Cardiac Surgeon
Answered on 23rd May '24
The best treatment for an aortic dissection of Stanford Type B that is not severe depends on the overall health of the patient. Medications can be used to control symptoms and prevent complications, but in some cases, surgery may be needed. I advise you thoroughly to see a cardiologist for adequate evaluation and treatment.

Hello, Can I ask if what should I do if my mom's blood pressure didn't go lower than 170/70. She's a dialysis patient. But since last night, her bp is 180/60 or 190/70.
Female | 62
It occurs when pressure builds inside blood vessels. There could be several causes – stress, kidney disease, or not adhering to the dialysis routine. Unchecked, it can lead to heart strain, even damage arteries. You should promptly alert your mom's doctors. They might alter medications or propose lifestyle changes.

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..
Female | 65
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.

I am 62 year old. I have been taking medicine for last 4-5 year. Heart pumping was set at 42% from last 3 year , but I had got heat attack 2 times and now pumping work at 30% and No blockage, now what should I will do ?
Male | 62
You should consult a cardiologist as soon as possible to determine how well your heart functions. A drop from 42% pumping to the level of 30% is considerable, and it may call for a modification in medication or other therapy. Heart health must be taken care of by the specialist to avoid further heart attacks.

Bp range is 90 160 is need to consult doctor it's emergency condition or not
Female | 59
A blood pressure reading between 90/60 and 160/100 is usually fine. However, if your BP stays above 160/100, it's important to see a cardiologist. High blood pressure can be dangerous and may lead to serious health issues like heart disease, even without symptoms. Eating healthy and quitting bad habits can help manage hypertension, but it's best to consult a doctor for personalized advice.

I was diagnosed with hypertension at age 13. I started taking Lisinopril 5mg daily with great results. Two weeks ago i noticed my resting bloodpressure is perfect (104/67-120/80) but as soon as i stand it rises to 121/80s-139/90s and distolic goes even higher the longer i stand and increased palpatations sometimes with discomfort. I do not work. Im 29 year old male. Ive avoided standing and exercise sence i noticed changes. What could this be. Thyroid bloodwork is normal.
Male | 29
You are possibly having orthostatic hypertension, which is a sharp rise in blood pressure when getting up from a sitting position. I would suggest that you see a cardiologist who can do the necessary tests to identify the underlying cause and after that offer the right treatment.

Male | 55
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.
