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 a bit worried because I woke up this morning with my heart racing and ended up going to the ER. They told me I have PSVT and PVC. It felt like my heart stopped and then started again, but they said my echo was normal. Are these arrhythmias something I should be concerned about?

PSVT and PVC can be concerning but are usually not life-threatening. However, it is important to manage them to prevent complications. For PSVT, medications like Verapamil or Metoprolol can be prescribed to control heart rate during episodes. For PVC, if symptoms are bothersome, medications like Propranolol can be used to reduce their frequency. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm really worried about my grandma. She had a heart attack last week and she's still being treated. Do you think it's absolutely necessary for her to have angioplasty?

I'm trying to figure out the best time to take my blood pressure medicine. Is it better in the morning or evening? I'm currently on Amlip 5. Would love your advice on this.
