I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure levels. Do you think it's at a point where I should see a doctor, or are there steps I can take on my own to bring it down? I've also been having some issues with drinking. Would that be affecting my BP too?

View allI've been experiencing this really painful, pinching sharp heartache that makes it hard to breathe. It's mostly in the upper part of my left chest and lasts around 2 minutes. It's happened a couple of times even when I was on an empty stomach or just had some warm lemon water. I've had it at night before dinner too. I got some blood tests done, and they said my lymphocytes were high, but sugar was normal. I often feel short of breath while sitting too, and climbing stairs always makes me breathless. This month, its happened like three times. Do you have any ideas about what this could be?
Could be due to a condition called angina. Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused when your heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. It may feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest. Given your symptoms and the fact that it has occurred multiple times, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. However, based on the information provided, you may benefit from taking medications such as Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets for immediate relief during episodes of chest pain. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually or chewed at the first sign of chest pain. Additionally, you may also be prescribed medications like Aspirin to prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. The usual dosage is 75-325 mg once daily. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

My dad recently had a heart attack and got a 40mm stent placed in his LAD. Is there still a chance he might need bypass surgery for that area later on?
Yes, it's possible your dad might need bypass surgery in the future, even after having a stent placed in his LAD. While stents are effective for opening blocked arteries, they don't address the underlying cause of the blockage, and there's a chance of restenosis (re-narrowing of the artery) or new blockages forming later

I'm wondering if there's any added benefit to taking triolmesar 40 twice a day instead of just once. I've heard that taking it twice might not actually offer more benefit since a single dose is supposed to be effective. Can you shed some light on this for me?
Taking triolmesar 40 twice a day can provide more stable blood levels of the medication compared to a single daily dose. This can be especially beneficial for conditions that require consistent control of blood pressure. However, the decision to switch to a twice daily dosing regimen should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider to ensure it is appropriate for your specific medical condition.
