No ,sleeping on your left side, specifically, could help the flow of blood to your heart. When your heart pumps blood out to your body, it getsside.culated and then flows back to your heart on the right side

I've been dealing with hypertension for the last 12 years and usually take TOZAM Losartan 50mg Amlodipine 5mg in the morning. But about a month ago, I noticed some palpitations and sweating, and when I checked, my blood pressure was 95150. After getting checked at the hospital, they did an angiogram and said theres a minor artery disease with a 30% block. Now, they've put me on TOZAM and Prolomate XL 25mg Metoprolol 25mg every morning, plus Rosutor Gold Aspirin at night. I'm wondering, do I really need to be on both TOZAM and Prolomate, or is there something else I should be considering?

Yes both are required to regulate your haert function,no need to worry follow your doctors advice and maintain healthy lifestyle.

My dad's been dealing with really high blood pressure, it's at 190100, and it's been like this for a week now. It's pretty concerning because he's also been managing diabetes for like 10 years, high blood pressure issues for 5 years, and kidney problems for 3 years. Even though he's on medication, his blood pressure isn't budging. What should we do in this situation? Could there be something else to try or look into?

I'm really concerned about my 75-year-old mother-in-law who has a pacemaker and had to stop using her hearing aid. Her cardiologist mentioned that the electromagnetic signals could mess with the pacemaker. I'm wondering if it's possible for her to use both if we keep the hearing aid battery more than 6 inches away from the pacemaker. If so, what kind of hearing aid would you recommend in this situation? Would love your advice on this.

Ent opinion.
