My dad had an angioplasty on the 14th of last month, and now hes been dealing with a persistent cough. We've already seen our regular physician, but it hasn't improved. He's on Ramistar, Rampril, and has a reduced left ventricular function with an EF of 44. Should we be worried about this cough not getting better? Could it be related to his heart medications, or is something else going on? I'm looking for advice on what we should do next.

Ramipril can sometimes cause cough as a side effect. If it is too severe, then the medication may need to be replaced with another anti-hypertensive. It is best to consult your regular cardiologist before making any changes to your regular medication.

View allI've been on Nebicard 5 mg for about three years and I'm also taking Ciplar, Serta, and Etizola for anxiety and panic attacks as my psychiatrist prescribed. I have mild MVP and I'm really concerned about whether taking Nebicard and Ciplar together might cause any problems. Plus, I'm experiencing random episodes of excessive sweating. Could this be linked to my MVP or is it just part of my anxiety? I'm worried and would appreciate any insight you might have.

I've been wondering if cold weather can affect blood pressure. I've noticed that my blood pressure is usually around 12080 to 13084 in the summer, but during the winter, it seems to go up to 13384 and sometimes even 13587. Is that something to be concerned about or is it normal for it to fluctuate with the seasons? Would really appreciate some insight.
Yes, cold weather can affect blood pressure. In colder temperatures, blood vessels tend to constrict in order to conserve heat and maintain body temperature, which can lead to an increase in blood pressure. This is why blood pressure tends to be higher in the winter and lower in the summer. To help manage your blood pressure during the winter, you can consider taking medications like Amlodipine (5mg) or Lisinopril (10mg) as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques can also help regulate your blood pressure levels throughout the year.
