I'm a bit concerned about a recent cardiologist appointment where I was suspected of having an ASD. I'm already taking some home remedies like apple cider vinegar and cinnamon. I've heard about another Ayurvedic medicine called Terminalia Arjuna that's quite common in the market. I'm curious if it's safe to take that while I'm still consulting with an allopathic cardiologist. Would it be okay to try?

Terminalia Arjuna is an Ayurvedic medicine commonly used for heart health. While it may have some benefits, it is important to consult with your cardialogist before adding any new medication to your regimen. They will be able to advise you on the safety and potential interactions of Terminalia Arjuna with your current allopathic treatment.

I'm traveling right now, and I'm a bit worried because my pulse rate is over 90. I've already taken Kipnor TR 40 and Etilaam 0.25. Is this normal for when you're active, or should I be concerned?

The normal pulse rate when you are active can vary depending on individual factors, but typically ranges from 100 to 170 beats per minute. Kipno tr 40 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. Etilaam 0.25 is a brand name for Etizolam, which is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders. Since your pulse rate is above 90 after taking these medications, it is important to monitor your heart rate closely. If your pulse rate remains elevated or if you experience any concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
