My grandfather, who's around 75, has been experiencing some discomfort in the upper left side of his chest just above his heart. He thinks it's probably related to acidity. The pain started just a few hours ago, and he's not on any regular medication. Should we be worried about this being something more serious? What would you recommend we do next?

View allI'm currently on medication for blood pressure and taking Zilokem 40 mg and Nexovas twice a day, but my blood pressure reading is 100150. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?
Review with your treating physician for dosage adjustment and recalibration. Try to include physical exercise of 150 minutes per week at least, in order to improve BP readings.

My mom's blood pressure is reading 10090, and the doctor told her to take Losar 50. Should she take it in the morning or at night? A couple of months ago, she was on Amlodipine 5, but she'd stop when her blood pressure looked normal. Is that okay, or should she stick with the medication even if she feels better?
