I've talked to a cardiologist and two neurologists about this. One suggested a color Doppler test without fully hearing me out, and the other said not to worry. It's just confusing because, like with a pulse oximeter reading from the finger, I wonder if this is normal.

Im 28 and had a heart attack last year it was scary. I had an angioplasty with one stent and I'm on medications like clopitab, ecosprin, and prolomettonact now. My doctor recently said I'm recovering well and to just make some lifestyle changes, which I've been doing for a year I take 30-minute walks daily and have quit chewing tobacco. Heres what's been on my mind: Should I get married? Should I be worried about that? I was too embarrassed to ask my doctor about it, but it's been weighing on me a lot. I mean, can I lead a normal married life without putting myself at risk? Id really appreciate your advice.

I've been on high blood pressure medication for the past year, taking Telma 20, and I added Prazopress XL 5 about two months ago. My blood pressure is finally under control now, so I'm wondering, is it possible for me to stop taking Prazopress? Or should I definitely talk to a doctor about this change?
