She's got a blood pressure reading of 15090 when we checked it at home. Is that considered high? Just want to be sure.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A blood pressure reading of 15090 is considered high. It is important to monitor blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to lower it. You can consider taking medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help manage high blood pressure. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm having this issue with pain in my upper chest thats been going on for the last six days, and I'm also dealing with a blocked nose and a bit of a cough. I havent had any fever, but the first day, the pain was pretty intense and felt like a crushing sensation whenever I moved, with pressure in the upper chest area. My hand and shoulder muscles are hurting too, and there's some pain in my back just behind my chest along with prickly feelings every now and then. It's making it really hard for me to sleep. A couple of weeks ago, I had a cold with a fever and a cough but there was no chest pain then. I used to smoke for a few years but I quit smoking about a year ago. Could you help me figure out what's going on and suggest which specialist I should see?

I'm kind of worried because I'm experiencing this heaviness in my chest and sometimes have trouble breathing. Plus, there's this pain that hits suddenly, not all the time, but it can come out of nowhere. Should I be concerned?
The intermittent heaviness in your chest, breathing difficulties, and sudden pains may indicate underlying conditions such as angina, acid reflux, asthma, or anxiety attacks; to determine the cause, consult a cardiologist or a primary care physician for a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), and possibly imaging tests like an echocardiogram or a chest X-ray.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's dealing with heart issues and fluid retention, and while he's on the right meds and treatments, he still seems to lose energy often and can't do his usual daily stuff. Is this kind of fatigue normal for someone in his condition, or could there be a particular reason behind it? I'm also curious if there's any surgical option that might help his situation. What do you think?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
