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.

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He just had angioplasty with stents put in last month, and now he's dealing with a heavy cold, runny nose, and watery eyes that wont quit. He's already on a bunch of meds for his coronary disease, so I'm hesitant about what to give him for relief. Do you think cetrizine is okay to help with the runny nose, or is there anything else you'd recommend that won't mess with his existing meds?
For treating the cold symptoms without interfering with his current medications, you can give your father cetirizine. The recommended dosage for cetirizine is 5-10mg once daily. This antihistamine will help relieve his runny nose and watery eyes without causing significant interactions with his coronary disease medications.

I'm having some mild shortness of breath along with chest tightness and a bit of back pain that spreads to my neck. I've done tests like ECG, echo, TMT, chest X-ray, diabetes checks, and PFT, and all came back normal, but my cholesterol was high. I'm taking Rosuvas for that and also Amlodipine for high blood pressure. My weight is 110 kg, and my BP is 14090. Should I be getting any more tests or changing my meds? I'm also in the process of trying to lose weight. What do you think?
