I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. It was moderately high a month ago, and now I'm taking Natrilix, 1.5 mg Indapamide. Is it safe for me to have a can of beer every six months, or should I be concerned? I came across some stuff online that's got me scared, and my doctor is currently out of the country.

View allI'm worried about my father. He had angioplasty just yesterday, and now he's got this pain running from the middle of his leg down to his ankle. Is that something to be concerned about, or is it normal after angioplasty?
Pain from the mid-leg to the ankle after an angioplasty could be due to several factors, such as the site of catheter insertion (usually the femoral artery in the groin) or the use of a vascular closure device. While mild discomfort and bruising can be normal, significant pain should be evaluated to rule out complications like hematoma, arterial injury, or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Please consult your father's healthcare provider promptly to assess the cause of the pain and ensure appropriate management.

I've been experiencing some mild chest pain right in the center of my chest, but it only lasts for a few seconds before it goes away. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something simple?
Mild, intermittent chest pain lasting a few seconds, located in the middle of your chest, may indicate non-cardiac causes such as acid reflux, anxiety, or musculoskeletal issues, but to rule out cardiac conditions like angina or myocardial infarction, it's essential to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, including an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests, and possibly stress tests or imaging studies.

I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure. It's usually around 13584 or sometimes 14084, but it never goes beyond 140. My doctor prescribed me torsemide for a short periodonly 20 tabletsand said it's mainly because of anxiety. Is this normal? Should I be worried about taking the torsemide, or is it safe to just stop after finishing the tablets like my doctor suggested?
A blood pressure reading of 13584 or 14084 is slightly elevated but not alarming. Your doctor prescribed torsemide for a short period to manage fluid retention, likely linked to anxiety. It's normal in such cases, but it's important to follow up if you continue to feel concerned.
