View allI'm a bit concerned about my blood pressureit seems to be all over the place. Sometimes its normal, but other times it spikes. Im trying to understand what my true blood pressure level is. How can I get an accurate diagnosis for this?
To diagnose the correct exact blood pressure level, you can monitor your blood pressure regularly at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. Make sure to follow these steps: 1. Sit quietly for 5 minutes before taking your blood pressure. 2. Place the cuff on your bare upper arm at heart level. 3. Take two or three readings, 1 minute apart, in the morning before taking any medications and in the evening before dinner. 4. Record the date, time, and blood pressure readings. 5. Share this record with your doctor for proper evaluation and management. If your blood pressure continues to fluctuate, your doctor may recommend further evaluation or prescribe antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine (Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help control your blood pressure.

I'm really worried about my 72-year-old mom. She had an angioplasty last month and didn't have any pain after, but she's developed this really bad dry cough. She's on a bunch of meds: clopilet, ecosprin, prolomet, ivabrad, lipicure, pantocid, and piriton syrup, plus aldactone. Do you think any of these could be causing her cough, or is there something else we should be looking into? I really want to help her get some relief. What do you suggest?
That could be due to side effect of one of the medicines that your using visit your doctor for switch of the medicine and maintain healthy lifestyle

I'm starting to feel my pulse all over my body and it's been like this for about two weeks. I notice it in different places like my feet when I'm lying down and sometimes in my thighs, arms, and even my wrists and fingers. I can actually count the pulse without touching it, like it's happening one spot at a time. Is this something I should be worried about or could it be something serious?
This sensation of feeling a pulse in different parts of your body is known as palpitations. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, dehydration, or hormonal changes. However, if this symptom persists and is accompanied by other symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to reduce your caffeine intake, stay hydrated, and practice stress-reducing techniques. If the palpitations continue, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Propranolol to help regulate your heart rate.
