I'm Gajendra, and I'm 30. Lately, I've been having trouble with high blood pressure and a fast pulse. What should I do about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For high blood pressure and elevated pulse, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can take medication to help control your blood pressure. I recommend taking "Losartan" at a starting dosage of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper monitoring and adjustment of your treatment plan.

View allI've been having heart pain for the last 4 days and it's also spreading to my left hand and back. I recently got my ECG done and it showed a negative T wave. I'm getting worried about what this could mean. What should I do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. Based on your description and the ECG report showing negative T waves, it is important to address this issue promptly. You may be experiencing angina or even a heart attack. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. You may be prescribed medications such as Aspirin (325mg) to help reduce the risk of blood clots and relieve chest pain. Additionally, medications like Nitroglycerin may be prescribed to help widen blood vessels and improve blood flow to the heart. Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) may also be prescribed to help lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart. Please seek urgent medical attention to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm really worried about my health because I've been told I have a blockage in 2 of my arteries. The doctor mentioned that my condition isn't good enough for a bypass or CABG surgery. They've suggested I try medication for the first 15 days to see if it helps clear the blockage. How effective is this approach, and what are the chances that the blockage might actually clear up just with medicine?
The doctor may prescribe a combination of medications to help manage the blockage in the arteries. This may include: 1. Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) - 20mg once daily to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages. 2. Aspirin - 75mg once daily to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow through the arteries. 3. Clopidogrel (brand name Plavix) - 75mg once daily to further prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of complications. 4. Ramipril (brand name Altace) - 2.5mg once daily to help lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart. It is important to take these medications as prescribed and follow up with the doctor for further evaluation and management.

My 60-year-old mom has a blockage in her main heart artery 80% blocked. We're confused about the best treatment option should we go for bypass surgery, ECP/EECP, or try those 20 injections the doctor mentioned? They say the injections can clear 50% for sure, and with walking and managing cholesterol, maybe another 30%. What would you suggest is the safest and most effective choice for her?
