I'm worried about my dad. He had angioplasty last month, and he's been taking Preva As 150 mg every day. Now he's got a fever. Do you think it's okay to give him paracetamol?

I'm feeling dizzy lately, and I've noticed my blood pressure readings are consistently around 11665. It's been like this for the past 3 to 4 days. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

A blood pressure reading of 11665 mmHg is within the normal range, but experiencing dizziness for 3-4 days warrants further evaluation; consider consulting a doctor to rule out underlying causes of dizziness, such as dehydration, inner ear issues, or medication side effects, and to assess your overall health.

I'm curious if Zayo 100mg is a good alternative to Azmarda 100mg. Is it safe for me to switch to this medication? I'm just concerned about whether it would work for me and if there are any differences I should be aware of. Would you happen to know if it's alright for me to make this switch?

Alternative for Azmarda 100mg is Zayo 100mg. It is suitable to take Zayo 100mg as a replacement for Azmarda 100mg. The recommended dosage for Zayo 100mg should be followed as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I'm 25 and dealing with prehypertension. My blood pressure is at 14090. I've had tests done and everything seems normal, like my lipid profile, liver function, and kidney function test. I've been eating mostly green veggies and getting some exercise every morning, but I still can't seem to get my blood pressure under control. Do you think I should consider medication?

Since your blood pressure is not controlled despite lifestyle changes, medication may be necessary to help manage your pre-hypertension. I recommend starting with a low-dose of a medication like Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) 25mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider to adjust the dosage if needed.
