I'm dealing with depression and recently had some heart tests done - my TMT came back negative, and both my ECG and echo were normal. However, my doctor prescribed me macsart 40 for blood pressure. I'm confused and a bit worried. Why would they prescribe BP medicine if my tests are normal? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm really worried about my dad. We live in Hyderabad, and he said he had a mild heart attack last night. He felt numbness on the left side of his body, chest pain, and had a tough time breathing until he took a pill, all of which lasted for about 30 seconds. He's diabetic, and just yesterday, his blood sugar was 160 before lunch and 255 after. Plus, he recently had gangrene, which led to his left leg's middle finger being amputated. Now, he's got a throat infection, and he's finding it hard to speak clearly. With all this going on, should we see a cardiologist and possibly get him admitted to the hospital, or is it okay to stick with the meds his previous cardiologist gave him?
It sounds like your father may have experienced a mild heart attack based on the symptoms you described. Given his medical history of diabetes, recent amputation due to gangrene, and current throat infection, it is important to seek immediate medical attention. I recommend consulting a cardiologist and getting him admitted to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, continue the medications prescribed by his previous cardiologist. It is crucial to address his heart health in light of these recent symptoms and medical conditions.

I'm traveling right now, and I'm a bit worried because my pulse rate is over 90. I've already taken Kipnor TR 40 and Etilaam 0.25. Is this normal for when you're active, or should I be concerned?
The normal pulse rate when you are active can vary depending on individual factors, but typically ranges from 100 to 170 beats per minute. Kipno tr 40 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. Etilaam 0.25 is a brand name for Etizolam, which is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders. Since your pulse rate is above 90 after taking these medications, it is important to monitor your heart rate closely. If your pulse rate remains elevated or if you experience any concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
