I was lying down after dinner tonight and started to notice this pulsating feeling in my left upper stomach area, just below the rib cage. I'm taking blood pressure meds, so I'm a bit worried. Is this something I should be concerned about? What might be causing it?

View allI'm really worried about my mom's situation. She's dealing with restrictive cardiomyopathy, tricuspid regurgitation, and pulmonary hypertension. The doctor suggested she takes sildenafil 20 and Isolazine 20 three times daily, but I've read that mixing these meds can sometimes lead to serious issues. Could this combo be risky for her? She's also on seloken XL 25, Tide 10, and Dabigatran 110. Any advice would really help.

I've been told that my cholesterol is really high at 396 and my triglycerides are at 910. I'm only 37 and I'm pretty worried about what this means for my health. What steps should I take to get these numbers down?
You have high cholesterol and high triglycerides at a young age of 37. To help lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may prescribe medications to help lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. For high cholesterol, medications such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily may be prescribed. For high triglycerides, medications such as Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a starting dose of 145 mg once daily may be recommended. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations closely and have regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I'm a bit concerned about my dad, who's 72. His blood pressure is 100 over 60, and while he seems healthy and manages to walk around 3 to 4 kilometers each day, I'm wondering if there's anything I should be worried about or keep an eye on. Could you let me know if this needs any special attention?
Since your father is otherwise healthy and active, there may not be an immediate cause for concern. However, it is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly. To help raise his blood pressure, increasing his salt and fluid intake can be beneficial. Encouraging him to drink more water and consume salty foods in moderation can help elevate his blood pressure. In some cases, compression stockings can also be helpful. If his low blood pressure persists or if he experiences symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
