Question 1

my dad had diabetes and high bp, then he had surgery but got 3 bp attacks in the last 15 days. how do we manage his medicines now - when should we give them and what dosage would be right?

Accepted Answer

It's crucial to consult with your dad's doctor or a pharmacist to adjust his medication regimen, given his recent surgery and blood pressure fluctuations. It's likely that the surgery and anesthesia may have temporarily impacted his blood pressure, but the recurrence of attacks warrants attention. The doctor will need to assess the cause of the attacks (whether related to surgery, medications, or other factors) and adjust the dosage or type of medication accordingly. It's also important to ensure he is following a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, stress management) to help manage both diabetes and hypertension

Question 2

I'm dealing with something called polycystic and I'm not exactly sure what that means. Could you give me some advice on what exercises or foods might help with this condition? I'm really looking for some guidance here.

Accepted Answer

Consult a doctor or urologist for proper guidance. They may recommend:

1. Topical creams or ointments to loosen the foreskin.
2. Gradual stretching exercises.
3. Preputioplasty (a minor surgical procedure).
4. Circumcision (as a last resort).

Avoid forcing the foreskin back, as it can cause further injury and scarring.

Question 3

I'm really concerned about my father. He's diabetic and took Glycomet GP 2 Forte for about 25 days. Then, out of nowhere, his sugar levels dropped drastically. We saw a doctor who told us to give him sweets, and that seemed to help, bringing his levels back to normal. The doctor checked his kidney, liver, heart, and blood pressure, and everything seemed fine. But then at night, he's been feeling strange. He gets this heat in his chest, pain, a metallic taste in his mouth, tension, and sometimes he wakes up suddenly. We've consulted both a general medicine doctor and a diabetes specialist, but we're not sure why he's experiencing these symptoms. Any idea what's going on?
