Follow your doctor's prescription as high blood pressure can increase your risk of developing other health problems. Regular exercise and meditation can also be helpful in managing your blood pressure. Physical exercise, brisk walking, jogging, or cycling for at least 30 minutes a day can reduce blood pressure.

My son in law is 40 years old and for the last 5 days has high blood pressure 180/90 . His face is swelling too. And he took some pills to lower the pressure but it doesn’t get lower than 16 What he should do? Thank you
He should immediately consult a cardiologist as he has very high blood pressure which could be a serious health concern. Swelling in the face is a sign of a more severe condition that needs urgent medical attention.

If your ECG is normal then the pain may be due to muscle strain, anxiety or acid reflux. If medicines are not giving permanent relief, then talk to a doctor again, they may suggest few tests to find the exact reason of pain.

Hello.. Iam 65. It's been a week I had my mitral valve replacement. Doctors replaced my mitral valve with mechanical valve.Is mechanical valve safe for me? As my age is 65..? Please reply me..
Mechanical valves are safe for most patients, even for those who are 65 years old but there are some risks. Patients with mechanical valves need to take blood thinning medication for the rest of their lives to prevent blood clots from forming on the valve, which can be a serious complication.

Hello, my doctor prescribed me high blood pressure medication for my insomnia and I seen somewhere where it’s dangerous to take high blood pressure medicine without actually having it And I’m wondering if it will effect me
High bp medication is usually not prescribed if your bp is normal. The medication lowers bp and if its already normal, it can cause your bp to drop too low, which can lead to complications such as dizziness or fainting. In some cases medications used to treat high bp may also have sedative or calming effects, which is why your doctor may have prescribed it for your insomnia.

Should someone be concerned if their doctor states in their file after an echocardiogram that "a left superior vena cava is not present"? Is this a good or bad thing?
The absence of a left superior vena cava is a rare anatomical variation where the vein is not located in its usual position. It is generally considered a normal variant and not inherently good or bad. While it usually doesn't cause health issues, it can bring challenges during certain medical procedures.
