View allI've been told by my doctor that I need a CT angiography, but because of my sinus tachycardia, he mentioned it might be hard to do. I'm already taking beta-blockers and sedatives, but my heart rate is still not under control at the doctor's office. I'm worried about how I can manage my heart rate so I can get the CT angio done. What should I do?
To manage your heart rate for CT angiography despite sinus tachycardia, you can consider using a calcium channel blocker such as Diltiazem. The recommended dosage for Diltiazem in this case would be 120-360 mg per day. This medication can help in controlling your heart rate and making it feasible to undergo the CT angiography procedure. Additionally, you may also benefit from the use of a medication like Atenolol, a beta blocker, at a dosage of 25-100 mg per day to further help in controlling your heart rate during the procedure. It is important to follow your doctor's guidance and dosage instructions carefully.

I'm really worried because I've been having chest pain for the last week. I took OMEE D on my own for only a day. Could you tell me the right dosage for OMEE D? I used to drink two lemon juices every day. Is that what's causing my chest pain?
omee d is 20 mg, reduce consumption of lemon juice

My dad's pulse oximeter reading is 97 and his pulse rate is at 110. Is the pulse rate considered normal? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate some advice.
a pulse rate of 110 beats per minute is slightly elevated but can still be considered normal, especially if your father is not experiencing any other symptoms. However, it would be best to monitor his pulse rate regularly and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns. As for the pulse oximeter reading of 97%, this indicates that his blood oxygen saturation level is within the normal range. There is generally no need to worry about this reading. If your father continues to have a pulse rate of 110 or if you notice any other concerning symptoms, please consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
