A heart rate of 58 bpm while sleeping, 72-75 bpm upon waking, and 90 bpm when moving is within normal ranges. - Your blood pressure readings of 12586 and 12789 are also within normal limits. - There is no need to be anxious about these values as they fall within the normal range for heart rate and blood pressure. - However, if you have persistent concerns or symptoms, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.

Accepted Answer

Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats faster than normal. Since you are experiencing swelling on your fingers after taking propranolol, it is important to consult your doctor for a possible alternative medication. In terms of investigations, you may consider getting an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to monitor your heart's electrical activity and rule out any other underlying heart conditions. Additionally, a blood test to check electrolyte levels and thyroid function may be recommended. It is important to discuss these options with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

Question 5

I'm a 37-year-old guy and I've been dealing with anxiety for a few years now, which makes my hands sweat and sometimes I get chest pains that last for seconds or minutes. I've been on Gudpress AM 50 for the past six months, but it makes my face feel ...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you are experiencing side effects from Gudpress AM 50 (which contains Telmisartan and Amlodipine) such as tightness on your face. Since you are also dealing with anxiety symptoms and high blood pressure, you can consider switching to a different medication for your blood pressure. I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting a different medication such as Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) at a suitable dosage to help manage your blood pressure without causing unwanted side effects. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that can be effective in treating high blood pressure and has a lower risk of causing facial tightness compared to Amlodipine. Remember to consult with your doctor for a proper evaluation and prescription adjustment based on your individual health needs.
