My dad had angioplasty a couple of months ago, and lately, hes been getting these red patches on his skin. They stick around for about 15 to 20 days and then disappear, only to pop up somewhere else on his body. Its been happening for the past month, and hes still on the meds the doctor gave him after the angioplasty. What could be causing these red patches?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The recurring red patches on your father's skin, healing and reappearing elsewhere, could be related to various factors, including allergic reactions to medications, skin infections, or autoimmune disorders; given his recent angioplasty and ongoing medication, consult his cardiologist or a dermatologist to rule out potential causes, such as drug-induced vasculitis or skin reactions to antiplatelet medications, and adjust his treatment plan accordingly.

I'm having this weird experience where I feel a pulse in my butt when I'm sitting or lying on the bed. It comes out of nowhere, and once I pay attention to it, the pulse is perfectly in sync with my heart rate. It's like it won't stop as long as I focus on it. I also have high cholesterol and sometimes feel this pulsing in my ankle and the sole of my foot. I'm honestly really confused because some doctors say it's nothing, while others online mention it might be peripheral artery disease. I'm just 21, and the thought of this possibly being something serious is making me super anxious. What should I do?
At your age (21) and with a normal heart rate and no other major symptoms, this sensation is very unlikely to be a sign of something dangerous. Its likely related to the circulation in the area. However, its always good to get checked by a healthcare professional for peace of mind. Keep monitoring your cholesterol, and dont hesitate to ask your doctor for more tests if you continue to feel uncertain.

I'm 33 and my blood pressure can fluctuate - sometimes it's around 13590, other times closer to 13085. I've noticed that my heart rate isn't always consistent; sometimes I can really feel it, and other times not so much. It seems to get worse at night. Should I be worried about this? Is it something risky?
Your blood pressure readings are slightly elevated, but not in the high risk range. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress.
