I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. It was moderately high a month ago, and now I'm taking Natrilix, 1.5 mg Indapamide. Is it safe for me to have a can of beer every six months, or should I be concerned? I came across some stuff online that's got me scared, and my doctor is currently out of the country.

I'm dealing with this chest pain that's right in the middle of my chest, and its been going on for the last two months. Sometimes its regular, sometimes its not. It gets really painful when I bend to pick something up from the ground, and the pain even shoots to my back. Can you help me out? What might be causing this?

Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any underlying heart condition. However, considering the pain worsening with movement, it could be musculoskeletal in nature. You can try taking Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel like Diclofenac (Voltaren) gel on the affected area. It is also advisable to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm just wondering, after having an angiogram and getting a 3.2 stent placed, how long will I need to be on all these meds? I'm currently taking BRILINTA 90mg, ECOSPRIN 75mg, ALDACTONE 25mg, CARDACE 2.5mg, LASIX 40mg, IVABRAD 5mg, and ATOPLIP 80mg. It's a bit overwhelming and I'd like to know more about the typical duration for taking them.

few medicines like ecospirin ,cardace are for lifetime. kindly consult your cardiologist for your further medication list
