My dad, who's 69, got really bad chest pains about five days ago and the ECG showed he had a heart attack. They did an angiography too and found there's blockage in three arteriesone's at 90 percent, another at 70, and the last one at 50 percent. The doctor said he needs surgery. I'm really worried and wanted to get your opinion on this. Is surgery the only option, and what kind of risks are we looking at? Are there any alternatives or additional things we should consider?

Is a blood pressure reading of 13565 with a heart rate of 76 normal for someone who has stents in both left and right arteries since April 2021 and also has diabetes along with other health issues? I'm a little concerned about whether these numbers are okay given the circumstances.
The blood pressure reading of 13565 is within the normal range. For individuals with a history of heart issues, such as having stents placed in the arteries, it is important to closely monitor blood pressure. In this case, the blood pressure reading is considered normal. However, it is always advisable to continue monitoring blood pressure regularly and follow up with her healthcare provider for further guidance.

I've been struggling with high blood pressure for the past five or six years. I've tried Ayurvedic medicines, but they dont seem to be giving me much relief. I'm worried and wondering if I should consider other treatment options. Any advice on what I might do to manage this better?
For the high blood pressure that you have been experiencing for the last five-six years, it is important to consider switching to allopathic medications for better control. I recommend starting with a medication called Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) at a starting dose of 5mg once daily. This medication is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and can help lower your blood pressure effectively. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and monitoring of your condition.
