Question 1

I've been on Amlodipine 5mg for a couple of weeks and have started feeling tightness in my chest and like I might faint. I've had hypertension since taking Telmikind AM twice a day and I'm also on Norethisterone 10 mg. I'm really concerned about these symptoms. Could these medications be causing these side effects, and what should I do about it? Would really appreciate some guidance here.

Accepted Answer

"Based on your symptoms of tightness in the chest and fainting, it is possible that you are experiencing side effects from the Amlodipine and Telmisartan combination. These medications are commonly used to treat hypertension, but in some cases, they can cause adverse reactions. I recommend that you consult your healthcare provider to discuss alternative medications for your high blood pressure. It is important to address these symptoms promptly to avoid any complications. In the meantime, you should also monitor your blood pressure regularly and avoid any activities that could be dangerous if you experience fainting spells. I don't know the specific medication that would be suitable for you, as it would depend on your individual health profile and any underlying conditions you may have."

Question 2

I'm really worried because I've been having chest pain for the last week. I took OMEE D on my own for only a day. Could you tell me the right dosage for OMEE D? I used to drink two lemon juices every day. Is that what's causing my chest pain?

Accepted Answer

omee d is 20 mg, reduce consumption of lemon juice

Question 3

I've been having an abnormal heart rate for the past month, consistently between 90 and 110. I was on high blood pressure medication but stopped taking it two months ago based on my doctor's advice. They told me to keep an eye on my blood pressure, but I'm worried about whether my heart rate is something to be concerned about. Should I be seeing any changes, or is this normal after stopping the medication?

Accepted Answer

It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure. Since you are experiencing an abnormal heart rate, it is crucial to manage your blood pressure effectively. You can monitor your blood pressure at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. If your blood pressure remains consistently high, your doctor may recommend restarting your high blood pressure medication. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.
