I'm really worried about my dad. He had a severe heart attack on September 2nd, and they put a stent in his coronary artery. Since then, he's been having these fever episodes hitting around 100F. Is that normal after this kind of procedure, or should we be concerned? Also, his blood pressure is around 10060. Is that okay?

Fever after a heart attack and stent placement can sometimes be a sign of infection. Given the recent procedure and his symptoms, it is important to monitor his condition closely. I would recommend consulting with his healthcare provider to rule out any potential infections. In the meantime, you can give him Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours to help reduce the fever. Keep a close eye on his temperature and if it persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly.

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He doesn't have any symptoms of a heart attack, but his cholesterol and triglyceride levels are pretty high. His total cholesterol is at 251 mgdl, triglycerides at 625 mgdl, HDL is 46 mgdl and LDL is 110 mgdl. Do you think lifestyle changes could help bring these numbers down, or should we be considering surgery like some people have suggested? I'm really unsure about what direction we should take.
With those cholesterol and triglyceride levels, lifestyle modifications are definitely the first step in managing the situation. Your dad should focus on a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management. Additionally, medications like Atorvastatin 20mg can be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels. Surgery is usually considered only when lifestyle changes and medications are not effective in controlling cholesterol levels or if there are other significant risk factors present. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring of his condition

I've been dealing with high blood pressure for the past five months, and it's really starting to worry me. I get dizzy, have blurred vision, headaches, and neck pain too. The weird thing is, sometimes my blood pressure shoots up after I eat. I'm a 26-year-old female, weighing 90 kg with a height of 5'9". My thyroid tests are normal, but I've been on losakindh 25 mg for about three months, and it doesn't seem to be helping anymore. Do you have any advice on what might be going on or what I could try next?
It seems like your blood pressure is not well controlled with Losakind-H 25 mg anymore. I recommend adding a calcium channel blocker like Amlodipine 5 mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, you can consider adding a diuretic like Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg once daily to further control your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
