I'm experiencing some left arm pain and dizziness lately, and I also have GERD issues. From time to time, I get this jaw pain too. Could this be something related to my heart? I had a Holter test done back in February and everything seemed normal, but I'm still a bit worried. Would really appreciate your insight on this.

Can my dad take Metloc and Telmisartan at the same time? I'm worried because he forgot to tell the doctor that he's already taking Telmisartan. Should I be concerned about any interactions or side effects from combining these medications?
Metoprolol is a beta-blocker and Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker. They can be safely taken together to manage high blood pressure. The usual dosage of Metoprolol is 25-100mg twice daily, and Telmisartan is typically taken at a dosage of 40-80mg once daily.

I'm experiencing this really rapid heart rate every time I'm about to sleep. I have a 10-day-old infant who wakes up for feedings at night, and when I get up suddenly, my heart races like crazy. I also feel this burning sensation and shortness of breath, almost like I'm missing a heartbeat. There's a bit of pain too. When I left the hospital, my blood pressure was high at 140100, but now it's around 13080 without any BP medication. I'm really worried if it's something serious with my heart or just palpitations. Could this be something I should be concerned about?
Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations due to stress and anxiety, especially with the added stress of taking care of a newborn. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking propranolol 10mg twice daily to help with the rapid heart rate and palpitations. Additionally, you can consider taking lorazepam 0.5mg at bedtime to help with anxiety and improve sleep quality. It's important to practice relaxation techniques and ensure you are getting enough rest to support your overall heart health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
