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.

Can a young person really die from hypertension? I'm super anxious because whenever I get anxious, my heart starts racing and I worry it might lead to a sudden cardiac arrest. Is that something I should be concerned about?
Hypertension can lead to serious health complications if left untreated, including an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. While it is rare for a young person to die directly from hypertension, it is important to manage and control high blood pressure to prevent long-term complications. Anxiety itself does not directly cause hypertension, but it can contribute to temporary spikes in blood pressure. It is important to address and manage anxiety to prevent these spikes and reduce the risk of complications. In your case, managing anxiety may help reduce your heart palpitations and lower the risk of sudden cardiac arrest. To help manage your anxiety and reduce the risk of complications, you can consider speaking with a healthcare provider about potential treatment options. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help improve your overall well-being.
