I've been experiencing a lot of stiffness in my chest lately, and sometimes there's this pain that pops up on the left side, right side, or even in the center of my chest. I've had a chest CT, blood tests, and even an abdominal CT and ultrasound, and everything seems to come back normal. It's just really confusing and a bit worrying. What could be causing this if all the tests are normal?

View allI'm really concerned about my mom's blood pressure. It's been over 160 for the last couple of weeks. She's currently taking Telma 40 and Cilacar 10, but it doesn't seem to help. Before she switched meds, she was on Amlogard 5 mg and Metosartan 50, but her doctor stopped those since she has ILD Lungs Disease. What should we do next?
Hi, based on your mother's condition of high blood pressure and ILD, it seems like her current medication regimen may not be effectively controlling her blood pressure. I would recommend consulting with her physician to discuss adjusting her medication. In addition to Telma 40 and Cilacar 10, her doctor may consider adding a medication like Amlodipine 5 mg (brand name: Amlogard) or Metoprolol 50 mg (brand name: Metosartan) to help lower her blood pressure. It's important to closely monitor her blood pressure and make any necessary changes under the guidance of her healthcare provider.

I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 78 over 140 is normal or if its on the high side. Should my dad see a doctor or maybe start some medication? Just to mention, he was feeling a bit under the weather with a common cold when the doctor measured this.
A blood pressure reading of 14078 is considered elevated and may indicate hypertension. It is advisable for your father to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. Depending on the assessment, the doctor may prescribe medications such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower the blood pressure. It is important to follow up with the doctor for monitoring and adjustment of the treatment plan as needed.

I'm really worried about my dad. He recently had an acute heart attack, and he's 68. Thankfully, he's stable now, but he's also dealing with diabetes. We consulted a cardiologist and decided not to do the angiography because his serum creatinine level was around 1.7, which was a bit high. He's on medication at the moment. Our cardiologist mentioned vaccines called Pulmovac and Vomimp for his heart. I'm curious to know if these vaccines are helpful and if there are any potential side effects I should be aware of.
Pulmovac is a vaccine that helps in preventing pneumonia, which is important in individuals with heart conditions to reduce the risk of respiratory infections. Vomimp is a vaccine that helps in preventing influenza, which is crucial in maintaining overall health and reducing the risk of complications in individuals with heart problems. Both vaccines are generally safe and well-tolerated, with common side effects being mild and temporary such as redness or swelling at the injection site, low-grade fever, or body aches. It is recommended for your father to follow the cardiologist's advice and get vaccinated to protect his heart health. The dosage and schedule for these vaccines will be provided by the healthcare provider administering them.
