View allI've been on high BP meds for about seven years. Initially, my BP was around 140100, and my doctor put me on olmetrack 20, but it didn't do much. After 2-3 years, they added nebicard 2.5 to the olmetrack, which helped, but my BP was still around 14095 or 13590 without any diet changes or exercise. Now, for the past month, I've started dieting and taking walks, and my BP has dropped to about 12075 to 11067. I'm wondering if this improvement is because of my lifestyle change. Do I still need both meds, or should I try stopping one to see how it affects my BP?
continue both the medications..

Im 28 and had a heart attack last year it was scary. I had an angioplasty with one stent and I'm on medications like clopitab, ecosprin, and prolomettonact now. My doctor recently said I'm recovering well and to just make some lifestyle changes, which I've been doing for a year I take 30-minute walks daily and have quit chewing tobacco. Heres what's been on my mind: Should I get married? Should I be worried about that? I was too embarrassed to ask my doctor about it, but it's been weighing on me a lot. I mean, can I lead a normal married life without putting myself at risk? Id really appreciate your advice.
Based on your history of heart attack and current medications, it is important to consider certain factors before making a decision about marriage. It is positive that you are following lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and quitting tobacco chewing, which are beneficial for your heart health. In terms of marriage, it is important to have open communication with your partner about your health condition. It would also be advisable to consult with your cardiologist regarding any specific concerns or precautions to take before getting married. Your doctor can provide personalized advice based on your individual health status and help you make an informed decision. Overall, with proper management of your heart condition, adherence to medications, and a healthy lifestyle, it is possible to lead a fulfilling life, including marriage.

I'm feeling really anxious about this tight, squeezing sensation I've been having in my chest. I'm not sure whether it's actually my chest or something with my esophagus. It gets worse when I'm lying in bed and sometimes feels like heartburn. Do you have any tips or ideas about what might be going on? I can't help but worry.
