I was just in the hospital for covid, and they treated me with dexa and antibiotic injections. I got discharged yesterday, but now my heart rate is really slowlike 48 to 49 bpm. Is this something serious? I'm kinda worried about what's going on.

I'm finding myself getting angry over really small things lately and it's been bothering me because I also have high blood pressure. I've been on Cilacar 5mg every day. Could there be any link between my medication and these mood changes, or should I be worried about something else affecting my emotions, maybe even my blood pressure? I'm really looking for advice on how to handle this.

For cold and sneezing, Montek LC may not be the best option. Consider taking antihistamines like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or loratadine (Claritin). Pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) can also help. Saline nasal sprays or steam inhalation can provide additional relief.

My dad's heart is only pumping at 19% capacity, and I'm really worried about him. He's also been dealing with diabetes and recently had some edema issues. Is there anything we can do to help improve his heart function?

I recommend that your father's condition be managed with medications such as Carvedilol (Coreg) to help improve heart function and reduce strain on the heart. Additionally, medications like Furosemide (Lasix) can help with the edema by reducing fluid retention. It is important to closely monitor his diabetes as well to keep his blood sugar levels under control. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and lifestyle modifications can also help improve heart function.
