I've been on high BP meds for about seven years. Initially, my BP was around 140100, and my doctor put me on olmetrack 20, but it didn't do much. After 2-3 years, they added nebicard 2.5 to the olmetrack, which helped, but my BP was still around 14095 or 13590 without any diet changes or exercise. Now, for the past month, I've started dieting and taking walks, and my BP has dropped to about 12075 to 11067. I'm wondering if this improvement is because of my lifestyle change. Do I still need both meds, or should I try stopping one to see how it affects my BP?

View allI'm a bit confused and concerned because I just got an EKG done, and the results say "borderline ECG." What exactly does that mean? Should I be worried about this?
Borderline ECG means that the results of your EKG are not definitively normal or abnormal. It suggests that there may be slight abnormalities in the electrical activity of your heart, but it is not conclusive. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.

I've been feeling this sharp pain on the left side of my chest, and it's got me worried. It seems to flare up whenever I climb stairs or if I try to sleep on my left side. Does this sound like anything serious? Should I be concerned about it, or is there something specific I should be doing to manage it?
Based on your symptoms, it is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or even a cardiac issue. However, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack. I recommend you to take an immediate ECG test and consult a cardiologist. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief.

My brother-in-law had a heart attack yesterday morning and was rushed to the hospital. The doctors said he had multiple strokes at home and in the hospital. They also mentioned that one of his arteries was previously blocked and now it's burst. He's been on a ventilator since yesterday morning, but now the doctors are saying he is no more and are asking us to remove the ventilator. What should we do in this situation? Is there anything else we can try?
I am sorry to hear about your brother-in-law's condition. It sounds like he experienced a severe medical emergency. In this situation, the focus is on providing comfort and support to the patient and their loved ones. It is important to trust the medical team's expertise and decision-making. In such cases, the medical team may use medications like Morphine to help manage pain and provide comfort to the patient during their final moments. Additionally, medications like Midazolam may be used to help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. These medications can be administered intravenously at appropriate doses as needed. It is important to have open communication with the medical team and express any concerns or questions you may have during this difficult time.
