View allI'm really worried because my ECG report says "old lateral infarct sinus rhythm." I'm not sure what that means exactly. Could you help me understand it? Should I be concerned or take any specific actions?
The ECG report indicating an old lateral infarct means that there was a previous heart attack that affected the lateral (side) part of the heart. Sinus rhythm refers to the normal heart rhythm. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you may be prescribed medications like Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots, as well as a beta-blocker like Metoprolol to reduce the workload on the heart. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as following a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking.

I'm concerned about my husband's medication for high blood pressure. He's taking Minipress XL and Eslo At, but I'm confused about whether these should be taken before or after meals. His blood pressure is usually around 160110, but after taking the meds, it drops to 12585, and then he feels weak. Is that a normal reaction?

My father had angioplasty last December but still has a mild blockage. The doctor said they'll deal with it later and he's on meds now but has constant coughing. Will the meds clear the blockage or will he need another surgery? If surgery is needed how soon should it be done? He's reluctant to go back to the hospital and I'm worried about his condition
