I've been taking cilametxl 50mg, moxvas 0.3mg, and minipress XL 5mg every morning and night, but I've noticed that my blood pressure drops temporarily and then spikes to around 17598 or 18595 by 4 p.m. and is high again early in the morning around 6 a.m. Why does this happen, and what can I do to manage these fluctuations better?

Regular check-ups, monitoring, and lifestyle changes will also help manage your blood pressure more effectively. Make sure to follow your doctors advice closely to achieve better blood pressure control.

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He had an angioplasty 5 days ago and now he's got a fever, like 101F. His face and neck feel warm, but not his arms and legs. Plus, he's got a cough with white phlegm. I've been giving him paracetamol and he's taking lizolid and ceftum twice a day, like the doctor said. Is this something normal after such a procedure, or should I be concerned?
It is not uncommon to have a fever after a surgical procedure like angioplasty, but it is important to monitor it closely. The symptoms of fever and cough with white phlegm could indicate an infection. The medications you have mentioned are appropriate for such symptoms. Continue giving him paracetamol for fever. Additionally, ensure he completes the full course of antibiotics - lizolid and ceftum - as prescribed. Monitor his temperature regularly and if the fever persists or if he develops any new symptoms, please consult with his healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My dad is 61 and had CABG surgery two weeks ago with 4 grafts. He's also diabetic. How long will his recovery take to get back to normal and can we expect any future heart issues after the bypass
It typically takes 6-12 weeks to recover fully from coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, but individual recovery times can vary. After the initial recovery period, most individuals can resume normal activities, but the possibility of future heart issues, like graft blockage or progression of other heart conditions, remains

Hey, I've been tracking my heart rate with my Apple Watch, and I'm feeling a bit concerned. I've noticed that my monthly average heart rate is usually between 42 to 126 bpm, and my resting heart rate varies from 51 to 61 BPM. When I'm walking, it averages around 65 to 107 BPM. Typically, I exercise in the evenings, and my heart rate can go above 117, with an average of 80 to 85. But here's the thingthat's got me worriedthis morning while I was just sitting and reading at the office, my watch showed a heart rate of 43 BPM. Should I be concerned about this low reading?
Having a resting heart rate between 51-61 BPM, especially if you are physically fit, can be normal. A heart rate of 43 BPM while sitting and reading might be lower than usual but not necessarily alarming if you are asymptomatic and otherwise healthy. Your exercise heart rates and walking averages seem within normal ranges. However, since your heart rate can dip quite low, it would be a good idea to discuss these readings with your healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues like bradycardia or other cardiac conditions. They might suggest monitoring your heart rate more closely or performing additional tests if necessary.
