I've been having an abnormal heart rate for the past month, consistently between 90 and 110. I was on high blood pressure medication but stopped taking it two months ago based on my doctor's advice. They told me to keep an eye on my blood pressure, but I'm worried about whether my heart rate is something to be concerned about. Should I be seeing any changes, or is this normal after stopping the medication?

It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure. Since you are experiencing an abnormal heart rate, it is crucial to manage your blood pressure effectively. You can monitor your blood pressure at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. If your blood pressure remains consistently high, your doctor may recommend restarting your high blood pressure medication. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

I'm really worried about my husband. He had a heart attack on February 6, 2017, and only one artery was opened during the angioplasty. He was on a ventilator and an IBP machine for four days. Then he had a CABG on March 9, 2017. Since then, he's been having this stiff feeling at the back of his head and constant pain there. What could be causing this, and should we be concerned?

Why are my blood pressure readings different between my arms? When I check my left arm, it's 12080, but my right arm shows 13080. I'm using an Omron monitor, which I believe is pretty accurate. Should I be worried about these differences?

Having slightly different blood pressure readings between arms is not uncommon and is usually not a cause for concern. However, if there is a consistent and significant difference in blood pressure readings between arms, it may indicate underlying health issues such as peripheral artery disease or other cardiovascular problems. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and monitoring. In the meantime, you can continue to monitor your blood pressure regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
