View allWhy are young people who are fit suddenly having heart attacks? It's really worrying because even those who keep up with their fitness are facing these heart problems at such a young age. Can you explain why this is happening and suggest some preventive measures we can take against this serious issue?
There are several factors that can contribute to this, including genetics, lifestyle choices, and underlying health conditions. Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking, managing stress, and getting regular check-ups with your healthcare provider. In terms of medication, aspirin can be used as a preventive measure for heart attacks. Low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) taken daily can help reduce the risk of heart attacks in high-risk individuals. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication regimen.

I've been having mild chest pain continuously for about 23 hours, and it's the first time I've felt anything like this. I went to the hospital and got an ECG done, which came back as a Borderline ECG, and I've attached the report. The Troponin I test result was 0.01 ngml. My heartbeat seems to be averaging around 95-110 bpm. Should I be worried about this?
It is important to address the possibility of a cardiac issue. I recommend starting treatment with Aspirin to help prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, you should take Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further heart complications. It is also advisable to take Metoprolol to help regulate your heart rate and blood pressure. These medications will help manage your condition and reduce the risk of any potential heart problems. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring. Take care."

My mom's blood pressure spiked to 170100, and the doctor suggested she take Telma 40 mg once daily. It's already been five days, but her BP hasn't budged. Should I think about checking back in with the doctor for a medication switch, or is it normal for the meds to take a bit longer to work?
That seems single drug is not working soo visit physician for starting two drugs course
