I'm a bit concerned about stopping my beta blockers because I've heard you can't just abruptly stop them. My physician suggested that my blood pressure and heart rate spikes might be linked to anxiety and recommended Anxit 0.25 mg for when my pulse gets fast. He also mentioned that the beta blockers might be causing my ongoing dry cough and advised me to quit them. But, shouldn't there be some kind of substitute for my blood pressure? I'm worried about what might happen if I just stop without any alternative. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this situation?

I've just turned 17, and I'm trying to understand my lvef count, which is at 75. Is this something normal for someone my age? Any insights you could share would be really helpful because I'm a bit concerned.

An ejection fraction (EF) of 75% is considered normal and indicates good heart function. There is no need to worry about this result. Just continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet.

Hey, my mom's 60 and she's been feeling this heaviness in her chest. They prescribed her Cidmus 50. I'm really curious about why this specific medication is used and what condition it's usually meant to treat?

Cidmus 50 is given to treat angina, which is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough blood. Cidmus 50 contains the active ingredient Atenolol, which helps to reduce the workload on the heart and decrease its oxygen demand. The usual dosage of Cidmus 50 for angina is 50-100mg once daily.

Hey Doc, I recently went through some medical tests and discovered that my homocysteine levels are really high. I'm currently on zincovit, but I'm wondering if I should switch to a stronger multivitamin. Can you recommend one that might help lower my homocysteine levels? Appreciate your guidance.

Tab neurobion-forte is advised to the patient.
