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 concerned about my dad. He had a massive cardiac attack and the doctors told us that all three of his arteries were blocked. They managed to save him by placing a stunt in one of them. I'm just wondering, what do you think would be the best way forward now? Should we consider bypass surgery, or would it be better to place stunts in the other two arteries too? It's a lot to think about, and I just want to make sure we're making the right decision for his health.
In this case, since your dad already had a stent placed in one of the blocked arteries, the most suitable course of action going further would be to assess the condition of the other two blocked arteries. If the blockages are severe and bypass surgery is deemed necessary, then bypass surgery may be recommended. However, if the blockages are suitable for stenting, then placing stents in the other two arteries may be a more suitable option. It is important to consult with your cardiologist to determine the best course of action based on your dad's individual medical condition.

I just found out that my high sensitive CRP levels are elevated, and my triglycerides are up as well. I'm also dealing with diabetes. Should I be worried about the risk of heart issues since I haven't had any so far?
High sensitive CRP, elevated triglycerides, and diabetes are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. It is important to manage these conditions to prevent future heart problems. To help lower your high sensitive CRP and triglyceride levels, as well as manage your diabetes, you can take medications like Atorvastatin for cholesterol, Metformin for diabetes, and Aspirin for cardiovascular protection. It is also important to follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and monitor your blood sugar levels closely. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan if needed.

I'm concerned about the results from my husband's recent TMT test. He's 49 years old, and I noticed that his blood pressure was 12080 at the start but increased to 13080 afterward. Is this cause for concern, or is it normal for blood pressure to rise like that after a TMT test?
