Im 17 and dont have high blood pressure issues, and no one in my family does either. I just checked my bp, and first, it showed 13095, which freaked me out a bit, so I retook it, and it went to 13598. Then, I took it yet again, and it showed 13998. Is a bp of 13898 normal? I get really anxious every time I check it, and my breathing changes and I get a bit tense. Can you help?

It is understandable that you are feeling anxious about your blood pressure readings. A blood pressure of 13898 is slightly elevated and may indicate prehypertension. However, given your young age and the possibility of anxiety affecting your readings, it is important to take multiple readings at different times to get a more accurate assessment. To help manage your anxiety during blood pressure checks, you can try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation. It may also be helpful to monitor your blood pressure regularly and keep a record to share with your healthcare provider. If you continue to experience anxiety or have concerns about your blood pressure, you may consider speaking with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.

My dad doesn't have any symptoms of a heart attack but his total cholesterol is 251 mg/dL, triglycerides are 625 mg/dL, HDL is 46 mg/dL, and LDL is 110 mg/dL. Can lifestyle changes alone help improve these levels or is surgery necessary like some people are suggesting?

Just had CABG surgery a while ago and have been taking Beplex forte for the past month. My recent Vitamin B12 levels came back at 2000 pg/ml is that too high? Should I be concerned about this?
A vitamin B12 level of 2000 pg/mL is generally considered elevated, but may not be a cause for immediate concern, especially if you're taking Beplex forte. While there are no specific upper limits for B12 levels, and some studies suggest normal levels can range from 200 to 900 pg/mL, high levels may be associated with certain medical conditions like liver disease or leukemia. However, it's crucial to discuss this with your doctor, who can assess the reason for the elevation and determine if any further action is needed.
