I'm a 67-year-old who's been taking Revelol XL 50, but my blood pressure numbers always seem to hang around 15090. I've decided to switch to Concor 5 in hopes of getting them down to 12080. Is this a good move, and could you explain what I might expect during this transition?

I'm currently taking Nexito Plus and Propranolol. I'm wondering if these medications could be affecting my ECG results? Also, I'm dealing with gastritis right now. Could that be related to or affecting my heart health?
The combination of Nexito Plus (Escitalopram, Clonazepam, and Nortriptyline) and Propranolol can potentially have an effect on your ECG due to their cardiac side effects. Propranolol, in particular, can cause changes in heart rate and rhythm which may be reflected in an ECG. It is important to monitor your heart health regularly while taking these medications. Additionally, since you are experiencing gastritis problems, it's important to note that Propranolol can exacerbate gastrointestinal issues. It would be advisable to discuss these concerns with your healthcare provider to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your medication regimen.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been experiencing chest pain again. A few months ago, I had a TMT and it was negative, and my echo was normal. I don't have a history of any major diseases and I dont smoke or drink alcohol. But today, the pain came back, and I've been having some breathlessness because of my asthma. Could the asthma be causing this chest pain or should I be concerned about something else?
Given that your TMT and echo were normal three months ago, and you have a history of asthma, your chest pain and breathlessness might be related to asthma exacerbation rather than a cardiac issue. Asthma can cause chest tightness and breathlessness, especially during physical activity. It is important to manage your asthma effectively with your prescribed medications and follow your asthma action plan. If the chest pain persists or worsens, consult your healthcare provider to rule out any other potential causes and ensure your asthma is well-controlled.
