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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Its important to work closely with your doctor to adjust your treatment plan, as fluctuating high blood pressure can be a serious concern over time. 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 thinking about trying EECP therapy for my dad. He had a heart attack two years ago and he's got a stent in one artery, while the other two are clogged with 90% and 80% blockages. I've heard a lot of positive things about this natural bypass therapy, and some hospitals do offer it. But I'm just not sure about the results. Is it really effective? Or would angioplasty be the better option here?
EECP therapy can be a beneficial option for your father's condition. It is a non-invasive treatment that can help improve blood flow to the heart muscle by promoting the development of collateral circulation. However, in the case of significant blockages like 90% and 80% in his arteries, angioplasty may be a more suitable option to directly address the blockages. For the blockages your father has, angioplasty with stent placement may be recommended to open up the blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart. This procedure can help reduce symptoms and lower the risk of future heart-related complications. I recommend discussing these treatment options with your father's cardiologist to determine the most appropriate course of action based on his individual condition and medical history.

I'm really concerned because my friend just had angiography and then angioplasty three days later. Now, due to complications, another angiography and possibly angioplasty are needed just three weeks after the first. Are there any risks with having these procedures so frequently?
Frequent angiography and angioplasty procedures can carry certain risks, such as increased chances of bleeding, infection, damage to blood vessels, and allergic reactions to contrast dye. Additionally, there is a risk of developing blood clots at the site of the procedure. To help reduce these risks, your friend's healthcare provider may prescribe medications such as Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots, as well as medications like Atorvastatin to manage cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further complications. It is important for your friend to follow the prescribed medication regimen and attend all follow-up appointments to monitor for any potential complications.
