my grandma had open heart surgery and they took veins from her legs for it now the wound is healing but above her ankle it's getting wider and fluid is coming out can we use hydrogen peroxide to clean it or what's the best way to take care of this

Clean gently with saline or antiseptic—not hydrogen peroxide as it delays wound healing.

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure and heart rate. My BP reading came out to be 14997, and my heart rate was 106. I'm hoping to avoid taking medication if possible. Do these numbers suggest any health concerns, and what can I do to get my blood pressure back to a normal range naturally?
To reduce your blood pressure without medication, you can try the following lifestyle changes: - Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables. - Limit alcohol intake and quit smoking. - Manage stress through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and keep a record to track changes. The blood pressure reading you provided (14997) is considered high and may indicate hypertension. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
