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.

I'm really worried because my father recently had a heart attack on June 4th, and the doctor said he needs a CT angiography. The report came back saying his right arteries are blocked by 100%, 90%, and 70%. I'm not sure what we should do next. Could you tell me what steps we should be taking and maybe give me an idea of how much a bypass surgery might cost?
Based on the CT angiography report showing significant blockages in the right arteries, the next step would be to consult with a cardiac surgeon for a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The surgery involves using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body to bypass the blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart. As for the approximate cost of bypass surgery, it can vary depending on the hospital, location, and specific circumstances of the surgery. On average, the cost of CABG surgery can range from $20,000 to $50,000 or more. It is recommended to consult with the hospital or healthcare provider for a more accurate estimate based on your father's condition and the chosen medical facility.
