My dad had some trouble with his breathing yesterday, so we rushed him to the hospital, and they said it's mitral stenosis. I'm really worried. Is this something serious? What steps should we be taking now?

I'm really worried about my husband. He had a heart attack on February 6, 2017, and only one artery was opened during the angioplasty. He was on a ventilator and an IBP machine for four days. Then he had a CABG on March 9, 2017. Since then, he's been having this stiff feeling at the back of his head and constant pain there. What could be causing this, and should we be concerned?

I've been taking SARTEL40 telmisartan tablets for the last three months, and my blood pressure is now under control at 13585. I'm feeling pretty good, so I'm wondering if it's okay to reduce my dose to 20 mg. What do you think?

I've been feeling really anxious ever since I lost my job last month. The anxiety seems to be affecting my heart rate too. It was usually under 90, but in the last 20 days, I've noticed it's been higher. I've recently managed to get my resting heart rate down to under 75 by starting brisk walking and taking an arjuna tablet once a day. However, I've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side during my walks, and my heart rate shoots up to 130. I just did an ECG test because of this. Can you take a look at my ECG report and let me know what might be going on and the best way to handle it?

start doing exercises, drink plenty of water
