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've been taking Concor Cor 2.5mg for my blood pressure, but it makes my pulse drop below 60. I've started taking half a tablet because of that. Is it okay to switch to Concor Cor 1.25mg instead of splitting the 2.5mg pill?

I'm curious and a bit worried because I'm experiencing pain right in the middle of my chest, not in the ribs or on one side. It's just between my chest and it's been bothering me. What could be causing this kind of pain?

Pain in the center of the chest can be due to several factors, including acid reflux, muscle strain, or even stress. It's important to monitor if the pain is associated with other symptoms like shortness of breath or dizziness. If it persists or worsens, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation.

I'm having trouble finding the medicine Olmesar 3D as per the prescription I received. The composition seems similar to Tri Olmesar 20 that I have. Can I safely take Tri Olmesar 20 instead, or should I continue searching for the exact medication? I'm a bit concerned about switching without guidance.

Yes you can take it no problem.
