I'm experiencing shortness of breath at night when I'm trying to sleep, and it sometimes happens while I'm eating too. Could this be related to fluid in my lungs? What could be causing this?

I'm really worried about my dad's high blood pressure. We've tried consulting multiple doctors, but nothing seems to be helping. Is there anything specific we might be missing or any new treatment options we should consider?

High blood pressure that is difficult to control can be challenging. Your dad may benefit from a combination of medications to help manage his blood pressure. One common combination that doctors prescribe is amlodipine (5mg) along with losartan (50mg) taken once daily. It is important to continue monitoring his blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress to help improve his condition.
