Question 1

I've been dealing with high blood pressure around 175110 and usually manage it with Amlopress AT, but lately, Ive had to take Calcigard 5mg and Lasix 40mg to try and control it. It seems to help for a bit, but then my pressure goes right back up after a few hours. What could be causing this, and is there something else I should be doing or considering? My pulse is around 63 if thats important.

Accepted Answer

. It seems like your blood pressure is not well controlled with the current medication. I would recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your treatment plan. In addition to your current medications, you may benefit from adding a different class of antihypertensive medication such as an ACE inhibitor or a beta-blocker. For example, you can consider adding a medication like Concor 5mg (beta-blocker) or Ramipril 5mg (ACE inhibitor) to help better control your blood pressure. It's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I've been feeling some pressure and uneasiness in my heart for the past week, and it usually lasts about an hour. Sometimes it feels a bit better when I cough, but it's only a temporary relief. I'm not experiencing chest pain or getting tired when I work out, which is puzzling. Could this be related to stomach gas or something else? I also got my lipid profile checked, and things seem a bit off with high triglycerides and non-HDL cholesterol. What could be causing these symptoms, and are there any changes I should make to my diet?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and lipid profile, the uneasiness and pressure at the heart lasting for about an hour could be related to your high triglyceride levels. The cough providing temporary relief may be due to associated gastric reflux. To address this, you should consider making some dietary changes to improve your lipid profile and overall heart health. I recommend reducing your intake of saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol-rich foods. Increase your consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Additionally, incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts can help lower triglyceride levels. In terms of medication, you may benefit from a prescription medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. The usual starting dose for Atorvastatin is 10-20 mg once daily, but your doctor may adjust this based on your lipid profile and response to treatment. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your lipid profile and heart symptoms. Regular monitoring and adherence to lifestyle modifications and prescribed medications are crucial in managing your condition.

Question 3

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.
