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?

View allI've been dealing with high blood pressure for the last month, consistently around 170110, even after taking my medication. I'm really concerned about why it's not coming down and what I should do next. Could there be something else going on that I need to check?
It seems like your current medication may not be effectively controlling your blood pressure. I recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your medication. In addition to your current treatment, adding a medication like Amlodipine (5mg) or Lisinopril (10mg) can help lower your blood pressure. Remember to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your blood pressure levels.

What does high blood pressure headache feel like?
According to the research available, most studies show that headache is not a symptom of high blood pressure unless a person is in hypertensive crisis. Hypertensive crisis is a medical emergency where blood pressure is more than 180/120 mm Hg with other symptoms such as nose bleed, chest pain and breathlessness. During this episode, headache can occur which is usually on both sides, pulsating type and increases with activity.

I'm a bit concerned about a medication change I went through. So, originally, I was prescribed Telma 40 AMH at Pace Hospital in Hyderabad, but I started experiencing some leg swelling. Then, at Manipal Hospital in Vijayawada, they switched me over to Cinod T, and I've been on it for about two months now. Should I keep taking the Cinod T, or do you think the original Telma 40 AMH was adequate? Could the leg swelling have been something I should worry about related to the Telma 40 AMH, or is it safe to switch back?
Telma 40 AMH is a combination drug containing Telmisartan and Amlodipine, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Cinod T is a combination drug containing Cilnidipine and Telmisartan, also used for high blood pressure. Since you experienced leg swelling with Telma 40 AMH, it may be advisable to continue with Cinod T as prescribed by Manipal, Vijayawada. Cinod T can be continued if it is effectively controlling your blood pressure without causing any significant side effects. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.
