I'm a 67-year-old who's been taking Revelol XL 50, but my blood pressure numbers always seem to hang around 15090. I've decided to switch to Concor 5 in hopes of getting them down to 12080. Is this a good move, and could you explain what I might expect during this transition?

I'm really stressed out because, for the past six months, I've been dealing with these panic attacks that make me super anxious. I'm a 28-year-old guy and generally healthy. A few days back, I saw a doctor who recommended I get an echocardiogram and some blood tests like CBC, creatinine, and RBS. When I went in for the Echo, I was really scared, and my heart was racing due to my phobia. The results came back mostly normal, except they mentioned something about TR mild with mild PAH. Should I be worried about this leading to complications? And what can I do to treat it?

I just found out there are blockages in both arteries on the left and right sides of my heart. The doctor said they're about 6 to 8 months old. Should I be worried about how old these blockages are and what kind of treatment is usually recommended for this? I'm feeling a bit anxious about what this means for my health going forward.

As there are 2 vessels blocked you can be on conservative management and closely monitored if needed stenting might be done,follow your doctors advice
