Question 2

I'm really curious and a bit concerned about something. Can taking the beta blocker metoprolol, especially the Met XL version, lead to higher blood triglyceride levels? If that's the case, is there another beta blocker that might be a better option?

Accepted Answer

Yes, metoprolol XL can potentially cause an increase in blood triglyceride levels as a side effect. Another beta blocker that may be a better option to consider is Nebivolol (brand name Bystolic) which is less likely to affect lipid levels compared to metoprolol XL. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment option for you.

Question 3

I've been dealing with this dull pain for about four months now, and I'm really starting to worry. I don't have any other symptoms like shortness of breath or anything, but I'm concerned it might be heart-related. Could this kind of pain without thos...

Accepted Answer

Dull pain lasting for 4 months can be concerning, especially if it is located in the chest area. While chest pain can be a symptom of heart problems, it is not always the case. Other conditions such as muscle strain, acid reflux, or anxiety can also cause chest pain. Since you do not have any other symptoms like shortness of breath, it is less likely to be related to the heart. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for temporary relief.
