My mom's been dealing with high blood pressure, and I just got a reading of 15088 from a digital device today. Our family doctor recommended ATEN 25 for her and suggested she takes 2 tablets daily. I'm worried and wondering if that's the best medication for her situation. Could you share any advice or thoughts on this?

I'm experiencing this chest heaviness and heavy breathing whenever I walk or do any small physical activities, and it's been going on for about three weeks now. I already went to my GP about two weeks ago and was on Azithromycin for three days, but it didnt really help. Yesterday, I started feeling some chest pain right in the center, and when I consulted a cardiologist online, they said it wasn't cardiac pain. But this morning after a little activity post-breakfast, I felt the same heaviness and then a dull pain in the center of my chest. It only lasts about 2 seconds and then disappears for a minute. The pain doesn't get worse when I breathe deeply either. Just wondering what's going on and what I should do next. Any thoughts?

take one pain killer and one antacid

I'm really concerned about my father who is 56 and had pneumonia during his COVID infection. Although he's now COVID-negative, he's been prescribed Voritrol 200mg. I'm worried because he had a stent placed four years ago, is on blood thinners, and also has diabetes. Can you tell me if it's safe for him to take Voritrol given his medical history?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
