My mom's blood pressure spiked to 170100, and the doctor suggested she take Telma 40 mg once daily. It's already been five days, but her BP hasn't budged. Should I think about checking back in with the doctor for a medication switch, or is it normal for the meds to take a bit longer to work?

View allhow can i tell if my bypass surgery was successful are there any specific scans or tests that can confirm everything went well
After bypass surgery, your healthcare team will monitor your recovery and perform tests to assess the success of the procedure and overall heart health. These tests can include a coronary angiogram to check graft patency and blood flow, an echocardiogram to evaluate heart function, and cardiac CT angiography (CTA) to assess graft patency and surrounding structures

I have a VSD in my heart around 25.6 cm with a left-to-right shunt. I'm 36 years old and don't have any major symptoms, but sometimes when something stressful happens or I'm speaking in a gathering, I feel my heart rate increases. Could this be due to nervousness or because of the VSD? I can still run and play, and my height is 5'10 with a weight of 67 kg. Do I need surgery, or can I continue living like this without any issues?

I'm really concerned because I've been having upper back and chest pain along with shortness of breath for the last 10 months. Sometimes my heart palpitations get really intense. There's also this pain in my left chest that travels down to my left hand. Ive done multiple ECGs, a 2D Echo, and a treadmill test, and everything came back normal. My LDL was high at 276 but it's under control now. I also checked in with a lung doctor and even got an X-ray, which was also normal. What puzzles me is that I have no trouble when doing activities like cycling, swimming, or walking. No doctor has been able to pinpoint what's going on, so I'm really looking for some guidance. Any ideas on what could be causing these symptoms?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to your heart and cardiovascular system. Given that your ECG, D Echo, and TMT tests have come back normal, but you are still experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations, it may be worth considering a medication like **Atorvastatin** to help further control your LDL levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular issues. Additionally, considering your symptoms, a medication like **Metoprolol** can help in managing heart palpitations and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss these medication options and determine the appropriate dosage for your specific condition.
