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.

View allI'm a bit concerned about some symptoms I've been experiencing. My heart sometimes feels like it's pounding even when I'm just standing. There are times when I can feel my radial artery and it seems like my heartbeat pauses and then starts again. I had an ECG done earlier, and it showed something like an incomplete RBBB with ST and T changes. I even occasionally feel a pulse in my back. Could this be something serious? Should I be worried about these results?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to an irregular heartbeat. Based on your description and ECG findings of incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) with ST and T changes, you may benefit from a medication called Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) to help regulate your heart rate and rhythm. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25-50mg twice daily, but the dosage may vary depending on your specific condition and response to the medication. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 68 and the doctors said he has an enlarged heart. His heart rate is just 20 right now, and he had bypass surgery 4 years ago. There haven't been any problems recently, but after an echo test, they noticed his heart has gotten bigger. What should we do next?
Enlarged heart, also known as cardiomegaly, can be a serious condition, especially in individuals with a history of heart surgery like your father. A heart rate of 20 beats per minute is extremely low and can be life-threatening. It is important to seek immediate medical attention in such cases. In this situation, your father may need a pacemaker to regulate his heart rate and prevent complications. Additionally, medications such as Metoprolol or Carvedilol can be prescribed to help manage his heart condition and prevent further enlargement of the heart. The dosage will depend on his specific health status and needs, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
