I'm noticing that my blood pressure readings are different in each arm. The left side shows 90160, while the right is 80125. Could you tell me which one is correct? Also, my lipid and sugar levels are normal, and I feel okay when I walk around, but I still feel anxious. What should I do?

It is recommended to consider the blood pressure reading from the right hand (80125) as it is lower and more accurate. To manage anxiety, you can take a medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 0.5mg as needed. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Can I take ursolic 300 along with roseday gold 10 and teli cm 25? Is it safe to use all these medicines together? I'm a little worried about possible interactions or side effects. What do you think?

When considering taking Ursolic 300 (ursodeoxycholic acid) along with Roseday Gold 10 (a combination of rosuvastatin, aspirin, and clopidogrel) and Teli CM 25 (a combination of telmisartan and chlorthalidone), it is important to consult your healthcare provider to ensure safety and appropriateness. These medications have different mechanisms of action and can interact in various ways. While Ursolic 300 is used for liver-related issues, Roseday Gold addresses cardiovascular risk factors, and Teli CM is used for hypertension. Your doctor will need to consider your overall health, liver and kidney function, and any potential interactions or side effects. Therefore, always consult with your healthcare provider before combining these medications to ensure they are safe for your specific health conditions

I'm really concerned about my father's angiography report and was hoping you could take a look. It mentions a 60% lesion in the mid LAD, an 80% lesion in the proximal segment of the LCX, and a 90% lesion in the mid RCA. Does he need an angioplasty, and how many of these blockages should it address?

Whether angioplasty is required depends on a lot of factors. Of course the percentage of narrowing is an important factor. In case your cardiologist has suggested angioplasty it will most likely be necessary. But in case you want to be doubly sure, it will be worth considering a second opinion from another cardiologist.

I've been noticing that when I'm lying down, I can actually feel my heartbeat. Is this what's known as palpitation? It doesn't feel like that scary, pounding sensation, just a slight awareness of my heartbeat. Should I be concerned?

Yes, feeling your heart beat when lying down can be considered palpitations. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking propranolol 10mg once daily to help with palpitations.
