I've been having trouble breathing when I'm lying down, but I feel fine otherwise. It's been happening on and off for a few months, but the nights of December 11th and 12th were really tough for me. What could be causing this, and should I be worried about it?

View allI'm thinking about trying EECP therapy for my dad. He had a heart attack two years ago and he's got a stent in one artery, while the other two are clogged with 90% and 80% blockages. I've heard a lot of positive things about this natural bypass therapy, and some hospitals do offer it. But I'm just not sure about the results. Is it really effective? Or would angioplasty be the better option here?
EECP therapy can be a beneficial option for your father's condition. It is a non-invasive treatment that can help improve blood flow to the heart muscle by promoting the development of collateral circulation. However, in the case of significant blockages like 90% and 80% in his arteries, angioplasty may be a more suitable option to directly address the blockages. For the blockages your father has, angioplasty with stent placement may be recommended to open up the blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart. This procedure can help reduce symptoms and lower the risk of future heart-related complications. I recommend discussing these treatment options with your father's cardiologist to determine the most appropriate course of action based on his individual condition and medical history.

Today my mom's been having chest pains, so we got an ECG done. The results mentioned an abnormal R wave progression with early transition. I'm not quite sure what that means or how concerned we should be. Can you explain it to me and let me know if it's anything serious?
yes

I've been taking Tazloc CT 40 for the past three weeks, but today when I checked my blood pressure in the evening, it was 150100. I'm really worried because it hasn't gone down. What could be going on?
Tazloc CT 40 contains Telmisartan 40mg and Chlorthalidone 12.5mg. If your blood pressure is still high despite taking Tazloc CT 40 for 3 weeks, you may need a higher dose or an additional medication. I recommend consulting your doctor to adjust your treatment plan.
