Question 1

My mom's blood pressure is reading 10090, and the doctor told her to take Losar 50. Should she take it in the morning or at night? A couple of months ago, she was on Amlodipine 5, but she'd stop when her blood pressure looked normal. Is that okay, or should she stick with the medication even if she feels better?

Question 2

I've done a bunch of tests like the 2D echo, ECG, and TMT stress test, and everything came back normal. My cholesterol is at 158, BP is 12080, and both calcium and alkaline phosphatase are within limits. All the CBC, blood count, sugar, and urine tests went well, and the doctor said nothing's wrong with me. But I still feel chest pain and back pain, right opposite my heart and pain around my ribs. After dinner, I feel pretty uneasy, and my work hours are 5 pm to 3 am. When I try to sleep at night, I end up feeling stressed and uneasy. The 2D echo test showed my heart's compatibility is 64, and blood circulation is normal. I quit smoking about 8 months ago but still have tobacco twice a day, and I'm trying to quit. I'm also getting into exercise regularly. I'm wondering if this is all in my head because a colleague of ours passed away recently. Is there any chance I'm at risk for a heart attack here, and what precautions should I be taking?

Accepted Answer

-It sounds like your tests have ruled out major heart issues, and the chest and back pain could be related to stress or the tobacco use you're trying to quit. It's great that you're exercising regularlythis can help reduce stress and improve overall he
