I'm really concerned because my dad had an angioplasty a few days ago, and they put in a stent. Since then, he's been having a really bad dry cough at night. The doctor gave us some medicine, but it doesnt seem to be making any difference. I'm worried this might affect his stent or his heart. Could this cough be connected to the procedure or the medication? What should we do next?

I'm really worried about my 67-year-old dad. He had an angioplasty just five days ago and now he's running a fever. The doctor gave him Ceftum 500 and he's already taken two tablets, but the fever keeps coming back. Plus, he had constipation for a couple of days, so we tried giving him Looz syrup, and now he's got loose motions. What should we do?

I'm wondering if you can help me understand what's going on with my blood pressure. It's been fluctuating a lot, sometimes shooting up to 180 over 110, and my pulse rate gets really high too. My heart and sugar levels are fine, but this blood pressure issue is worrying me. Do you have any advice or medication suggestions to help stabilize it?
