I'm monitoring my blood pressure with an Omron machine, and it reads 100140, but my pulse is normal. I heard that blood pressure can stay high in winter. Should I think about consulting a doctor for this?

Seasonal changes can indeed affect blood pressure levels in some individuals. If your blood pressure consistently remains at 140100 mmHg, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation. You can consider taking antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper assessment and personalized treatment plan.

View allIt's been 4 years since my dad had an angioplasty, and he hasn't had any follow-ups. He just can't seem to quit chewing smokeless tobacco. I'm really worried if this habit could affect his heart again. He's also having some tooth pain lately but insists that there's no connection between tobacco chewing and heart issues or even toothaches. Is there a medical way to help curb his cravings for tobacco?
Your dad's continued smokeless tobacco chewing significantly increases his risk of another heart attack, as it raises blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiovascular stress, while also potentially leading to tooth pain, gum recession, and oral cancer; to help him manage cravings, consider consulting a doctor about prescription medications like nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), bupropion (Zyban), or varenicline (Chantix), or non-pharmacological approaches like counseling or support groups; regarding his tooth pain, insist he visits a dentist to rule out tobacco-related oral health issues.

I'm feeling really anxious because I've had this mild chest pain between my right breast and the center of my chest for the last 15 days. It happens when I twist my shoulder to the right. I started taking Pantoprazole 40 and Myospaz Forte as recommended by a local doctor three days ago, but the pain is still there. What should I do now?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain in your chest area. In addition to the medications you are already taking, you can try taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the painful area and practicing gentle stretching exercises for the chest and shoulder muscles may also help alleviate the discomfort. Make sure to avoid any activities that worsen the pain and try to maintain good posture. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your local doctor for further evaluation and possibly imaging studies to rule out any other underlying causes of your chest pain.
