Question 1

I'm taking Navicard 5 mg regularly, as prescribed by my doctor. But recently, I've been having some mild chest pain, so I saw a cardiologist who prescribed Angizem CD 90 for my morning dose. He didnt mention anything about the Navicard though. Now I'm wondering, should I be taking both medications, or just one of them?

Question 2

I'm managing my diabetes pretty well, but I've been taking Stresnil for sleep issues. I started with 0.25mg, which worked okayI'd get about 5 hours of sleep. Because the 0.25mg wasn't available recently, I've switched to 0.5mg for the last 10 days. N...

"Due to non availability of Stresnil 0.25, you have switched to Stresnil 0.5 and experiencing sleep disturbances and light fainting sensations in the morning. Your blood pressure is elevated at 16090 mmHg. Based on your symptoms and history, I recommend the following: - Switch back to Stresnil 0.25 if possible, as it was providing better sleep quality. - In the meantime, you can try taking a lower dose of Stresnil 0.5, such as half a tablet, to see if it improves your sleep without causing fainting sensations. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and consider consulting a cardiologist to further evaluate the elevated BP. - Based on the attached ECG report, there are no significant abnormalities noted. - If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and management."

Ezetimibe (brand name Zetia) can be helpful in lowering triglyceride levels. You can take Ezetimibe 10 mg once daily to help reduce your triglyceride levels.

Accepted Answer

Given your age and medical history, it may not be a cause for immediate concern, especially if your ECG was normal and your echo showed normal findings with reduced diastolic compliance. To address your worries about your heart rate, it would be advisable to consult with your doctor to discuss the possibility of adjusting your medication dosage. In the meantime, continue monitoring your heart rate regularly and report any significant changes or symptoms to your healthcare provider. If you continue to experience concerns about your heart rate, your doctor may consider adjusting your metoprolol dosage or exploring other treatment options. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations based on your individual health status. Take care and stay healthy.

Question 6

I'm really worried about what's happening with my health. So, I had a brain stroke about 2 months ago, and my doctor recommended getting an Echo cardiogram. The test showed something called "Reduced diastolic compliance". I'm not sure what this means...

Accepted Answer

This means that the heart is having difficulty relaxing and filling with blood during the resting phase of the cardiac cycle. This condition can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention. To improve diastolic compliance, the doctor may prescribe medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril at a dosage of 10-20mg daily. Additionally, Beta-blockers like Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-50mg daily may also be recommended. It is important to follow up with the doctor regularly to monitor and manage this condition.
