View allI'm a bit worried about my mom's condition after her angioplasty. It's been about three weeks now and her hand was pretty swollen. The swelling is getting better, but there are still blue and red patches on her skin. They seem to be fading, and the pain isn't as bad as before, but I'm just really curious about what's causing these color changes. Does this indicate something serious, or is it a normal part of the healing process? Her current medications include Brilinta, Ecosprin, and insulin. I've attached a photo to show you what it looks like. Could you help me understand what's happening?
The blue and red color patches on your mother's hand after angioplasty are likely due to bruising and inflammation, which can be a common side effect of the procedure. As the swelling has reduced and the patches are vanishing slowly, along with a reduction in pain, it indicates that her body is healing properly. This is a normal part of the recovery process after angioplasty. To help with the healing process, you can continue with the current medications. Additionally, you can apply a cold compress to the affected area and elevate the hand to reduce swelling. If there is persistent pain or if you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, warmth, or discharge from the area, then it would be advisable to consult with the treating physician for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned because I was told my ECG showed NSR incomplete, and I'm experiencing some weird symptoms like heaviness in my head, weakness, lower back ache, mild chest pain on the left side, and even some gastritis. Could this all be related? Should I be worried about how these symptoms are connected?
Based on your symptoms, it is important to address each issue individually. For the incomplete NSR on ECG, it may indicate a potential heart rhythm abnormality. To help regulate your heart rhythm, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. For the heaviness in head and weakness, it could be related to your blood pressure. You can take Amlodipine (5-10mg) once daily to help lower your blood pressure and improve blood flow. For lower back ache, you can take Ibuprofen (400-600mg) every 6-8 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation reduction. For the mild pain in the left chest, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. You can take Aspirin (81mg) daily to help prevent any potential clot formation. For gastritis, you can take Omeprazole (20mg) once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid and alleviate symptoms.

I'm dealing with a high blood pressure reading of 13693 and I typically only manage to get about 5 to 6 hours of sleep each night. Could this lack of sleep be affecting my blood pressure levels? Although Ive had some mild anxiety in the past, Im feeling alright now, yet my blood pressure remains high. Is this normal or should I consider starting medication, or would making changes to my lifestyle be sufficient to manage it? What would you recommend?
Lack of sleep can indeed impact your blood pressure. In addition to lifestyle changes, you may benefit from medication to help manage your high blood pressure. I recommend you start taking Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) 50mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make sure to get enough sleep each night. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing activities can also help in managing your anxiety and blood pressure.
