Why Am I Having High Blood Pressure?
sir, I am 60 year old male, weight 60 kg height 5'4". I had a mild heart attack in 2008 and PTCA was performed and BMS stent was placed in RCA, again after 6month PTCA was done in same RCA in place of BMS stent a medicated stent was placed. Now after routine CAG in this October, 2011 it was found that there is 90% blockage in RCA below the previous stent. After the 3rd time PTCA I feed week, my blood pressure go up suddenly, and feel sweating when blood pressure goes up, some time there is short of breath and feel heart beats. Is these all symptomes is normal? and when I feed completely recovered please ?

hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough cardio thoracic assessment is advised followed by a routine checkup.
As you have undergone PTCA and CAG post which you BP is not slowing down you should check your heart thoroughly.
As you are having this issues again and again you need to focus on PTCA post rehabilitation plan. As most patients need to focus on their deit and physical activity to improve the Cardiorespiratory retraining and also improve the hemodynamics which can be achieved by exercises.
As the process of thickening of the blood is higher you need to perform good physical exercises as to improve the metabolism and also the immune system.
Most cases do not get recurrent PTCA or CABG in my clinical practice. We rehabilitate patients post PTCA and CABG and make their physical status to optimum.
Also respiratory retraining is needed post PTCA and CABG as to improve the hemodynamics and also the Cardiorespiratory endurance.
Now to understand here is the body changes over a period of time which is called the degenerative changes occuring and it is common. Having a healthy and FIT lifestyle is what needed to focus to compensate the requirements of other systems by Having control over the Diet and physical exercise.
