we take to manage this situation?
Given the patient's history of angioplasty, a 70% arterial blockage, elevated creatinine level of 3.2, and low platelet count of 58,000, the current chest pain is concerning and requires immediate medical attention. The discontinuation of Brilinta due to low platelet counts increases the risk of clot formation. The patient should be evaluated urgently by a cardiologist and a nephrologist to manage both the cardiac and renal issues. Alternative anti-platelet strategies may be needed, and continuous cardiac monitoring, possibly including a coronary angiogram, should be performed. A multidisciplinary approach involving cardiologists, nephrologists, and hematologists is essential to address the complexities of his condition

I've recently switched to Telma 40 from Inzit 4 mg just a few days ago, and while my blood pressure was normal initially, today it shot up to 135 over 105. Plus, I'm experiencing this tingling sensation in my hands and feet. I'm wondering, should I give it more time for my body to adjust to Telma? Will these side effects eventually go away, or would it be better to revert to Inzit, even though it gave me quite a few side effects too? What do you think I should do?
continue the same medications, all medications to be continued.. cough is the side effect nothing to worry..
