I'm experiencing shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my chest, and I've also noticed some pain in my calf muscles when I climb stairs. My heart starts beating really fast too. I've already had an echo stress test and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. What could be causing these symptoms? I'm really confused about what's going on.

I'm currently taking Inbloc 5mg twice a day since 2014 for my high BP and haven't been given an end date for it. I'm wondering if there's any way I can manage my high blood pressure without relying on medication like this forever. Also, I'm curious if I can switch to another medication like Nelovin Forte 5mg, C UDP, or Cilday 5mg instead of Inbloc. What are your thoughts?

yes C UDP can be used for hypertension. it is a calcium channel blocker

Ive been experiencing this weird sensation in my chest where it feels like its shaking. It seems to come and go, lasting anywhere from around 2 to 3 minutes, and then comes back again. What could this possibly be, and should I be worried about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations are sensations of a rapid, fluttering, or pounding heart. In some cases, they may be harmless, but it's important to get evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can try to reduce caffeine and stress in your daily routine. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you may consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help manage the palpitations.

I'm a bit concerned and looking for advice about stopping my Concor Cor 2.5mg medication. My doctor suggested I should stop taking it directly, but I'm worried if thats the right approach. Could you give me a second opinion on whether it's safe to quit Concor Cor 2.5mg permanently? My 2D Echo shows normal LV function.

No ,you cannot stop the medication suddenly since it may worsen the symptoms, physician opinion is advised..
