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 still dealing with chest pain whenever I talk loudly or shout, especially when I'm angry. It starts spreading and only eases when I lie down or someone rubs my back. Even climbing stairs brings on the pain. I've had all the tests, including a CT Angio, and everything came back normal, with the cardiologist saying there's no heart issue. But this problem isn't going away. I'm feeling really confused about what steps to take next. Should I consider getting a more in-depth check-up or maybe visit a bigger hospital?

I'm really worried because my dad had a heart attack yesterday. After he got an injection, he seemed better, but today, we went to another hospital for an angiogram. They found two blockages that are over 80% and now theyre saying he needs angioplasty. I'm really wondering, what happens if we dont go through with the angioplasty? Are there other options we could consider? And is there any way we can try to clear the blockages naturally from home?
If the blockages in the coronary arteries are more than 80%, it is crucial to address them to prevent further complications such as another heart attack or even death. If angioplasty is not performed, the blockages can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, causing chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and in severe cases, a heart attack. The main alternative to angioplasty for severe blockages is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, where a healthy blood vessel is used to bypass the blocked artery. However, the decision between angioplasty and CABG depends on various factors and should be discussed with the treating cardiologist. As for natural ways to remove blockages at home, it is important to note that while lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and not smoking can help prevent further blockages, they may not remove existing severe blockages. It is always best to follow the medical advice of your healthcare provider for the most appropriate treatment in this situation.
