I'm really worried about my dad who's 55 and has diabetes and high blood pressure. He went for a cardiac check-up about 10 days ago. The ECG came back abnormal but the 2D echo was normal, and the TMT report was positive. They started him on clopitab 75mg along with his regular meds for BP and diabetes, and now they've advised an angiogram. But here's the thing, he has no chest pain or symptoms, and he walks daily. I'm wondering if a CT angio might be a better option since it uses barium dye, and if the calcium score is negative, wed know theres less risk for a cardiac arrest. Could you give me some advice on this?

View allI'm a bit worried because I accidentally took Prolomet R 50 for the second time tonight. Should I also be taking Ecosprin to counteract any potential effects or just wait it out? I'm not sure what to do next.
Taking an extra dose of Prolomet R 50 (Metoprolol) can lead to low blood pressure and heart rate. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate closely. As for taking Ecosprin (Aspirin) along with Prolomet R 50, it is generally safe to take them together as prescribed by your doctor. However, it is always best to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

Is it normal for my husband's resting heart rate to be 84 bpm? His heartbeat usually rates around 90, and we recently had an ECG done that showed his resting heart rate is 84 bpm. Does this sound okay?

I'm 29 and just measured my blood pressure at 13863. Is this normal, or should I think about seeing a cardiologist for more checks?
A blood pressure reading of 13863 falls within the prehypertension range. It is slightly elevated, especially the systolic reading. For individuals aged 29, it is recommended to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to help lower it. If you continue to have elevated readings, you can consider taking antihypertensive medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. Remember to also focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management to improve your overall cardiovascular health.
