I'm really worried about my high blood pressure since I'm only 27. I've been dealing with anxiety and PCOS, and I've been taking Diane 35 and Fincar for the past month. Lately, I find myself getting short of breath whenever I think about all of this. I don't want to die early and really want to improve my lifestyle. What should I do?

High blood pressure can be concerning, especially at a young age. It's important to manage your blood pressure to reduce the risk of complications. Since you are already taking Diane 35 and Fincar for PCOS, it's essential to monitor your blood pressure regularly. In addition to lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise, you may benefit from medication to help control your blood pressure. I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of starting an antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. Remember to continue monitoring your blood pressure and follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to adjust your treatment plan as needed."

View allI'm really worried after reading something about the COVID vaccine increasing the risk of blood clots and heart attacks, especially for people with high hscrp levels. My husband, who's 32, recently had an hsCRP test, and it came out to 1.7mgL. His cholesterol is also 227 with an LDL of 148. Should he think about starting ecosprin 75mg a week before he gets vaccinated and keep taking it for a few weeks after? I'm just trying to make sure we're doing everything we can to avoid any risks related to the vaccine. What do you suggest?
Elevated hs-CRP levels can indeed be a risk factor for blood clots and heart attacks. However, the decision to start taking ecosprin (aspirin) as a preventive measure should be made after consulting with a healthcare professional. In your husband's case, with an hs-CRP level of 1.7mgL, it is not considered very high. The current guidelines do not recommend routine aspirin therapy for primary prevention in individuals with low to moderate cardiovascular risk. It is important to consider the overall cardiovascular risk profile of your husband, including factors such as age, blood pressure, smoking status, and family history of heart disease. I recommend discussing these results with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate course of action regarding aspirin therapy before and after covid vaccination.

I'm really worried because my father was supposed to take Pinom H 20mg but accidentally took Pinom A 20mg for a week. Could this mix-up cause any issues for him? I'm just trying to figure out if we need to be concerned or take him to see someone about this. Any advice would be helpful.
