View allI'm having some trouble with my blood pressureit keeps staying high around 160111 and 155100 even after I've taken my medication. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and what I can do about it?
High blood pressure can be a serious condition if not properly controlled. I recommend you start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, you can also add Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name Microzide) 12.5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.

I'm kinda confused about my blood pressure readings and I'm wondering if I should be worried. My BP is currently 110 over 90is that normal? Sometimes it's 126 over 96, and other times it's 115 over 85. Today it's 110 over 90. Should I be concerned, or is this within a normal range?
Your BP readings are slightly on the higher side of normal, especially the diastolic (90+). Occasional variations can happen, but consistently elevated readings (above 12080) could indicate prehypertension. Monitor it regularly, reduce stress, eat healthy, and consult a doctor if it stays high.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 70 and went through a pretty tough time with his aorta bursting back in January. The doctors did Bentall Surgery, and it seemed like things were getting better, but then he got a mild case of COVID on February 4th. They've been treating him for that and a bit of fluid in his left lung with antibiotics, and there have been improvements according to his chest X-rays. The problem is, he's been having a low-grade fever in the evenings, around 99-100 degrees, since the surgery. It's been more than a month now with this persistent fever. Do you think this is just a post-op thing or maybe related to COVID? I just really need to understand what's going on. It's pretty concerning for us.
In this case, the persistent low-grade fever in the evening could be due to various factors, including post-operative recovery, underlying infection, or inflammatory response. Since your father recently underwent Bentall Surgery and is also recovering from mild COVID-19 infection, it is essential to monitor his symptoms closely. To address the fever, the doctors may consider prescribing antipyretic medications such as Acetaminophen (Tylenol) at a dose of 650mg to 1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed to help reduce the fever and provide comfort. Additionally, if there are signs of ongoing infection, antibiotics such as Amoxicillin-Clavulanate (Augmentin) at an appropriate dose may be considered based on the specific infection and sensitivity. It is crucial to continue following up with the medical team to assess the underlying cause of the fever, monitor his overall condition, and adjust the treatment plan accordingly. Regular communication with the healthcare providers will help in managing his recovery effectively.
