I'm a 67-year-old who's been taking Revelol XL 50, but my blood pressure numbers always seem to hang around 15090. I've decided to switch to Concor 5 in hopes of getting them down to 12080. Is this a good move, and could you explain what I might expect during this transition?

Why do cardiac arrests happen in the bathroom?

Water temperature,most often incidences of stroke or heart attack in the bathroom happen more in winter than in summer. Chilled water can cause the arteries to shrink and prevent blood flow to vital organs like the heart and brain.

I'm currently on medication for high blood pressure and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take Viagra 50 mg. I'm really looking for advice from an allopathy doctor on this. Can you help me figure this out?

Using Viagra while on blood pressure medication can be safe under medical supervision, but it's important to get an assessment from your doctor. They will consider the specifics of your blood pressure medication, overall health, and any potential interactions to determine the best course of action. Always follow your doctor's advice to avoid any complications.
