I'm really concerned about my wife's health. Last night, her resting heart rate on the wrist was showing 5257 while she was sleeping. This morning, I checked her blood pressure with our digital home monitor and it was 95 over 86, with a heart rate of 65. Are these numbers too low, and could something be wrong? Also, how reliable is a home BP monitor for checking these things?

A resting heart rate of 52-57 beats per minute is considered normal for some individuals, especially athletes or those who are physically fit. A blood pressure reading of 9586 mmHg is slightly lower than the normal range, but if your wife is not experiencing any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, it may not be a cause for concern. The heart rate of 65 beats per minute is also within the normal range. Home blood pressure monitors can be reliable if used correctly. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with the device, such as positioning the cuff at heart level and ensuring it is the right size for your wife's arm. If your wife is otherwise healthy and not experiencing any symptoms, these readings may not be alarming. However, it is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and personalized advice based on her medical history and overall health status.

My dad had a heart attack recently and the doctor suggested he needs an angiography. I'm really worried and wonder what we should expect from this procedure. Is it risky, or are there any side effects we should be aware of? How soon should he have it done, and is there anything specific we need to prepare for before the angiography?
After a heart attack, angiography is often recommended to assess the extent of blockages in the coronary arteries. This procedure can help determine the best course of treatment. Your father may be prescribed medications such as Aspirin, Clopidogrel, and Atorvastatin to prevent further complications and manage his heart health. The dosage and duration of these medications will be determined by his doctor based on his individual condition.
