I'm really worried because I've heard that heart attack symptoms in women can be different from what men experience. Can you explain what signs I should be looking out for? And how can I tell if chest pain is from a heart attack or just something else? Its been on my mind lately, and I'd love some clarity.

Which arm to measure blood pressure right or left?
Both the arms can be used for BP measurement and sometimes, your doctor might take two readings from two arms to check for any variations too. Generally, it's best to take your blood pressure from your left arm if you are right-handed.

My mom's blood pressure spiked to 170100, and the doctor suggested she take Telma 40 mg once daily. It's already been five days, but her BP hasn't budged. Should I think about checking back in with the doctor for a medication switch, or is it normal for the meds to take a bit longer to work?
That seems single drug is not working soo visit physician for starting two drugs course
