I'm really worried because my blood pressure is reading 140100. I know that's considered high, and I'm wondering what medicine I should be taking for it. Is this something I need to be urgently concerned about? Should I see a doctor right away?

According to me you have to measure your bp once daily and make a report after that we can make a conclusion and if it is prehypertension range we can try some lifestyle changles avoid salt tea coffee stress etc

I'm 27 and just found out I have high cholesterol. My LDL was 190, HDL was 40, total cholesterol hit 280, and triglycerides were at 90. My B12 levels were at 80. The doctor had me on Crestor 20 mg for a few months, which got my LDL back to normal, but it messed with my SGPT and SGOT levels. Then I switched to Prelipid and my cholesterol levels stabilized, but I've been having muscle pain and anxiety with it. Also, my family's got a history of high cholesterol. I've been playing lawn tennis regularly for the past few years and I really dont love the idea of staying on medication forever. Once I stop taking them, my cholesterol spikes again. Is there any way I can manage my cholesterol without being on meds for life? Would really appreciate some advice on if these medications are a must or if there's something else I can try!
u have to continue with tab crestor 20 mg at bedtime continuosly ,and recheck the lipid panel once in 3 months, better to continue with the medications.Regular aerobic exercises, protein diet is advised.Alcholol and smoking cessation is needed.Also use of butter and ghee is not advised

my brother is 21 and has a 3.5 mm vsd with medium rcc prolapse - does he need surgery for this and if so what type would it be? would it be minimally invasive and where would the scar be
A 3.5 mm VSD with medium RCC prolapse in a 21-year-old may require surgery, depending on the severity of symptoms and the potential for future complications. If surgery is needed, it could be either open-heart surgery or a minimally invasive procedure. The scar location and size would vary depending on the surgical approach.
