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 allMy doctor recommended bypass surgery but I'm unsure if it's really necessary - what are the alternatives or things I should consider before going ahead with this procedure
Before undergoing bypass surgery, consider alternatives like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (angioplasty with stenting) and Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP). Discuss your concerns and explore all options with your doctor and heart care team to determine the most appropriate course of action.

I've been dealing with hypertension for the last 12 years and usually take TOZAM Losartan 50mg Amlodipine 5mg in the morning. But about a month ago, I noticed some palpitations and sweating, and when I checked, my blood pressure was 95150. After getting checked at the hospital, they did an angiogram and said theres a minor artery disease with a 30% block. Now, they've put me on TOZAM and Prolomate XL 25mg Metoprolol 25mg every morning, plus Rosutor Gold Aspirin at night. I'm wondering, do I really need to be on both TOZAM and Prolomate, or is there something else I should be considering?
Yes both are required to regulate your haert function,no need to worry follow your doctors advice and maintain healthy lifestyle.

I've been feeling really off for the past 10 days. I get this suffocating sensation that eases up only after taking a few deep breaths, but it comes back when I lay down to sleep. It's like a mild pain on my left chest that feels kind of muscular, and it also affects the left side of my neck and shoulder. My schedule's a mess 'cause I work in ITI'm up till like 3 AM and sleep around 1 PM. I haven't had any severe pain, but I do get this sudden feeling where its like Im not getting enough oxygen. There's no history of heart or pulmonary issues in my family. Should I be worried about this?
It sounds like you're experiencing occasional breathlessness, which may be related to muscle strain or poor posture, especially with your irregular sleep schedule. It's important to monitor these symptoms, but considering the absence of severe pain or a family history of heartlung issues, it might also be linked to stress or sleep disruption. However, I recommend consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions.
