Question 1

I've been on high blood pressure medication for the past year, taking Telma 20, and I added Prazopress XL 5 about two months ago. My blood pressure is finally under control now, so I'm wondering, is it possible for me to stop taking Prazopress? Or should I definitely talk to a doctor about this change?

Accepted Answer

no u have to continue with the medications for BP.. If u have any side-effects like bradycardia ,blurred vision , palpitations u can stop the medication.. U can take tab telma h (20+12.5) mg orally once daily in the morning..

Question 2

I'm having this issue with pain in my upper chest thats been going on for the last six days, and I'm also dealing with a blocked nose and a bit of a cough. I havent had any fever, but the first day, the pain was pretty intense and felt like a crushing sensation whenever I moved, with pressure in the upper chest area. My hand and shoulder muscles are hurting too, and there's some pain in my back just behind my chest along with prickly feelings every now and then. It's making it really hard for me to sleep. A couple of weeks ago, I had a cold with a fever and a cough but there was no chest pain then. I used to smoke for a few years but I quit smoking about a year ago. Could you help me figure out what's going on and suggest which specialist I should see?

Accepted Answer

consult a pulmonologist

Question 3

I've been noticing something a bit worrying lately  sometimes it feels like my heart just sinks for a brief moment, less than a minute, and then things feel normal again. I kind of ignored it at first, but it happened again today, and now I'm a bit concerned. This has been going on occasionally over the past 34 months, and I've counted around 56 times when this has happened. Do you think this could be a sign of a minor attack, or is it something else I should be looking into? What kind of tests would you recommend I get done?

Accepted Answer

cardiac markers and  ecg are advised..

I'm 30 and lately, I've been experiencing this weird sinking feeling in my chest, almost like a jump-sinking sensation. It just pops up randomly, any time of the day, and can last for a while. It's got me feeling uneasy, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone help me figure this out?

stess,alcohol and lack of sleep ,exercisecould be acute causes of jump in the heart rate ,rythm. Few investigations like ECG ,cardiac markers and echo if symptoms persist for more than 3 weeks is advised
