Question 1

I'm 22 years old and my blood pressure is 160100. I know I'm obese, could that be causing the high BP? I'm trying to lose weight now.

your obesity is likely contributing to your high blood pressure (HBP), as excess weight can increase blood vessel resistance, cardiac output, and sodium retention; losing weight through a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes can help lower your BP, aim for a 5-10% weight loss to start

Question 2

I'm currently taking Ld 1075 mg capsules and I've also been using Rosumac Gold. I did an ECG, echo, and TMT test, and all the results came back normal. Six months ago, my sugar levels were high, so I'm keeping an eye on that. My lipid profile and cholesterol levels seem normal, but I'm still a bit worried. Can you tell me if there are any side effects I should watch out for with these medications, especially since I'm a sugar patient?

Question 3

I'm really worried about my dad. He had angioplasty done on March 1st, but he's still gasping and not feeling well. We're consulting with Dr. Shirish MS Hiremath, but it doesn't seem like there's any improvement. I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice on how to help him feel better?

Accepted Answer

t's important to address his symptoms of gasping and feeling unwell. In this case, considering his recent angioplasty, it's important to ensure he is not experiencing any complications related to the procedure. One possible cause of his symptoms could be related to heart function or fluid buildup in the lungs. It's important to follow up with his current consultant, Dr. Shirish MS Hiremath, for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, medications like Furosemide (Lasix) can help with fluid retention and shortness of breath. The usual starting dose for Furosemide is 20-80 mg per day, but the actual dose will depend on his specific condition and should be determined by his healthcare provider. Additionally, medications like Ramipril (Altace) can help improve heart function post-angioplasty. The usual starting dose for Ramipril is 2.5-5 mg once a day, but again, the dose may vary based on his individual needs. It's important for your dad to continue following up with his healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of his symptoms.

I'm a 28-year-old male and I've noticed that for the past 6 months, my resting heart rate has consistently been over 100, sometimes getting up to 120. I'm really wondering if this is something normal or if I should be concerned about it. Is this something I need to get checked out?
