Question 3

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing, especially when I go up the stairs. It feels like I'm getting out of breath really quickly. Can you tell me what test I should get to figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

The test you may need is called Pulmonary Function Test (PFT). This test can help evaluate how well your lungs are working and identify any breathing problems. In the meantime, you can use a bronchodilator inhaler like Ventolin (albuterol) as needed for relief. The usual dosage is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for shortness of breath.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to an irregular heartbeat. Based on your description and ECG findings of incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) with ST and T changes, you may benefit from a medication called Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) to help regulate your heart rate and rhythm. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25-50mg twice daily, but the dosage may vary depending on your specific condition and response to the medication. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

It seems like your current medication may not be effectively controlling your blood pressure. I recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your medication. In addition to your current treatment, adding a medication like Amlodipine (5mg) or Lisinopril (10mg) can help lower your blood pressure. Remember to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your blood pressure levels.

Question 6

I've been dealing with this nose bleeding issue for years, but after I started taking clopilet, it just seemed to get worse. At first, I was on the 150mg dose with my other meds like ecospirin, but when the bleeding got out of hand, I reduced to 75mg...

Accepted Answer

The nose bleeding may be due to the antiplatelet medication Clopilet. Since the bleeding continued even after reducing the dosage, it is important to address this issue. I would recommend discussing with your doctor about switching to an alternative antiplatelet medication such as Brilinta (Ticagrelor) or Plavix (Clopidogrel) to see if the nose bleeding improves. Additionally, continue taking Ecospirin as prescribed. If the bleeding persists, further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause of the nose bleeds.
