I'm always having chest pain, and it's weird because it gets worse when I'm sitting but seems to get better with walking, exercising, or lying down. This usually kicks in after sitting for over 2 hours at my office. It's been going on for a while now. Can anyone help figure out what might be going on?

View allMy dad just had open heart surgery and he's doing okay right now. How long do we need to keep a close eye on him to be sure he's past any post-surgery complications? It's been 2 days since his surgery.
After open heart surgery, it is important to closely monitor for any post-surgery complications for at least the first few weeks. Common complications can include infection, bleeding, arrhythmias, or issues with the incision site. It is crucial to follow the doctor's recommendations and keep a close eye on any changes in your father's condition. In terms of medications, your father may be prescribed medications such as: - Aspirin: 81mg to 325mg daily to prevent blood clots - Clopidogrel: 75mg daily to prevent blood clots - Statins (such as Atorvastatin): dosage varies, usually taken once daily to manage cholesterol levels It is important to continue monitoring your father's recovery and follow up with his healthcare provider regularly to ensure a smooth recovery process.

I'm trying to figure out which medication I should take to get my blood pressure under control. I'm 105 kgs and 6 feet tall. My blood pressure reading is 140 over 80, and I'm wondering if that's considered severe. Could you recommend something for immediate relief?
To get your blood pressure under control, considering your weight and height, you can start with a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. This medication helps to relax the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. 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. A blood pressure reading of 14080 is considered prehypertension, and it is important to take steps to lower it to prevent it from becoming high blood pressure.
