Question 1

My dad is 65 and just had a pacemaker put in because his heart rate dropped dangerously low. The doctors found two major blockages 95% and 99% and are recommending bypass surgery, but his creatinine level is high at 2.58. They say his kidneys might not handle the surgery well. What are our options here? Also, could you suggest a diet that helps both his heart and kidneys?

Accepted Answer

cardiology opinion is advised.

Question 2

I'm trying to find a 7.5 mg tablet of Warf for my brother but no pharmacy seems to have it. Is it okay if he takes a 5 mg and a 2 mg tablet together instead? I'm not sure what to do, and it's a bit worrying. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

nothing will happen to take.

Question 3

I'm a bit concerned about my dad, who's 72. His blood pressure is 100 over 60, and while he seems healthy and manages to walk around 3 to 4 kilometers each day, I'm wondering if there's anything I should be worried about or keep an eye on. Could you let me know if this needs any special attention?

Accepted Answer

Since your father is otherwise healthy and active, there may not be an immediate cause for concern. However, it is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly. To help raise his blood pressure, increasing his salt and fluid intake can be beneficial. Encouraging him to drink more water and consume salty foods in moderation can help elevate his blood pressure. In some cases, compression stockings can also be helpful. If his low blood pressure persists or if he experiences symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been having a hard time breathing when I'm lying down on either side. Could this be related to my lungs or heart? I'm feeling a bit worried. Can you give me some insight into what might be going on?

it might be due to either lung or heart cause, do chest xray it can rule out lung cause
