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.

My mother has recently been diagnosed with a heart tumor. She was told that it was not causing problems with blood flow. Surgery was not advised. She has had three bouts with edema, one was serious. She had type 2 diabetes which is well controlled. She has high blood pressure. She is the most active woman her age that I have ever known. Why shouldn’t she have surgery? It doesn’t seem like the tumor is asymptomatic at all.
Female | 83
Sometimes, doctors may decide against surgery for heart tumors if they believe the risks outweigh the benefits, especially in older patients or those with other health conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes. Her edema could be due to other factors. It is best to consult with a cardiologist who can give a detailed explanation and guide you on the best course of action.

Male | 11 days
A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a small hole in the heart between its chambers. Some people may not show symptoms, while others might experience fatigue and shortness of breath. Don't worry—many cases don’t require treatment, and if needed, your doctor will recommend the best option, which could be surgery. Remember to have regular check-ups with a cardiologist to monitor the condition's progress.

It seems like you're struggling with breathing and eating. Those food pieces that get stuck in your throat and the burning sensation in your chest and throat may be caused by acid reflux. The pain in your left hand and dizziness might be signs of heart issues. It's better to go to a cardiologist sooner rather than later to have your heart checked and get some tips on managing acid reflux.

Chest pain could signify high cholesterol, meaning excessive fat in the blood. This situation carries risk, as it can obstruct heart-bound blood vessels. To resolve this, your husband can adopt a wholesome diet, engage in physical activity, and consume prescribed medication if necessary. You can also consult a cardiologist.

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

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.
