I'm really worried because he's been taking Stamlo 5 once a day, but lately, his blood pressure still seems really high, around 109 low and 180 high. Should we be concerned about these numbers? Is there something else we should be doing to help manage it?

I would recommend increasing the dosage of Stamlo to Stamlo 10 (Amlodipine 10mg) once a day to better control his blood pressure levels. It is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly and consult with his healthcare provider for further guidance.

My mom had an angioplasty about 36 hours ago with two stents placed because her artery was fully blocked. Now she's in the ICU and her heart rate is pretty high, like around 152 bpm, and it's averaging about 125 bpm. Plus, she's had low blood pressure a few times. Is this something we should be worried about? Could these be signs of any complications? Would really appreciate your advice.
The low blood pressure could be a result of reduced heart function or other factors. To address the high heart rate, a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol can be prescribed to help lower the heart rate. It is important to consult a cardiologist to assess her cardiac function in detail.
