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 feeling really worried because my heart pumping seems weak, yet my heart rate is 72 bpm. I also have this severe mitral valve regurgitation. Is something like this normal, or should I be concerned?
A heart rate of 72bpm is within the normal range. However, with severe mitral valve regurgitation and weak heart pumping, it is important to manage your condition. You can take medications like Carvedilol 6.25mg twice daily to help improve heart function and Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to control heart rate. Additionally, you may benefit from medications like Furosemide 40mg once daily to reduce fluid buildup. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is essential for monitoring and adjusting your treatment plan.

I'm really worried about the possibility of having plaque in my arteries or if my coronary artery might be narrowing. Could you please tell me what tests I should consider to find this out? I just want to make sure I'm covering all the bases and keeping my heart healthy.
The tests to detect plaque in arteries or narrowing of coronary arteries include: 1. Coronary Angiography: This test involves injecting a contrast dye into the coronary arteries and taking X-ray images to visualize any blockages or narrowing. 2. CT Coronary Angiography: This non-invasive test uses a CT scanner to create detailed images of the heart and blood vessels to detect any plaque buildup. 3. Stress Test: This test measures the heart's response to physical activity or medication to detect any reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, which can indicate narrowing of the coronary arteries. 4. Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS): This test uses sound waves to create detailed images of the inside of the coronary arteries to detect any plaque buildup. 5. Cardiac Catheterization: This invasive test involves inserting a catheter into the coronary arteries to measure blood flow and detect any blockages or narrowing. These tests can help diagnose plaque buildup or narrowing of the coronary arteries.
