I've been taking Telista H 40 for my BP for about a year but sometimes it's not available in my village. My BP has been normal around 120/80 and I recently had EVLT surgery on both legs. The nurses checked my BP post-surgery - first day it was 120/70 and second day 120/80. Can you suggest a low-cost alternative to Telista H 40 that would work for me?

My husband's blood pressure has been quite high, around 150, and he's been getting frequent headaches for about a week now. What can we do to help lower his blood pressure and ease the headaches?

To help your husband reduce his high blood pressure (150) and frequent headaches, consider the following steps: encourage him to consult his doctor to adjust his medication or lifestyle plan; monitor and record his blood pressure regularly; promote stress-reducing techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga; support a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins; encourage regular physical activity, like walking, for at least 30 minutes daily; and help him maintain a consistent sleep schedule, aiming for 7-8 hours of sleep per night.

I'm a bit concerned because when I'm checking my pulse with a pulse oximeter, it's showing messages like "suspected short run of fast pulse" and "suspected occasional short pulse interval." Should I be worried about these readings?

I'm really concerned about my mom's health after she had COVID. She's been feeling really weak and is sweating a lot at night. Her blood pressure sometimes drops below 60100, but then it goes back up after she eats something or takes supplements. I'm not sure what's going on or what we should do about it. Can you give me some advice?
