I'm wondering if having a blood pressure reading of 12060 is considered normal or if it might be something I should be concerned about. I've been leading a pretty healthy lifestyle, but should I think about seeing a doctor?

Your blood pressure reading of 12060 is considered normal and falls within the healthy range. Since you have a healthy lifestyle, there is no immediate cause for concern. However, it's always a good idea to monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, or chest pain, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional.

View allI'm a 31-year-old guy and have been experiencing chest pain since September 2017. All my tests like ECG, echocardiography, lipid profile, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram have come back normal. I also get pain in my hand and jaw, along with dizziness every day. My cardiologists told me it's anxiety disorder, but I'm still worried because the pain is persistent. The doctor has prescribed flavedon MR 35 to take twice a day and said to continue for a month. Should I expect to stop the medication after one month if the symptoms persist, or is this something I might need long-term? I'm just trying to figure out if this plan seems right given my symptoms.

My dad's 76 and a few years back he was diagnosed with triple vessel coronary artery disease and lmca disease. Three years ago, he had an angioplasty and got a stent put in for one of his major artery blocks. The cardiologist suggested we manage the two other 100% blocks with medical management instead of more procedures because of some complications. Small hitch though, post-angioplasty, his kidneys were affected and his creatine level hit 1.6. He's been maintaining it between 1.6 to 1.8 with a strict diet for almost three years now. Recently, his cardiologist changed up his meds to boost his heart function and put him on Isolazine. Now, his blood pressures gone up and one of his legs is swelling. I'm stuck wondering if its fluid retention but is it from his heart or his kidneys acting up? Should we be worried about Isolazine for his kidney health? Hes been on it for around four months. Could it be related? What's your take on this?
Isolazine is not recommended for patients with kidney issues, as it can potentially worsen kidney function and cause fluid retention, which may present as leg swelling. It is advisable to stop Isolazine and consult with the cardiologist for an alternative medication that is safer for kidney function. In the meantime, it is important to monitor his blood pressure closely and manage any fluid retention symptoms.

I'm really worried about my blood pressure because even though I'm taking telma 40, austin cv, and dilgem 90 at night, my bp still isn't under controlit's currently 13797 with a pulse rate of 108. I also discovered I have a 2-80 block in my angiography, though my ECG seems normal. What should I do, and should I be concerned about anything else?
Your current blood pressure reading of 13797 is still elevated, especially with a pulse rate of 108. Since you have significant blockage in one of your coronary arteries, it is important to manage your blood pressure effectively. I recommend adding a calcium channel blocker to your current medication regimen. You can ask your doctor about adding a medication like Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and stress management can also help in controlling your blood pressure.
