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.

Blood Pressure: Your reading of 135/65 mmHg is generally acceptable. The systolic pressure is slightly above the ideal target for those with heart disease and diabetes, but not alarmingly high. The diastolic pressure is normal.
Heart Rate: A heart rate of 76 bpm is normal and indicates a regular pulse.
Recommendations: a. Continue regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate. b. Follow your healthcare provider's advice on medications and lifestyle. c. Seek medical attention if you experience symptoms like chest pain or dizziness.

Always discuss your readings with your cardiologist to ensure your treatment plan is optimized.

I've had angioplasty with two stents placed back in December 2017. I'm taking Brilinta 90 mg, Carca, Cardace, and Metformin morning and evening, with Ecosprin in the evening. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have my evening dose of medication after having some alcohol. Is this safe or should I be worried about any interactions?

After consuming liquor, it is generally not recommended to take certain medications due to potential interactions. However, based on the medications you are currently taking, it is safe to take the evening dose of Ecosprin (aspirin) after consuming liquor. It is important to avoid alcohol with Brilinta (Ticagrelor) as it may increase the risk of bleeding. It is also advisable to avoid alcohol with Metformin. As for Carca and Cardace, which are likely beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors respectively, it is generally safe to take them with alcohol in moderation. It is always best to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
