View allI'm 25 and dealing with prehypertension. My blood pressure is at 14090. I've had tests done and everything seems normal, like my lipid profile, liver function, and kidney function test. I've been eating mostly green veggies and getting some exercise every morning, but I still can't seem to get my blood pressure under control. Do you think I should consider medication?
Since your blood pressure is not controlled despite lifestyle changes, medication may be necessary to help manage your pre-hypertension. I recommend starting with a low-dose of a medication like Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) 25mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider to adjust the dosage if needed.

I'm worried because my wife has been taking Concor AM 5 and she's started experiencing some sweating and headaches. Could this be caused by the medication, or might something else be going on?
Your wife may be experiencing sweating and headache as side effects of Concor AM 5. These side effects are relatively common with this medication. I recommend consulting with her doctor to discuss these symptoms. In the meantime, she can try to stay hydrated and rest.

My dad is 65 and just had a pacemaker put in because his heart rate dropped dangerously low. The doctors found two major blockages 95% and 99% and are recommending bypass surgery, but his creatinine level is high at 2.58. They say his kidneys might not handle the surgery well. What are our options here? Also, could you suggest a diet that helps both his heart and kidneys?
cardiology opinion is advised.
