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've been feeling a bit worried. I'm 14 and I've noticed my heart starts to race, like palpitations, especially after I've had a lot of sugar or after I've been really stressed out for a couple of days. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about this?
Heart palpitations in young individuals can sometimes be triggered by excessive sugar intake and stress. It is important to monitor your sugar consumption and practice stress management techniques. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Propranolol 10mg to help with the palpitations. However, if the palpitations persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm a little worried about my mom. She's been taking 3mg of warfarin, but her PTINR test just showed 1.27. Since she has heart issues, should we think about upping her dose to 5mg?
An INR of 1.27 indicates that the patient's blood is not clotting as well as it should be on the current dose of warfarin. For a heart patient, the target INR range is usually higher. In this case, it would be advisable to increase the dose of warfarin. I recommend increasing the dose to 4mg and then rechecking the INR in a week to see if it falls within the target range. Regular monitoring and adjustment of the warfarin dose is important to ensure the patient's blood is clotting within the desired range.

I'm really concerned about my dad's health. Last year in July, he had angioplasty and the doctor put two stents in one artery and one stent in another. He's been following the doctor's diet and taking his meds regularly. Is there still a chance his blood vessels might get blocked again?
It is important for your father to continue taking his prescribed medications and follow the doctor's diet chart to reduce the risk of blockage in the blood vessels. To further prevent blockage, the following medications are commonly prescribed after angioplasty: 1. Antiplatelet agents such as Aspirin or Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots - Dosage as per doctor's prescription 2. Statins such as Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin to lower cholesterol levels - Dosage as per doctor's prescription 3. ACE inhibitors or ARBs to control blood pressure and improve heart function - Dosage as per doctor's prescription 4. Beta-blockers to reduce the heart's workload and lower blood pressure - Dosage as per doctor's prescription Regular follow-up appointments with the cardiologist are also important to monitor your father's heart health and make any necessary adjustments to his treatment plan.
