I'm a bit worried about heart health and wanted to ask. What are some early signs I should watch out for that might suggest a heart attack? And how long do those symptoms usually last before it gets serious? Also, I've heard about angina and heart attacks, but I'm not quite sure how they're different. Could you explain that for me?

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's been on metosartan 25mg for about three weeks now, and the doctor recently told him to switch to 50mg. Despite this and his efforts like walking and cutting down on salt, his blood pressure still isn't going down. Is there anything else we can do to help reduce his BP?

I've been on blood pressure meds for the past couple of months, but recently I've been experiencing a heavy feeling in my head and some dimness, especially at night. It's starting to worry me. Could you provide some guidance on what I should do next?
"Hello, based on your symptoms of feeling heavy-headed and dizzy, especially at night, it is possible that you may be experiencing side effects from your blood pressure medication. I would recommend consulting with your doctor to discuss these symptoms. They may consider adjusting your medication or trying a different one. In the meantime, make sure to monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you are taking amlodipine for your blood pressure, the dosage is typically 5-10 mg once daily."
