I'm really worried about my dad he's just 43 and had a heart attack about a month and a half ago. They did an angioplasty and put in a stent, but now the doctor says one of his heart valves isn't working right and needs replacing. His heart is only working at 30% right now. Is it safe for him to go through a bypass surgery at this point, and if he does, how long can we expect him to live after that?

I've been having an abnormal heart rate for the past month, consistently between 90 and 110. I was on high blood pressure medication but stopped taking it two months ago based on my doctor's advice. They told me to keep an eye on my blood pressure, but I'm worried about whether my heart rate is something to be concerned about. Should I be seeing any changes, or is this normal after stopping the medication?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure. Since you are experiencing an abnormal heart rate, it is crucial to manage your blood pressure effectively. You can monitor your blood pressure at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. If your blood pressure remains consistently high, your doctor may recommend restarting your high blood pressure medication. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.
