I'm really worried about my grandfather who's 76. He was hospitalized twice because his blood pressure went up to 200100. We have the ECG from when he was in the hospital and his prescription too. Since getting discharged, his blood pressure is fine during the day, but at night it gradually rises to somewhere between 16080 and 18090. Does the ECG indicate he's had a heart attack? Are the medications he's on appropriate?

If the ECG shows sinus rhythm with no signs of acute myocardial infarction. The medications prescribed are Amlodipine 5mg once daily and Atenolol 25mg once daily. These are appropriate medications for controlling high blood pressure. However, since your grandfather's blood pressure is still increasing during the night, a medication adjustment may be needed. I recommend consulting with the doctor who prescribed these medications to discuss the possibility of increasing the dosage or adding another medication to better control his blood pressure during the night.

View allI've been using our digital BP machine at home, and every time I check my husband's blood pressure, it's usually in the range of 140150 over 90100. I'm a bit concerned because he's only 30 years old. I typically measure it first thing in the morning when he wakes up. Is this a normal range for someone his age? What should we do?
check it 3 time a day after food and if the bp still persists more than 140 consult your doctor

I'm really worried because my dad's having some mild chest pain. The doctor suggested an X-ray and then mentioned a CT-guided FNAC, but we're stuck since there aren't any clinics nearby that offer this procedure. On top of that, we're not in a strong financial position. Can you guide me on what we should do next? I'm feeling pretty lost right now.
go to any near by government district hospital, there all this facilities will be available
