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'm looking at my cholesterol numbers and I'm a bit worried. My total cholesterol is 226.3 mgdL, LDL is 145.7 mgdL, and triglycerides are 190.5 mgdL. Is this something I should be really concerned about? What does this mean for my health?
Cholesterol total of 226.3mgdl, LDL cholesterol of 145.7mgdl, and triglycerides of 190.5mgdl indicate slightly elevated levels, which may increase the risk of heart disease. To help lower these levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower LDL cholesterol and Fenofibrate 145mg once daily to lower triglycerides. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management can also be beneficial.

I'm a bit confused and worried right now. My ECG report showed 206uV in the aVR lead with some ST elevation, but both the echostress test and MRI came back normal. The doctor told me that everything's fine, but I'm still concerned. Could you help me understand why there might be an elevation in the ECG, even when other tests seem normal?
"Based on the information provided, it seems like you have ST elevation in AVR on your ECG report, but your echo, stress test, and MRI results are normal. If your doctor has reassured you that you are fine, you may not need any specific treatment at the moment. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for regular check-ups and monitoring. If you experience any new symptoms or concerns, please consult your doctor immediately."

I'm 27 and dealing with a sugar problem, for which I'm taking Glimepiride and Metformin 11000sr tablets, two daily. Lately, I've noticed my blood pressure is 14090, and my pulse is around 92. I've also been experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest, so I decided to check my ECG. The results showed a sinus rhythm with a normal P axis and a ventricular rate between 50 and 99. There was also some ST elevation, which I've read could be a normal early repolarization pattern, but I'm still worried. The diagnostics mentioned "age 55" even though I'm only 27. Could this be a mistake, or is it something I need to be concerned about? I would appreciate any insight or advice you could give me.
I am sorry to hear about your health concerns. It seems like you are experiencing some cardiac symptoms along with your existing medical conditions. Based on the information you provided, you are currently taking Glimipride and Metformin for your sugar problem. Since you have mentioned that you are experiencing chest pain and have abnormal ECG findings, it is important to address your elevated blood pressure as well. I would recommend that you consult with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and management. In the meantime, to help manage your blood pressure, you can consider taking Amlodipine 5mg once daily. This medication can help lower your blood pressure and reduce the strain on your heart. Additionally, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, and engaging in regular physical activity. Please continue to monitor your symptoms closely and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance and management.
