I'm really worried because my husband keeps having this slight pain and tightness in the center of his chest. It's especially bothersome when he coughs or takes a deep breath during these episodes. It's not happening all the time, but I'm not sure if we should investigate heart problems or something else. There aren't any other symptoms to go off of. What should we do?

Normal blood pressure is a reading less than 120/80 mm Hg. Any reading above 120/80 mm Hg checked consequently for three days needs a doctor's opinion.

I've got a situation that's really been weighing on my mind. Someone close to me is having a heart artery valve operation, and I've learned that their valve is leaking blood. I've heard about a medication called Dilzem60, but I'm not sure if it's safe in this situation. Can you help me understand if taking Dilzem60 is advisable for someone dealing with a leaking heart valve? It would be great if you could shed some light on this.

Consult Your Cardiologist Immediately: If you suspect the valve is leaking or if you're experiencing symptoms like swelling, shortness of breath, or fatigue, contact your cardiologist immediately. Monitor Your Symptoms: Keep track of any new or worsening symptoms. Let your doctor know if you experience dizziness, chest pain, irregular heartbeats, or shortness of breath. Follow Your Doctor's Instructions: Only take the medications your cardiologist prescribes, and avoid self-adjusting the dose or stopping medications like Dilzem without their guidance.
