I'm really concerned about my dad's health after he got a stent put in during his angioplasty this April. He's planning to stay with me for 23 days, but we live in a house with two floors. I'm worried about whether it's safe for him to be climbing stairs. Could you advise on whether that's okay for him?

I'm feeling alright, haven't noticed any issues but just out of curiosity, I wanted to check my heart rate with an oximeter. It's consistently showing between 110 and 115. Is this something to be concerned about? What's causing my heart rate to be like this?

Regarding your heart rate, a resting heart rate of 110-115 beats per minute is considered higher than normal, as typical resting heart rates usually fall between 60-100 beats per minute. There are many non-serious reasons for an elevated heart rate, including recent physical activity, stress, anxiety, caffeine consumption, dehydration, or certain medications. However, since this seems to be a persistent reading and you're concerned enough to ask about it, I recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation. They can perform a physical examination, review your medical history, and determine if any underlying conditions need to be addressed. While using an oximeter at home can be helpful, it's best to have a medical professional interpret these readings in the context of your overall health.

I'm currently dealing with a blood pressure reading of 10871, which seems pretty normal. I usually take Telpres CT 4012.5 for my high blood pressure and Etizola Beta to manage my anxiety issues. With my blood pressure being in the normal range right now, I'm wondering if I should keep taking my blood pressure meds or if it's safe to stop them?

Your blood pressure is currently within the normal range. It is important to continue taking your blood pressure medication as prescribed by your doctor, even if your blood pressure is normal at the moment. Stopping medication abruptly can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure. However, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication based on your current blood pressure readings. For now, continue taking Telpres CT 4012.5 for your blood pressure.
