I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've been taking Concor Cor 2.5 mg every day for the past couple of months to help with chest pain, not for high blood pressure. I'm feeling better now and was wondering how I can stop taking it safely without causing any problems? I'd really appreciate your advice!

View allI've got a pretty long medical history with congenital heart disease, two open-heart surgeries, and a pacemaker implanted because of atrial fibrillation. My thyroid levels are low, and I'm on medications like Cordarone and beta blockers. It's been rough over the last year with this intense pounding sensation over my nose and super high blood pressure that just won't get under control. I've tried all the check-ups I can think of. What could possibly be causing this uncontrollable high blood pressure, and what can I do about it?
Uncontrollable high blood pressure can be challenging to manage, especially with your complex medical history. Since you are already on Cordarone, a Beta Blocker, and thyroid medication, one option to consider adding is an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril. The recommended dosage for Lisinopril is usually starting at 10 mg once a day, which can be adjusted based on your blood pressure response. Additionally, a diuretic such as Hydrochlorothiazide may also be beneficial in controlling your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and work closely with your healthcare provider to adjust your medications as needed.

My mom had a CABG surgery back in 2013, and now her recent ECG shows something called left atrial abnormality. I'm a bit worried about what this means for her. How serious is this condition, and is it something that can be managed with medication?

I'm feeling really anxious lately and having these weird palpitations. Sometimes my hands and legs go numb too. I had a Holter test and an ECG but they didn't show anything. My doctor prescribed beta blockers, but I'm really worried about what's actually happening with me. Is my heart not healthy? Do I really need to take these meds forever? Are there any other tests I should consider? I'm just looking for some guidance here.
Experiencing palpitation, anxiety, and numbness in hand and leg sometimes can be due to various reasons. Since your doctor has prescribed beta blockers, it indicates that they suspect your symptoms may be related to heart issues such as arrhythmias or high blood pressure. Beta blockers help in controlling heart rate and reducing anxiety. If the Holter test and ECG did not show any abnormalities, it is a good sign that there may not be any serious underlying heart conditions. However, these symptoms can also be caused by other factors such as anxiety disorders, thyroid issues, or even vitamin deficiencies. If you are concerned about taking medications long-term, you can discuss with your doctor about alternative treatment options or lifestyle changes that may help manage your symptoms. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication use, as they are prescribed based on your specific condition. In addition to the tests you have already done, your doctor may recommend further tests such as a thyroid function test, vitamin B12 levels, or a stress test to rule out other possible causes of your symptoms. It is essential to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and response to treatment. Remember, every individual is different, and treatment plans may vary based on your specific health condition.
