Why are young people who are fit suddenly having heart attacks? It's really worrying because even those who keep up with their fitness are facing these heart problems at such a young age. Can you explain why this is happening and suggest some preventive measures we can take against this serious issue?

There are several factors that can contribute to this, including genetics, lifestyle choices, and underlying health conditions. Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking, managing stress, and getting regular check-ups with your healthcare provider. In terms of medication, aspirin can be used as a preventive measure for heart attacks. Low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) taken daily can help reduce the risk of heart attacks in high-risk individuals. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication regimen.

View allI'm taking Betacap TR 40 in the morning, but my BP is still high and can't be controlled. I've been feeling dizzy for a few days, and yesterday I had a root canal done. Today, my blood pressure is 150110, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what to do next?
I can't know the exact reason for your high blood pressure without a proper examination, but considering your symptoms and recent dental procedure, it is possible that the pain and stress from the root canal treatment may have contributed to the elevated blood pressure. I would recommend you to continue taking Betacap TR 40 as prescribed, and also consider adding an additional medication like Telma 40 (Telmisartan) once daily to help control your blood pressure. Additionally, try to manage your stress levels, get an adequate amount of rest, and follow a healthy diet low in salt and saturated fats. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Is it normal to feel your heartbeat at night? I've noticed that I'm getting anxious easily too. Could this be a sign of something wrong with my heart? I'm a bit worried.
Feeling your heart beating at night and experiencing anxiety could be related to a heart condition, but it could also be due to other factors such as stress, caffeine intake, or even sleep apnea. To address this issue, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help reduce your heart rate and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques before bed and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help improve your symptoms.

My mom's blood pressure was 130200 even though she's been taking her Zilarata medication. One doctor gave her half a medication, and then she relaxed, and her BP went down to 100145. But now it's at 120180. Do you think it's okay if I give her a BP win tablet?
