I'm thinking about marrying a girl who's had heart valve surgery. She's 27 and on meds her cardiologist says she'll need forever. I'm worried about what this means for us, especially if we want to have kids. Could her medication cause any side effects or issues with pregnancy? And what should we expect for her health and our life together?

View allI'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure. It's usually around 13584 or sometimes 14084, but it never goes beyond 140. My doctor prescribed me torsemide for a short periodonly 20 tabletsand said it's mainly because of anxiety. Is this normal? Should I be worried about taking the torsemide, or is it safe to just stop after finishing the tablets like my doctor suggested?
A blood pressure reading of 13584 or 14084 is slightly elevated but not alarming. Your doctor prescribed torsemide for a short period to manage fluid retention, likely linked to anxiety. It's normal in such cases, but it's important to follow up if you continue to feel concerned.

I'm really worried about my mother's health right now. She's got high blood pressure, around 14990, and her pulse rate is at 59. I'm just not sure what to do at this point. Can you give me some advice on tests or reports we should consider? Also, what kind of food would be best for her in this situation?
For high blood pressure, it is important to monitor it regularly and make lifestyle changes. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. Some common tests that may be ordered include a lipid profile, kidney function tests, and an electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess heart health. In terms of food, it is important to focus on a heart-healthy diet that is low in sodium, saturated fats, and cholesterol. Encourage your mother to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Additionally, she should limit her intake of processed foods, sugary drinks, and high-sodium foods. In terms of medication, if prescribed by a healthcare provider, commonly used medications for high blood pressure include brands like Lisinopril (10mg once daily) or Amlodipine (5mg once daily). It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions provided by the healthcare provider.
