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?

View allI'm a 46-year-old guy who's a bit on the heavier side. I've always been healthy, but lately, they've told me I've got hypertension. I'm not a fan of allopathic medicine because I'm worried about the long-term side effects. Do you have any natural treatment options for dealing with hypertension?

My dad's looking really tired lately, and I'm worried because he's been on Metocard XL 50 mg twice a day. His blood pressure has been ranging from 13070 to 15075. I'm just trying to understand what might be causing this. Any ideas?
It is possible that your father is experiencing facial weakness as a side effect of Metocard XL (Metoprolol) medication. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers, which can sometimes cause muscle weakness or fatigue as a side effect. However, it is important to note that facial weakness can also be a symptom of other underlying medical conditions. It is recommended to consult with your father's healthcare provider to discuss this symptom and explore other possible causes. In the meantime, it may be helpful to monitor his blood pressure regularly and ensure that it stays within the target range.
