I'm having some trouble with mild heart palpitations and anxiety, so my cardiologist put me on Telma 40 and propranolol 40 mg. The good news is my palpitations and angina are gone since starting propranolol, but now I'm experiencing some erection issues. I'm wondering, could I switch from propranolol to Nevivolol? Or would it be okay to take tadalafil along with the propranolol? Could you give me some advice on these two options?

- Instead of Propranolol 40 mg, you can use Nebivolol. The recommended dosage for Nebivolol is 5 mg to 10 mg once daily. It is also effective in managing heart palpitations and anxiety, with a lower risk of causing erectile dysfunction compared to Propranolol. 2. You can take Tadalafil with Propranolol, but it is important to consult with your cardiologist or healthcare provider before combining these medications. Tadalafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction, and the combination with Propranolol may help alleviate the erection problem you are experiencing. The usual starting dose of Tadalafil is 10 mg taken prior to anticipated sexual activity, with a maximum frequency of once per day.

View allI'm really concerned because my dad had an angioplasty a few days ago, and they put in a stent. Since then, he's been having a really bad dry cough at night. The doctor gave us some medicine, but it doesnt seem to be making any difference. I'm worried this might affect his stent or his heart. Could this cough be connected to the procedure or the medication? What should we do next?

I'm really worried because I've been having chest pain for the past week. I got an ECG done today, and it showed something about left axis deviation. I've attached the ECG results. Can you help me understand what this means and what I should do next?
Left axis deviation on ECG can be indicative of various underlying conditions. Given your symptoms of chest pain, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your symptoms. I recommend you start taking Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent any clot formation in the heart. Additionally, you should take Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help reduce the workload on your heart and control your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm worried about my father. He had angioplasty just yesterday, and now he's got this pain running from the middle of his leg down to his ankle. Is that something to be concerned about, or is it normal after angioplasty?
Pain from the mid-leg to the ankle after an angioplasty could be due to several factors, such as the site of catheter insertion (usually the femoral artery in the groin) or the use of a vascular closure device. While mild discomfort and bruising can be normal, significant pain should be evaluated to rule out complications like hematoma, arterial injury, or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Please consult your father's healthcare provider promptly to assess the cause of the pain and ensure appropriate management.
