Question 1

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing, especially when I go up the stairs. It feels like I'm getting out of breath really quickly. Can you tell me what test I should get to figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

The test you may need is called Pulmonary Function Test (PFT). This test can help evaluate how well your lungs are working and identify any breathing problems. In the meantime, you can use a bronchodilator inhaler like Ventolin (albuterol) as needed for relief. The usual dosage is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for shortness of breath.

Question 2

I'm feeling really anxious about taking Lomaira, Losartan, and Amlodipine all at once. Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Taking Lomaira (phentermine) with Losartan and Amlodipine can increase the risk of side effects such as increased blood pressure, heart rate, and potential for heart problems. It is important to monitor for symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, and swelling. It is recommended to avoid this combination unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider. If you are experiencing weight issues, you can discuss alternative weight management options with your doctor.

Question 3

I've been taking Concor Cor 2.5mg for my blood pressure, but it makes my pulse drop below 60. I've started taking half a tablet because of that. Is it okay to switch to Concor Cor 1.25mg instead of splitting the 2.5mg pill?

I'm really worried about my mom. Her heart starts beating really fast at night and I'm not sure what to do. It's kind of freaking me out. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

Palpitations can be caused by various factors. In this case, it is important to first consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. However, to help alleviate the symptoms, you can consider giving your mother a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for palpitations is around 25-50mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Additionally, it is important to ensure your mother is staying hydrated, managing stress levels, and getting adequate rest.
