My brother had angioplasty about a month ago, and lately, he's been experiencing frequent nosebleeds. It's worrying because whenever he sneezes or coughs, blood comes out of his nose and mouth. He's currently taking blood thinners and anticoagulant medicines for blood pressure. Is this a normal reaction, or should we be concerned?

I've been having this stabbing chest pain for the past couple of days, especially when I laugh or cough. I've already tried taking Rantac and Gelusil, but it hasn't helped at all. It's making me feel really uneasy. Can you tell me what's going on or what I should do?

I'm a 57-year-old man and I've just been diagnosed with high blood pressure. My doctor has prescribed telmisartan 40mg once daily. I'm wondering how long it might take for my blood pressure to get back to normal levels. Should I be concerned if there aren't any immediate changes?

It will take atleast 3-6 weeks .

I'm experiencing really bad pain in my right chest and arm for the past three days. I missed taking my Stamlo tablets around the time the pain started. Usually, I take Rantax and Stamlo regularly. Could missing my medication be causing this pain, or should I be worried about something else?
