I'm taking Metosartan 25mg once a day, and my blood pressure readings were around 11070 a few days ago. But now, when I checked, it was 14095. What could be causing this change?

I'm really concerned because my dad had an angioplasty a few days ago, and they put in a stent. Since then, he's been having a really bad dry cough at night. The doctor gave us some medicine, but it doesnt seem to be making any difference. I'm worried this might affect his stent or his heart. Could this cough be connected to the procedure or the medication? What should we do next?
There are many possible explanations What drugs is the patient currently on. An ACE inhibitor can cause dry cough Also what about his heart function sometimes CHF can also cause cough consult cardiologist

I'm lying down and my heart rate is around 54, but when I stand up it's 86. Is it normal for the heart rate to be under 60? My echo and TMT tests came back normal, but when I get up from bed, I feel dizzy. Should I be worried or is this something that happens often?
A heart rate of 54 beats per minute when lying down can be normal, especially if you are physically fit or athletic, as lower heart rates are common in these individuals. However, the dizziness you experience when standing up could indicate a condition known as orthostatic hypotension, where your blood pressure drops upon standing, leading to dizziness. It is good that your echocardiogram (echo) and treadmill test (TMT) are normal, but I recommend discussing these symptoms with your healthcare provider. They may suggest additional tests, such as measuring your blood pressure and heart rate changes with position changes, to diagnose and manage the underlying cause of your dizziness.
