I've been checking my blood pressure over the past few days and my average reading is around 14090. When I checked it a second time, it was showing 13089. Is this something I should be concerned about? Can you give me some advice?

View allMy mom, who's 75, has been having this center chest pain for 25 days now. Last week the doctor gave her met xl 12.5 and veloz d to take every morning after looking at her ECG report, but it hasn't helped with the pain. Today, after checking her 2D echo, they suggested she take Mucaine syrup and Sucrafil three times a day for a month. She's also on telmikind am 80 (half a tablet) and rosuless c 10 every night. I'm really worried since it's been more than a week without improvement. Do you have any idea what might be causing this pain?
Based on the medications your mother is currently taking and the symptoms described, the chest pain could be due to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The medications prescribed such as Veloz D, Mucaine, and Sucrafil are commonly used to treat symptoms of acid reflux. It is possible that the pain is related to acid irritation in the esophagus. To further alleviate the symptoms, you can consider adding a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) such as Esomeprazole (brand name: Nexium) or Pantoprazole (brand name: Protonix) to reduce stomach acid production. The usual dosage for Esomeprazole is 20-40mg once daily before a meal, and for Pantoprazole, it is 40mg once daily in the morning. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, avoiding lying down after eating, and maintaining a healthy weight can also help in managing acid reflux symptoms. It is important to continue the current medications as prescribed and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation if the chest pain persists.

My dad, who's 69, got really bad chest pains about five days ago and the ECG showed he had a heart attack. They did an angiography too and found there's blockage in three arteriesone's at 90 percent, another at 70, and the last one at 50 percent. The doctor said he needs surgery. I'm really worried and wanted to get your opinion on this. Is surgery the only option, and what kind of risks are we looking at? Are there any alternatives or additional things we should consider?
yes angiolasty is recommended to your father as there triple vessel disease and three arteries are blocked .
