Hey, a few days back I had a weird situation where I started feeling really anxious, my heart rate shot up to 150, and I had palpitations. I took Ciplar LA 20 and Dolo 650, and luckily my pulse eventually dropped back to 75. I'm trying to figure out if this was Supraventricular Tachycardia or just something normal? This happened to me once about three months ago, and it got better after taking Dolo 650 and some anxiety meds. I even had an ECG done in May, and that came out perfect. Do you think these two episodes could be Supraventricular Tachycardia, or are they just normal?

Based on your description, it is possible that you experienced episodes of Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) given the sudden onset of palpitations, anxiety feeling, and rapid rise in pulse rate to 150 beats per minute. The fact that your symptoms improved after taking Ciplar LA 20 (propranolol) which is a beta-blocker commonly used to manage SVT supports this possibility. Additionally, the normal ECG results in May suggest that there may not be any underlying structural heart issues causing the SVT. For the management of SVT episodes, you can continue to use Ciplar LA 20 as needed to help control your heart rate. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to discuss long-term management options, such as potential medication adjustments or other interventions like ablation therapy. In the meantime, it is advisable to avoid triggers that may precipitate SVT episodes, such as caffeine, stress, or certain medications. Keeping a record of your symptoms and discussing them with your healthcare provider can also help in monitoring your condition effectively.

View allI'm dealing with a bit of high cholesterol, and my doctor recommended taking Roseday 5 mg daily. But right now, I'm in Malaysia and can't seem to find Roseday here. Do you think it's okay for me to take Crestor 5 mg instead until I can get my hands on Roseday? Would that be safe?

My dad is 58 and has a lot going on with his health. He's been through CABG surgery and deals with CKD and diabetes. His weight is around 59-61 kg. Up until now, his blood pressure's been quite stable, but recently I noticed it's gone up to about 140150 over 8090. I'm getting pretty worried about it. Do you think there's something with his medication? He's on Orofer XT, Cardivas 6.25, Nefrosave forte, Alfoo tab, Ecospirin Gold, and Isolazine. Could any dietary changes help as well? Would love to know what you think.
Given your father's medical history and current medications, to help manage his increased blood pressure, you can consider adding an antihypertensive medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, it's important to ensure he is following a low-sodium diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Encouraging regular physical activity and stress-reducing activities can also be beneficial for his overall health.

I'm dealing with high blood pressure and tachycardia, and my heart rate is pretty fast. I've been taking Hypen 121.5 mg daily for my BP and Indever 40 mg twice a day. Lately, I've started taking Indever regularly, and I've noticed that whenever I talk loudly or shout, I get chest pain. This has been happening for the last four months, even with the medication. Is this something I should be worried about?
no problem you continue your medicine
