I'm really worried because for the past four months I've been dealing with high blood pressure, fatigue, and dizziness. A month ago, I saw a physician who told me my BP was 150100 and put me on some tablets. I started with Prolomet XL 25, then added Amlong 2.5 after dinner. For a couple of weeks, things seemed better with my BP at 13080, but the dizziness and fatigue haven't gone away. I've never felt like this before. Do you think there are other medicines I should consider or any other advice you might have?

It's good that your blood pressure has improved with the medications you are currently taking. However, if you are still experiencing dizziness and fatigue, it may be necessary to adjust your medication regimen. I would recommend adding a medication like Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5mg once daily in the morning. This medication can help further control your blood pressure and reduce the dizziness and fatigue symptoms you are experiencing. Remember to consult with your physician before making any changes to your medication regimen."

I'm really worried because my uncle just had a heart attack and we're in a different country than he is. He's been in intensive care for around 6 hours now. Does that mean it's not life-threatening anymore? How long do people usually survive after having a heart attack? Just trying to understand what we should expect.

The time elapsed since the heart attack occurred is an important factor in determining the prognosis. The first few hours after a heart attack are critical, and the sooner medical treatment is received, the better the chances of survival and recovery. Being in intensive care means that he is receiving close monitoring and specialized care to address any complications that may arise. It is difficult to predict the outcome without knowing the specific details of his case, but being in intensive care is a positive sign that he is receiving the necessary treatment. It is important to follow the advice of the medical team caring for your uncle.
