I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've been told I'm obese, with a BMI of 33.4. I had an echocardiogram done about six months ago, and fortunately, everything looked normal. I'm really trying to keep an eye on my heart health, so I'm curioushow often should I be getting an echocardiogram to make sure everything stays okay?

View allI'm having some trouble with my blood pressureit keeps staying high around 160111 and 155100 even after I've taken my medication. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and what I can do about it?
High blood pressure can be a serious condition if not properly controlled. I recommend you start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, you can also add Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name Microzide) 12.5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.

My dad had a heart attack on July 28th, and they found two blockages. The doctor put in one stent, but there's still another blockage left. Should we be worried about the untreated blockage, and what's usually the next step? What should we watch out for?
