A blood pressure reading of 15090 is considered high. It is important to monitor blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to lower it. You can consider taking medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help manage high blood pressure. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my dad. About a month ago, he had 2 stents put in, and since then, it's been tough for him. He can't eat much, has a dry cough, and feels weak all the time. Plus, whenever he takes pantoprazole before breakfast, he gets a headache. What could be going on? Is there anything we should be doing differently?
It sounds like your father may be experiencing side effects from the medication he is taking. The dry cough and weakness could be related to the stents or the medications he is on. The headache after taking pantoprazole could be a side effect of the medication. I would recommend discussing these symptoms with his doctor. In the meantime, he can try taking pantoprazole after breakfast to see if that helps with the headache. Additionally, he can try taking medications like Clopidogrel (Plavix) and Aspirin to prevent blood clots after stent placement.

My dad has artery blockages and we're really confused between angioplasty and bypass surgery - which one would be better for his condition? The doctors gave us both options but we're not sure what to go with
Choice depends on blockage location and risk factors; angioplasty is less invasive, but bypass is better for multiple or complex blocks.
