I'm a bit concerned because my doctor has put me on Lipitas 10 (Rosuvastatin) to take at night, along with Sartel LN (Telmisartan 40) and Cilnidipine. I stumbled across some info that mentioned a serious drug interaction between Cilnidipine and Lipitas. Is that something I should be worried about?

Prolonged use of clinidipine 10 mg can cause hypotension ,that is a serious side effect. whereas telma causes sinus congestion,tachycardia,changes in vision, large ives and fainting etc.. Both telma and clinidepine are recommended for the control of BP.,You can continue taking the medications..

View allI've recently turned 23, and I've been monitoring my blood pressure at home with an Omron monitor I got last month. My readings always seem a bit high, with systolic between 125-135 and diastolic between 85-95. My heart rate is hanging out between 95-110, even when I'm just resting. I've been feeling some burning and pressure on my chest with occasional pain. It's not severe, but it happens. I had an ECG and Echo last year, and the doctor said they were normal, but I'm still concerned. Should I be worried about these numbers and symptoms? Do you think I should consult with a doctor?
It's important to address your elevated blood pressure and resting heart rate. Based on your symptoms and readings, it would be advisable to start medication to manage your blood pressure. I recommend starting with a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, you can take Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is appropriate for you. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure and heart rate is also essential.

I'm really worried about my heart rate. I was prescribed Propranolol 20 MG for anxiety and palpitations by my cardiologist, but when I started feeling uncomfortable with light chest pain, I went to another cardiologist who told me to stop taking it. So I did, and I felt normal for a day, but then my heart rate jumped from 85 sitting to 145 standing the next day. I'm scared to go to the hospital because my heart rate might increase even more. If it's already at 140 just standing, I can't imagine how high it would go while working. Is this something very serious? Also, my blood pressure at night was 130 after eating and 127 before eating while I was on the medication, but it hardly ever went over 120 before all this. If just two days of using Propranolol caused these withdrawal effects, how am I supposed to handle this medication for the long term? I'm living in constant fear of dying. Can you help?
It sounds like you are experiencing significant anxiety and palpitations along with withdrawal effects from Propranolol. The sudden increase in heart rate upon standing is concerning and may indicate a condition called orthostatic intolerance. This needs to be evaluated further by a healthcare professional. To address your symptoms, you can try the following: - Discontinue Propranolol under medical supervision to avoid withdrawal effects - Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation to help with anxiety - Stay well-hydrated and maintain a healthy diet - Avoid sudden changes in posture to prevent orthostatic intolerance In the meantime, it is important to consult with a cardiologist or a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan. They may consider alternative medications or therapies to help with your symptoms. Remember, sudden changes in heart rate and chest discomfort should not be ignored. Take care.

Ive been feeling really tired lately, and all my tests came back normal except for my lipid profile. Turns out my cholesterol level is really low. My LDL cholesterol is at 30, the LDLHDL ratio is 0.61, and the cholesterolHDL ratio is 1.76. Should I be worried about this? It's really stressing me out.
Having a low cholesterol level, especially low LDL cholesterol level, is generally considered beneficial for heart health. Your LDLHDL ratio and cholesterolHDL ratio are also within normal ranges, which is a good sign. However, if you are feeling tired and stressed, it's important to address those symptoms. To help with your fatigue and stress, you can consider taking a multivitamin supplement like Centrum to ensure you are getting all the essential nutrients. Additionally, you can try a natural supplement like Rhodiola Rosea to help with stress management. Make sure to get enough rest, eat a balanced diet, and stay hydrated. If your symptoms persist, consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
