I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. Normally, it sits around 12090, but every now and then, it'll spike to about 130100, or drop to 10080. It used to be at 10070. I'm trying to find a natural solution and wondering if Ayurveda could help manage this, as I really don't want to be on medication forever. I lead a pretty active lifestyle, and I'm really careful with my diet and regular exercise. What do you think? Is there an alternative approach I could try?

View allI'm a bit confused about something in my recent medical results. My ECHO came back showing normal pulmonary arteries, but I've been told I might have mild PHT. How is it possible to have mild pulmonary hypertension if the echo indicates the arteries are fine? What should I make of this?
Yes, it is possible to have mild pulmonary hypertension (PHT) even when the ECHO shows that the pulmonary arteries are normal. In such cases, treatment may involve medications such as sildenafil (Revatio) or tadalafil (Adcirca) to help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. The dosage and duration of treatment would depend on the severity of the condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional.

I'm a bit worried about my mom's condition after her angioplasty. It's been about three weeks now and her hand was pretty swollen. The swelling is getting better, but there are still blue and red patches on her skin. They seem to be fading, and the pain isn't as bad as before, but I'm just really curious about what's causing these color changes. Does this indicate something serious, or is it a normal part of the healing process? Her current medications include Brilinta, Ecosprin, and insulin. I've attached a photo to show you what it looks like. Could you help me understand what's happening?
The blue and red color patches on your mother's hand after angioplasty are likely due to bruising and inflammation, which can be a common side effect of the procedure. As the swelling has reduced and the patches are vanishing slowly, along with a reduction in pain, it indicates that her body is healing properly. This is a normal part of the recovery process after angioplasty. To help with the healing process, you can continue with the current medications. Additionally, you can apply a cold compress to the affected area and elevate the hand to reduce swelling. If there is persistent pain or if you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, warmth, or discharge from the area, then it would be advisable to consult with the treating physician for further evaluation.
