Question 1

I've been dealing with high bp since 2017 and have been taking medscinod and nebicard. Everything was stable until I gained around 10kgs after getting married, and now my bp is often spiking to 140150 and 9095. I've started incorporating some physical activity and diet control into my routine. Do you think I should consider changing my medications along with these lifestyle changes?

Accepted Answer

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

I'm really worried about my mom. She had CABG surgery about four months ago, and ever since, she's been dealing with a dry cough. I recently had her get an X-ray, and luckily, it showed everything's normal. But I'm still concerned. Is this something we should be worried about? Could it be related to her surgery or is it something else entirely?

Accepted Answer

Since your mother's X-ray showed everything is normal, it is less likely to be a serious issue. To help alleviate the dry cough, you can give her a cough suppressant like Delsym (dextromethorphan) 30mg every 6 hours as needed. Additionally, she can try using a humidifier at home to keep the air moist. If the dry cough persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult with her cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm worried because I've noticed that my heartbeat seems irregular over the past couple of days. It's almost like my heart has these hiccups that occur about 57 times a day. While I'm not experiencing any pain, nausea, or discomfort, it just feels really strange to have this abnormal beat in between my normal heartbeats. What could be going on?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations are sensations that feel like your heart is pounding or racing. In your case, it seems like you are experiencing occasional irregular heartbeats. One common cause of palpitations is stress or anxiety. However, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take **Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor)** 25mg once daily. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that can help regulate your heart rate and rhythm. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and monitoring. If you experience any worsening symptoms or new symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting, seek immediate medical attention.

I'm a bit worried because my heart rate is up at 156 per minute and my blood pressure is reading 12477. Is this something I should be concerned about? What's the reason this could be happening, and what might come of it?

156 is definitely abnormal visit Cardiologist for appropriate management
