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.

View allI have dental caries in 89 teeth and need extractions but I'm on Clopilet A 75 for my CAD with a stent. My dentist says to stop antiplatelet meds for a week before surgery but I'm not sure if it's safe. I take Metrogyl and Augmentin occasionally for infections and mostly eat soft foods. Can I really pause my antiplatelet meds for that long without risking my heart?
It's understandable to be concerned about stopping your antiplatelet medication. While some dentists recommend pausing antiplatelet drugs before dental extractions, it's generally not considered necessary, especially for procedures like extractions that have a low risk of bleeding. Dental extractions can be performed safely without stopping these medications as long as appropriate local hemostatic measures are taken.

I'm a bit worried because my doctor said it's palpitation and my ECG came back normal. At the time, my heart rate was around 100 bpm, and they prescribed me medicine for 10 days. Now it's the fourth day, and I'm noticing my heart rate is sometimes above 100 or in the 90s, but when I wake up, it's around 80 or 78, and at night it's between 67 and 72 when I'm resting. How long do you think it'll take for my heart rate to stabilize back to normal? It's above 90 and sometimes even over 100 in the afternoon before it calms down.
The medication prescribed by your doctor is likely a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for heart palpitations is around 25-50mg twice daily. It may take a few weeks for the medication to fully regulate your heart rate. It is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed and follow up with your doctor for any concerns or adjustments to the treatment plan.

I'm wondering if my consistently high heart rate, which usually ranges between 97 and 116, could be linked to my high triglycerides. Could high cholesterol be a reason for this elevated heart rate? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might be going on with my heart health.
yes.
