Question 1

I'm a bit concerned about stopping my beta blockers because I've heard you can't just abruptly stop them. My physician suggested that my blood pressure and heart rate spikes might be linked to anxiety and recommended Anxit 0.25 mg for when my pulse gets fast. He also mentioned that the beta blockers might be causing my ongoing dry cough and advised me to quit them. But, shouldn't there be some kind of substitute for my blood pressure? I'm worried about what might happen if I just stop without any alternative. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this situation?

Accepted Answer

to continue all the medications..

Question 2

I've been having some weird symptoms lately. A few days ago, I woke up with this chest pain and it kinda hurt when I breathed. My inhaler helped a bit, but then yesterday, my blood pressure reading at the dentist was 15074, which is way higher than my usual 120-127 for the systolic part. I'm trying to figure out if I should just make an appointment with my GP or if it's serious enough to hit up urgent care or the ER. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

sometimes blood pressure increases because of pain also. repeat your blood pressure,and monitor it

Question 3

Im 28 and had a heart attack last year  it was scary. I had an angioplasty with one stent and I'm on medications like clopitab, ecosprin, and prolomettonact now. My doctor recently said I'm recovering well and to just make some lifestyle changes, which I've been doing for a year  I take 30-minute walks daily and have quit chewing tobacco.

Heres what's been on my mind: Should I get married? Should I be worried about that? I was too embarrassed to ask my doctor about it, but it's been weighing on me a lot. I mean, can I lead a normal married life without putting myself at risk? Id really appreciate your advice.

Accepted Answer

It is positive that you are following lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and quitting tobacco chewing, which are beneficial for your heart health.

Overall, with proper management of your heart condition, adherence to medications, and a healthy lifestyle, it is possible to lead a fulfilling life, including marriage.

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?
