I'm dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety, and my pulse rate is pretty much always over 90. My doctor has me on Ciplar LA 40 once a day for a few months. I've read that stopping this medication can cause heart attacks and other scary stuff. Is it really safe for me to be on this? I'm also taking Ecospirin 75 at night to help with blood flow. What should I do?

While Propranolol (Ciplar LA) and Aspirin are generally safe when prescribed together, it's crucial to follow your doctors recommendations for proper management. If you're ever in doubt or feel uncomfortable about the medication, dont hesitate to have a thorough discussion with your healthcare provider to address your concerns and explore options.

View allI've been tracking my pulse rate and it usually falls between 44 to 60 beats per minute. Sometimes I experience a bit of chest pain but my doctor mentioned it's just gas. My blood pressure ranges between 120 to 140 over 80 to 90. Should I be worried about these pulse rates or the chest pain?
Your pulse rate of 44 to 60 beats per minute is considered bradycardia, which is a heart rate that is slower than normal. Since you are also experiencing chest pain, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take Aspirin 81mg once a day to prevent any clot formation in the heart. Also, you can take Metoprolol 25mg once a day to help regulate your heart rate. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm wondering if taking 40 mg of atorvastatin for just 5 days is enough to lower triglycerides and VLDL levels? Is it safe to then stop the medication abruptly after such a short time? I'm just worried about the correct dosage and whether this approach is effective or if it might cause any issues.
take statins for 2 to 3 months minimum to get a good response. 5 days medicine will not give desirable benefits.

Hey doc, I've been dealing with this sharp chest pain whenever I sneeze or have a really hard cough, and sometimes it happens if I quickly flex my chest muscles during a workout. It's been almost a year now and I notice a slight pain if I press hard on the sore spot. I'm starting to get a bit worried about what's going on. Any ideas?
You may be experiencing costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) as directed on the package. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may provide some relief. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
