View allI'm really concerned because I just found out I have a non-specific T wave abnormality and my blood pressure is pretty high. Is this something I should be worried about? Can I continue with my current treatment, or do I need to consider changing it?
Non specific T wave abnormality with high blood pressure can be concerning, as it may indicate underlying heart issues. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm starting to feel my pulse all over my body and it's been like this for about two weeks. I notice it in different places like my feet when I'm lying down and sometimes in my thighs, arms, and even my wrists and fingers. I can actually count the pulse without touching it, like it's happening one spot at a time. Is this something I should be worried about or could it be something serious?
This sensation of feeling a pulse in different parts of your body is known as palpitations. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, dehydration, or hormonal changes. However, if this symptom persists and is accompanied by other symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to reduce your caffeine intake, stay hydrated, and practice stress-reducing techniques. If the palpitations continue, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Propranolol to help regulate your heart rate.

After angioplasty, it is important for your father to follow a heart-healthy diet to promote recovery and reduce the risk of further heart issues.
