Question 1

I'm currently taking Concor Cor 2.5 mg for my palpitations, and I've been on it for about two months now. I'm thinking about stopping it, but I'm not sure if I can just stop taking it all of a sudden or if there's something specific I need to do. Can I just stop taking it, or is there a specific process I should follow?

Question 2

I've just got my test results and it says my triglycerides are at 186 mgdL. I'm a bit worried about whether this is within the normal range or not. Also, the report shows my LDL is 99.80. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean for my health?

Accepted Answer

based on your triglyceride level of 186 mgdl, it is considered borderline high. The normal range for triglycerides is typically less than 150 mgdl. As for your LDL level of 99.80, it is within the optimal range. To help lower your triglyceride levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 10mg once daily. It is important to also follow a healthy diet and lifestyle to manage your lipid levels effectively.

Question 3

I've noticed my hematocrit level is at 51.1, and I'm starting to worry. My hemoglobin is 17.1 and RBC count is 5.89. Lately, I've been experiencing shortness of breath and constant dizziness. Should I be concerned about these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

A hematocrit level of 51.1% is slightly above the normal range (40.7-50.3% for males, 36.1-44.3% for females), indicating potential polycythemia, a condition characterized by excessive red blood cell production; combined with your high hemoglobin (17.1 gdL) and RBC count (5.89 millionL), this may explain your symptoms of shortness of breath and dizziness; consult a md medicine for further evaluation and potential treatment to reduce your risk of blood clots and other complications.

Question 4

I've been taking Pentids 400 regularly for my cardiovascular issues, but now I can't seem to find it at my local pharmacy. Is there any alternative medication I could use instead?

Accepted Answer

Pentids 400 is not available, you can consider using the alternative medicine Amoxicillin 500mg. It belongs to the same class of antibiotics as Pentids and can be used to treat similar cardiovascular issues. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

Question 6

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 re...

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.
