I'm really concerned about the long-term effects of beta blockers for managing hypertension. I've heard they might raise blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Can you suggest which beta blocker is the safest and has the least side effects?

I'm a heart patient and had angiography done 15 years ago. Today I woke up with vomiting and then experienced loose motions. I'm also feeling really chilly. My blood sugar is at 275 and my blood pressure is reading 155 over 105. Should I be worried about these symptoms, and what should I do next?

I'm dealing with shortness of breath whenever I lift something heavy or climb stairs. A doctor mentioned heart valve replacement before. I'm curious about how serious this could be and what steps I might need to take. Could this really be related to the heart valve issue, or might there be something else going on? Would replacement be the only option?
Shortness of breath during physical activity can be a sign of heart valve problems. In your case, it may be necessary to consider a heart valve replacement surgery. One common medication prescribed for such conditions is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-100mg per day. However, the specific treatment plan should be discussed with your healthcare provider after a thorough evaluation of your condition.
