I've noticed my BP readings have gone up, with today's being 14060. Is this considered high? Can I get it back to normal? Six months ago, my readings were around 13080 to 13090. Last night, I was under a lot of stress and didn't sleep well. I also skipped meals and generally don't have a very healthy lifestylestaying up late, waking up late, and not exercising much. I don't smoke, though. Any advice would be appreciated.

Sleep better and establish a consistent sleep routine. Eat on time, focus on a low-sodium, well-balanced diet. Exercise regularly. Manage stress through techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or exercise. Monitor your BP regularly and seek advice from a healthcare provider if needed.

View allI'm really worried about my mom, she's 40 and has been dealing with rheumatic heart disease. She had valve replacement surgery and is now on various medications, including something called cotton, but she's still facing issues like shortness of breath and a fast heart rate. I'm wondering if it's safe to try Ayurvedic treatment instead? Are there any risks if she stops her allopathy medicine in favor of Ayurvedic options?
Switching from allopathy (conventional medicine) to Ayurvedic treatment for a serious condition like rheumatic heart disease, especially after valve replacement surgery, should be done cautiously and under the guidance of healthcare professionals. Ayurvedic medications may have interactions with the current medications she is taking, so it is important to consult with her cardiologist before making any changes.

I've recently quit smoking, but I'm still experiencing chest pain. I had a stress test done, and it came back normal. Could you suggest a doctor who might be able to help me with this?
Given your history of smoking and persistent chest pain despite a normal stress test, consult a pulmonologist or a cardiologist to rule out underlying conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary embolism, or cardiac issues like coronary artery disease or pericarditis; they will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and test results to determine the cause of your chest pain and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
