Based on your symptoms and heart rate response to physical activity, it is important to rule out any underlying heart condition. You may be experiencing symptoms of angina or heart failure. I recommend you start taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (50mg) to help lower your heart rate and reduce chest pain. Additionally, you should also take a blood thinner like Aspirin (75mg) to prevent blood clots. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

Can I take Dilzem CD 120 about 40 minutes after Rabsec PPI? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

It is generally safe to take Dilzem CD 120 after 40 minutes of Rabsec (PPI). However, it is important to note that there may be a potential interaction between these two medications. Dilzem CD 120 is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain, while Rabsec (PPI) is a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce stomach acid. Some potential side effects of taking these medications together may include an increased risk of low blood pressure, slow heart rate, and potential drug interactions. It is always best to consult with your healthcare provider before taking these medications together to ensure safety and effectiveness.
