My dad was in the hospital, had an angiography, and they put a stent in his heart. Ever since, his heart rate's been all over the place, and he's been vomiting blood after eating or drinking. What's going on? Is this normal after a procedure like this, or should we be really concerned?

I'm 25 and went for a full heart check-up. My ECG and echo were both normal, but my first TMT test came back positive even though I didn't feel any pain or issues while exercising. I decided to take the TMT test again just to be sure, and this time it came back normal or negative. Why would the first TMT show positive? Do I need to look into this more or get further tests done?

The initial positive TMT result may be attributed to factors like dehydration, anxiety, or a false positive, especially since you didn't experience any symptoms during exercise and the repeat test came back normal; however, to confirm the absence of any underlying cardiac issues, consider discussing further evaluation with your cardiologist, such as a stress echocardiogram or a cardiac MRI, to rule out any potential concerns.

I'm a bit confused about my blood pressure medication. My doctor measured my blood pressure at 149 over 90, using a digital BP machine, and prescribed me TelmaH. But that day, I'd walked to the clinic without resting, so maybe that's why my reading was so high. I've been on the meds for 15 days, but in the last 2 days, my blood pressure has been normal even without taking the medication. Is it safe for me to stop taking it, or should I continue the course just to be sure? What should I do?

It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication. In this case, since your blood pressure has been normal without taking the medication for the past 2 days, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or frequency of Telma-H. It is also possible that your high reading at the clinic was influenced by walking without resting. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I can see my pulse visibly pulsating right below my thumb. It doesn't hurt or anything, but it sure looks odd. I don't remember seeing it there before, or maybe I just never noticed it. Should I be worried or is this normal?
