My dad's 65 and he's been dealing with high blood pressure for the past year, taking Telma 40. I just checked his blood pressure today, and it's 140 over 90. Is that normal? I'm really concerned and could use some advice.

Can I drink coconut water after having angioplasty or a stent put in my heart? Also, what kind of fruits and grains juices are good for me following the procedure? I'm a bit worried about how to follow a proper diet now.

Yes, you can consume coconut water after angioplasty surgery. It is a good source of hydration and electrolytes. As for fruits and grains juice, you can consider consuming fresh fruit juices like apple juice or pomegranate juice. Additionally, you can also have barley or oat grain juice for added nutrition.
