View allI'm a bit worried about my blood pressure being 14090. Is that considered high? I've just turned 30, weigh 72 kg, and Im already taking rozavel 10 for dyslipidemia. Should I get on some medication for this, or could lifestyle changes do the trick? I do exercise daily for 20 minutes and eat less outside food and salt. What do you think?
take 3 readings after food for 3 days if it is still persisitant consult your doctor

I've been having a fast heart rate between 100 and 120 over the last few days. I'm using a brown inhaler for my asthma and an over-the-counter decongestant because of nasal polyps. Could these meds be causing it? If I stop taking them, how long might it take for my heart rate to go back to normal?
Both your asthma inhaler medication and the over-the-counter decongestant can contribute to an increased heart rate. The bronchodilator medication in your inhaler can cause a temporary increase in heart rate as a side effect. Similarly, decongestants can also stimulate the heart and lead to a faster heart rate. If you stop taking these medications, your heart rate should return to normal within a few hours to a few days, depending on how long you have been taking them and your body's response. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm really concerned about heart attacks and wanted to get some clarity on it. Could you explain how a heart attack actually happens and what steps one can take to recover from it or prevent it from happening in the first place? I'm just trying to understand more for peace of mind.
Herat attack is something where blood supply to heart muscles is compromised due to fat that blocks the blood supply,which makes heart to give up and leads to heart attack,to prevent this healthy life style with balanced diet and regular check ups would help
