Suffering from cold, chest congestion and sore throat. What is it?
Hello doctor,
I am a 60-year-old male who is overweight. Other than being overweight, I am in relatively good health. I am getting regular health checkups every six months. Currently, I am taking Triamterene and Simvastatin 20 mg. I recently had a cold, respiratory discomfort, chest congestion, sneezing, sore throat, mild fever, and coughing. Congestion is gone, as is sneezing. Sore throat lingers. There is an irritated spot on the back of the tongue. It could be from sucking on too many cough drops. Tonsils and the entire throat area are red and swollen. Ibuprofen relieves pain temporarily. Please give some thoughts or any suggestions. Initial symptoms of chest congestion appeared seven days ago. Please guide.
Thanks.

What is the significance of a fluctuating blood pressure?
Hello doctor,
My father has been suffering from hypertension for more than 12 years and has been taking medication. For the past six to seven months, his blood pressure has been very much under control with ayurvedic treatment. So, he very gradually decreased and stopped taking the medicines. Around four to five weeks back, his blood pressure started rising again. So, he restarted some medications after consultation with the doctor. Now, we are seeing fluctuations in his daily blood pressure varying from (systolic readings) of 115 - 170 mmHg during the day (his systolic blood pressure reading even dropped to 95 mmHg after taking one of the tablets - Prazopress, after which the doctor asked to take that specific tablet - Prazopress on a requirement basis). We have done all the relevant tests, which seem fine according to our doctor, except for high cholesterol and Vitamin-D deficiency. He is currently taking Nebicard, Clopitorva, Olmax, and sometimes Prazopress when his blood pressure shoots over 170 mmHg. He also takes appropriate precautions with food and goes for morning and evening walks for 30 minutes each. What is the significance of this fluctuating blood pressure? Are there any risks involved? Do we need to change the medication?
