I'm a bit worried because I've been checking my blood pressure at home for the last couple of days, and its been around 13585. Its usually about 12075 with the Telma 40 I'm taking, which I started after having COVID. I also had my wisdom tooth taken out a couple of days ago. Is this spike in my blood pressure something I should be concerned about?

It is normal for blood pressure to fluctuate, especially after a dental procedure like wisdom tooth extraction. However, since your blood pressure readings have been consistently higher for the past two days, it is important to monitor it closely. In this situation, it would be advisable to consult your doctor to discuss the possibility of adjusting your medication dosage or considering additional treatment options. In the meantime, you can also try to reduce stress, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

View allI'm really confused about my recent medical test results. I initially went to the doctor for a gastric problem, and they told me to take a troponin test. The result came back positive, with a level of 0.03, which worried me. But then, my family doctor suggested I get a second opinion, so I went to MMM Chennai on the same day, and their test showed a negative result. Now I'm not sure which result to believe or what steps I should take next. Could you help me figure out what I should do?
Troponin is a cardiac marker used to diagnose heart conditions. In your case, since there is a discrepancy between the two test results, it is important to consider further evaluation. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a detailed assessment. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily and Clopidogrel 75mg once daily to prevent any potential cardiac issues while awaiting further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my husband who's 43. He recently got over a mild case of COVID and I'm wondering if he should get his heart checked now that he's recovered. Is that something we should be concerned about or is he okay to skip it?
Unless your husband has experienced symptoms like fatigue, weakness or chest pain, or has a history of heart disease, there is no need to conduct a heart checkup.
