I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 63 and has been dealing with high blood pressure for a while now, but today his blood pressure reading was something like 12255. Do you think that's unusual or something to worry about? Hes also been passing urine more often than usual, like 8 to 10 times in just 3 hours. Plus, he has high blood sugar and manages it with ayurvedic medicine. Could this all be connected somehow? Just trying to figure out if there's anything serious going on or if it's okay. Any advice would be really helpful.

Considering his symptoms and blood pressure reading, it is important to monitor his condition closely. The low diastolic blood pressure (55) may indicate inadequate blood flow to his organs. I recommend consulting his doctor to adjust his high blood pressure medication. Additionally, the frequent urination could be a sign of uncontrolled blood sugar levels. He may need a review of his ayurvedic medication or additional treatment. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential in this situation.

View allI'm really worried about some ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing. After a rod hit me in the chest back in November 2015, I had a brief issue with my breathing, which seemed to get better. But then, by February 2016, I started having severe chest pain. I got checked at CMH Narayana Hrudayalaya to see if it was related to my heart, but everything came out fine. This pain keeps coming back, and it's like a muscle pull behind my rib cage. Could this be a problem with my heart or even my lungs?

I'm having these ongoing pressure-like pains in my chest, neck, and shoulder. It's really making me anxious, even though I had an echo and TMT just two months ago, and they were normal. My cardiologist said its not my heart, but I cant shake off the fear of possibly having a heart attack. What might be causing this pain, and how can I deal with this anxiety?
Since your cardiologist has already ruled out any heart-related issues with a normal echo and TMT two months ago, the pain may be due to musculoskeletal issues or other non-cardiac causes. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain relief. Additionally, you can use muscle relaxants like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) to help with any muscle tension contributing to your discomfort. It's important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the medication packaging. If the pain persists or worsens, consider consulting with a physician for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about heart health. Could you tell me what tests are usually done to find heart disease? And what are the early signs of a heart attack I should watch out for? Also, what can I do to prevent a heart attack from happening in the first place?
To detect heart disease in the body, tests such as Electrocardiogram (ECG), Echocardiogram, Stress test, Cardiac catheterization, and CT scan may be done. Symptoms of a heart attack may include chest pain or discomfort, upper body pain, shortness of breath, nausea, lightheadedness, and cold sweats. To prevent a heart attack, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet low in saturated fats, managing stress, avoiding smoking, and controlling conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes.
