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.

I've been feeling a bit uneasy since lunch yesterday and decided to see a doctor around 5:30 because I was anxious. He suggested an ECG, and my report mentioned a moderate T wave abnormality and an anterior ischemia with 0.1 mV T wave in V3V4, calling it an abnormal ECG. Do you think I should see a cardiologist about this? Is there something serious I need to be concerned about?
the probable diagnosis is asthma,chronic ronchitis, bronchopneumonia etc, pulmonologist opinion is advised.

I've been having a headache on the right side of the back of my head lately and when I checked my blood pressure it was between 140-160 for systolic and 90-110 for diastolic over the past week. My pulse is around 80-85 and oxygen is at 99. I dont have any other medical issues but I recently moved to a new country and this started after I got here. Could this change in food and location be affecting my blood pressure? Before moving, I was drinking and eating out about three times a week for a couple of months. Could that have caused my blood pressure to spike? Im planning on seeing a cardiologist next week but would appreciate any advice you might have.
Based on the information provided, the spike in your blood pressure could be related to various factors such as stress, dietary changes, and lifestyle habits. It is possible that the change in food and location, as well as the previous indulgence in drinking and dining out frequently, may have contributed to the increase in your blood pressure. To help manage your blood pressure, it is important to make some lifestyle modifications. You can start by reducing your salt intake, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress through relaxation techniques. Additionally, if your cardiologist deems it necessary, they may prescribe medication to help lower your blood pressure. It's good that you have an upcoming appointment with a cardiologist, as they will be able to provide you with a more personalized treatment plan after a thorough evaluation.
