I'm really concerned about some symptoms I've been experiencing. I started taking Eliwel 10mg for nerve pain about 20 days ago, but suddenly I got rapid heartbeats and chest pain on October 1st with pain intensity around 710. When I went to the doctor, my heartbeat was going from 60s to 110. The doctor gave me Nebicard 5mg and suggested getting an ECG and echo. The ECG was abnormal but the echo was normal, and the doc said not to worry. But the chest pain lingered for 34 days, and I also had some shortness of breath. I've stopped taking Eliwel on my own, which helped a bit, but I still have some chest pain, maybe around a 410. Yesterday I saw a cardiologist who did a TMT test; that was normal too, but the ECG was still abnormal. I've attached my reports. Is there anything here I should be worried about?

Based on your symptoms and the abnormal ECG findings, it seems like you may have experienced some adverse effects from the Eliwel (Amitriptyline) medication. The rapid heart beat and chest pain could be related to this. Nebicard (Nebivolol) 5mg was prescribed to help with the rapid heart beat. Since you have already discontinued Eliwel and your symptoms have improved but not completely resolved, I would recommend discussing with your doctor about alternative medications for nerve pain. For your ongoing chest pain, you can consider taking a pain reliever like Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. It is important to follow up with your Cardiologist for further evaluation and management of the abnormal ECG findings. If the chest pain persists or worsens, do not hesitate to seek medical attention promptly.

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's had a stroke and a bypass in the past, and his heart rate usually hangs around 55 to 60. I've heard about Chymoral AP and Myoril for his lower back pain, but I'm concerned if it's safe for him to take because of his heart condition. Could you please guide me on this?
Chymoral AP and Myoril can be risky for your father due to his history of stroke and bypass surgery, as well as his low heart rate. Chymoral AP contains Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, and Paracetamol which can increase the risk of bleeding, especially in patients with a history of stroke. Myoril contains Thiocolchicoside which can cause muscle weakness and dizziness, potentially increasing the risk of falls in someone with a history of stroke. Given his low heart rate, both medications can further lower the heart rate and blood pressure, leading to complications. It is important to consult with his healthcare provider to find a safer alternative for his lower back pain.

I'm really concerned about my dad's health. Last year in July, he had angioplasty and the doctor put two stents in one artery and one stent in another. He's been following the doctor's diet and taking his meds regularly. Is there still a chance his blood vessels might get blocked again?
It is important for your father to continue taking his prescribed medications and follow the doctor's diet chart to reduce the risk of blockage in the blood vessels. To further prevent blockage, the following medications are commonly prescribed after angioplasty: 1. Antiplatelet agents such as Aspirin or Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots - Dosage as per doctor's prescription 2. Statins such as Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin to lower cholesterol levels - Dosage as per doctor's prescription 3. ACE inhibitors or ARBs to control blood pressure and improve heart function - Dosage as per doctor's prescription 4. Beta-blockers to reduce the heart's workload and lower blood pressure - Dosage as per doctor's prescription Regular follow-up appointments with the cardiologist are also important to monitor your father's heart health and make any necessary adjustments to his treatment plan.
