I'm really concerned about my 75-year-old mother-in-law who has a pacemaker and had to stop using her hearing aid. Her cardiologist mentioned that the electromagnetic signals could mess with the pacemaker. I'm wondering if it's possible for her to use both if we keep the hearing aid battery more than 6 inches away from the pacemaker. If so, what kind of hearing aid would you recommend in this situation? Would love your advice on this.

View allI was recently prescribed concor cor 2.5 for my blood pressure, which is 13090, and I have a heart rate of 113. Since I'm always on the go and sometimes end up skipping breakfast, I'm wondering if it's okay to take this medication on an empty stomach. Is that safe, or should I make sure to eat something first?
Concor Cor 2.5 is a brand name for Bisoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. It is generally recommended to take Bisoprolol with food to help with absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset. If you often skip breakfast, you can take your dose with a light snack or a small meal to minimize any potential stomach discomfort. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor.

I'm 25 and just got my 2D echo mvp report. It says mvp grade I trivial MR and normal LV function. Should I be concerned about anything here? What exactly does this mean for my heart health, and do I need to take any action or follow-ups?
Your 2D echo report shows Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) with trivial Mitral Regurgitation (MR) and normal Left Ventricular (LV) function. Since you are 25 years old, it is important to monitor this condition regularly. You can take Tab Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help manage symptoms and prevent complications associated with MVP.
