I'm really worried about a situation I'm facing right now. Lately, I've noticed that he can't even make it to 1015 steps without getting super out of breath. But oddly enough, he's able to sleep comfortably. Should I be concerned about this imbalance, and is there something specific I should be looking into or doing for him?

The doctors found two major blockages 95% and 99% and are recommending bypass surgery, but his creatinine level is high at 2.58. They say his kidneys might not handle the surgery well. What are our options here? Also, could you suggest a diet that helps both his heart and kidneys?

Im 17 and dont have high blood pressure issues, and no one in my family does either. I just checked my bp, and first, it showed 13095, which freaked me out a bit, so I retook it, and it went to 13598. Then, I took it yet again, and it showed 13998. Is a bp of 13898 normal? I get really anxious every time I check it, and my breathing changes and I get a bit tense. Can you help?
It is understandable that you are feeling anxious about your blood pressure readings. A blood pressure of 13898 is slightly elevated and may indicate prehypertension. However, given your young age and the possibility of anxiety affecting your readings, it is important to take multiple readings at different times to get a more accurate assessment. To help manage your anxiety during blood pressure checks, you can try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation. It may also be helpful to monitor your blood pressure regularly and keep a record to share with your healthcare provider. If you continue to experience anxiety or have concerns about your blood pressure, you may consider speaking with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm planning to do a treadmill stress test soon, and I'm a bit nervous about what blood pressure and pulse rate levels are considered too high or too low during the test. Also, what does it mean if the test results come back as TMT positive or negative? I'm trying to understand what I should be looking out for.
During a treadmill test, the allowed blood pressure level is usually below 200110 mmHg. The allowed pulse rate can vary depending on age, but generally should not exceed 85% of the maximum predicted heart rate for the individual's age. A TMT (Treadmill Test) is considered positive if there is significant ST segment depression on the ECG during or after exercise, indicating possible coronary artery disease. It is considered negative if there are no significant ECG changes during the test, suggesting a lower likelihood of coronary artery disease.
