I'm really worried because I've heard that heart attack symptoms in women can be different from what men experience. Can you explain what signs I should be looking out for? And how can I tell if chest pain is from a heart attack or just something else? Its been on my mind lately, and I'd love some clarity.

I've been dealing with anxiety and blood pressure issues and was initially on betacap tr40. My doctor switched me over to telma 20, but I started experiencing palpitations. So I saw another doctor who changed my medication to nebicard 2.5, but I'm still having those palpitations. Now, my psychiatrist is suggesting I take petril beta at night. Is it okay if I take nebicard 2.5 in the morning and petril beta at night? I'm a bit concerned and just want to make sure it's safe.

u have to take petril beta at night only.

I'm really worried about my mom. She had bypass surgery back in September 2022, and every now and then she gets this angina-like pain near the stitches in her chest. It's really unsettling. Plus, she's dealing with type 2 diabetes and thyroid issues too. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what we should do about it?

It is important to manage angina pain effectively, especially after bypass surgery. I recommend she takes Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain. The dosage is usually 0.3 to 0.4 mg every 5 minutes for up to three doses. Additionally, she can take Aspirin to help reduce the risk of blood clots and relieve chest pain. The usual dosage is 81mg to 325mg once daily. Since she is diabetic, it's crucial to control her blood sugar levels. She can take Metformin to help manage her diabetes. The usual starting dose is 500mg or 850mg once daily with meals. For her thyroid condition, she can continue taking Levothyroxine to regulate her thyroid hormone levels. The dosage will depend on her TSH levels as determined by her doctor.
