I'm really concerned about my blood pressure. I take Telma 20 every day, but it's still high at 150100. If I eat out, it shoots up to around 170110. What can I do to bring it down to normal levels?

Increasing Height After 24
Genetic Limitations
- Height determined by genetics: Height is largely determined by genetics, making it challenging to significantly increase height after a certain age.
- Growth plates closure: Growth plates in the bones typically close by the early 20s, limiting further growth.
Exercise and Healthy Alternatives
- Stretching and exercise: Certain exercises, like yoga, Pilates, or stretching, can help improve posture, making you appear taller.
- Hanging exercises: Hanging exercises, like pull-ups or hanging leg raises, can help stretch the spine, potentially increasing height by a small amount (0.5-1 inch).
- Good posture and core strength: Maintaining good posture and core strength can also help you appear taller.
Supplements and Alternative Methods
- No proven supplements: There are no scientifically proven supplements that can significantly increase height after 24.
- Avoid unproven methods: Be cautious of unproven methods, like height-increasing pills or devices, as they may be ineffective or even harmful.
Realistic Expectations
- Small increases possible: While it's unlikely to increase height by 2-4 inches, you may be able to achieve a small increase (0.5-1 inch) through exercise and good posture.
- Focus on overall health: Prioritize overall health and wellness, rather than focusing solely on increasing height.

My mom had an angioplasty about a month and a half ago and shes got a stent now. Just wondering, she started having this itchiness and rash on her calves last week which is a bit better now. Could this be some sort of reaction to the stent or maybe the meds? And if it is, is there anything we can do to help ease it?

I'm feeling pretty anxious because I've been experiencing shortness of breath for a few months now. I had an echo and ECG done, and the results said everything was normal except for something called grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I'm not sure what that means, and even though my doctor said its nothing to worry about, I'm still a bit concerned. Could you help explain what grade 1 diastolic dysfunction is and whether it could be causing my symptoms? Should I be doing anything specific to manage it?
grade 1 diastolic dysfunction normal..salt restricted diet ,dash diet and regular aerobic exercises is advised to the patient.
