I'm 27 and dealing with a sugar problem, for which I'm taking Glimepiride and Metformin 11000sr tablets, two daily. Lately, I've noticed my blood pressure is 14090, and my pulse is around 92. I've also been experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest, so I decided to check my ECG. The results showed a sinus rhythm with a normal P axis and a ventricular rate between 50 and 99. There was also some ST elevation, which I've read could be a normal early repolarization pattern, but I'm still worried. The diagnostics mentioned "age 55" even though I'm only 27. Could this be a mistake, or is it something I need to be concerned about? I would appreciate any insight or advice you could give me.

I am sorry to hear about your health concerns. It seems like you are experiencing some cardiac symptoms along with your existing medical conditions. Based on the information you provided, you are currently taking Glimipride and Metformin for your sugar problem. Since you have mentioned that you are experiencing chest pain and have abnormal ECG findings, it is important to address your elevated blood pressure as well. I would recommend that you consult with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and management. In the meantime, to help manage your blood pressure, you can consider taking Amlodipine 5mg once daily. This medication can help lower your blood pressure and reduce the strain on your heart. Additionally, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, and engaging in regular physical activity. Please continue to monitor your symptoms closely and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance and management.

View allAll three arteries are blocked at 90, 80, and 80. We're trying to avoid bypass surgery would stenting work in this case? If successful, how long can we expect the stents to last before needing another procedure?
For triple-vessel disease with high blockage, bypass is more durable than stents. Stents may offer short-term relief but restenosis is a risk. A cardiac surgeon should evaluate case specifics.

My father had angioplasty last December but still has a mild blockage. The doctor said they'll deal with it later and he's on meds now but has constant coughing. Will the meds clear the blockage or will he need another surgery? If surgery is needed how soon should it be done? He's reluctant to go back to the hospital and I'm worried about his condition
