I'm a bit puzzled because my ECG is coming back normal, but I'm still feeling pain in my left arm and shoulder. Last Tuesday, my blood pressure was at 160, and now it's around 11064. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm a bit confused about my medication change. My doctor used to prescribe Concor AM 2.5mg, but now they've switched me to Concor COR 2.5mg. Can you explain the difference between the two? I'm curious if there's a big change or anything I should be concerned about.
Concor AM 2.5mg is a combination medication containing bisoprolol (a beta-blocker) and amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker), while Concor COR 2.5mg contains only bisoprolol. The main difference is that Concor AM helps control blood pressure through two different mechanisms because of its two active ingredients, while Concor COR works through just one mechanism (beta-blocking). However, since this involves your prescribed medication, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist about why they made this change, as they know your specific medical situation and can explain their reasoning for modifying your prescription.

I've been feeling my heartbeat in my stomach lately and it's really starting to worry me. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this?
This sensation is known as pulsatile tinnitus and can be caused by various factors such as increased blood flow near the abdomen. I recommend you to consult with a doctor for further evaluation. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for any discomfort.

Hey, I've been tracking my heart rate with my Apple Watch, and I'm feeling a bit concerned. I've noticed that my monthly average heart rate is usually between 42 to 126 bpm, and my resting heart rate varies from 51 to 61 BPM. When I'm walking, it averages around 65 to 107 BPM. Typically, I exercise in the evenings, and my heart rate can go above 117, with an average of 80 to 85. But here's the thingthat's got me worriedthis morning while I was just sitting and reading at the office, my watch showed a heart rate of 43 BPM. Should I be concerned about this low reading?
Having a resting heart rate between 51-61 BPM, especially if you are physically fit, can be normal. A heart rate of 43 BPM while sitting and reading might be lower than usual but not necessarily alarming if you are asymptomatic and otherwise healthy. Your exercise heart rates and walking averages seem within normal ranges. However, since your heart rate can dip quite low, it would be a good idea to discuss these readings with your healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues like bradycardia or other cardiac conditions. They might suggest monitoring your heart rate more closely or performing additional tests if necessary.
