My mom's blood pressure was 130200 even though she's been taking her Zilarata medication. One doctor gave her half a medication, and then she relaxed, and her BP went down to 100145. But now it's at 120180. Do you think it's okay if I give her a BP win tablet?

View allSo, I've been keeping track of my heart rate and noticed that my resting heart rate is usually between 50 and 55 bpm. I'm a 20-year-old guy, relatively healthy, and Im about 6'2 tall, weighing 74 kg. When I do high-intensity interval training, my heart rate can spike up to 150-160 bpm. Is this normal for someone my age and build, or should I be concerned about these numbers?
A resting heart rate averaging around 50-55 bpm can be normal for a healthy 20-year-old male, especially if you are physically active or an athlete, as regular exercise often leads to a lower resting heart rate due to increased cardiovascular efficiency. Reaching a heart rate of 150-160 bpm during High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is also within normal ranges for vigorous exercise. However, if you experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, or fainting, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure there are no underlying issues. Otherwise, your heart rate appears consistent with a healthy, active lifestyle.

Hey, I had a heart attack three months ago and I initially thought it was just a gastric issue, so I didn't go to the hospital right away. I was working normally until I went in for a routine check-up a few days later and they told me I had a heart attack. They did an angioplasty and put a stent in my LAD, and everything seemed to go well. Now, I'm doing a morning walk every day, around 6 km in an hour. I'm a 47-year-old guy and I'm just wondering, when would be a good time for me to go for a stress echo?
Given that you had a heart attack three months ago and have since undergone successful angioplasty with stent placement, its important to follow your cardiologist's advice for follow-up care. Typically, a stress echo is recommended several months after the procedure to evaluate how well your heart is functioning under stress and to ensure that the stent is working effectively. You should consult with your cardiologist to determine the best timing for this test based on your individual recovery and health status. Its great that you are walking daily; continue following your doctor's guidance on physical activity and medication.
