Why is my blood pressure increasing when I stand?
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.

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.

Urgent Medical Inquiry Dear Dr., I hope this message finds you well. My friend, experienced a heart attack and underwent a procedure with two stents. However, post-discharge, he faced complications, including coughing and a subsequent diagnosis of a blood clot. I seek your expert guidance on his condition and potential next steps. Your prompt assistance is highly appreciated. Best regards, Elyas
Male | 62
Your friend's coughing after heart surgery could signal fluid around the lungs. This is sometimes seen as the body responds to the procedure. Immobility post-op may have led to a blood clot forming. It's important to get medical care promptly. Contact your friend's cardiologist right away for an evaluation and proper treatment.

Hi doctor my name is Lakshmi Gopinath I have two hand pain and heart pain in two side.what is the solution.
Female | 23
These signs may indicate a condition known as angina which occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen. This results in discomfort or pressure around the chest; it may also radiate down the arm, up into the neck or back. If these are the symptoms you’re experiencing, then it’s important to get medical help right away because angina could mean that there is something wrong with your heart. Treatment options for angina include medicines, and lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise; sometimes surgery or other procedures might be necessary too if they can help improve blood flow to the heart.

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?
Male | 5
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.

Hello Vishal, Bypass surgery (CABG) is the choice of treatment in case of your father.
