I've been experiencing this weird, sharp or cramping pain on the right side of my chest whenever I walk for a while, but it stops immediately after I stop walking. I've already gotten a chest X-ray and a sonography, and both came back normal. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

View allI'm a bit concerned about stopping my beta blockers because I've heard you can't just abruptly stop them. My physician suggested that my blood pressure and heart rate spikes might be linked to anxiety and recommended Anxit 0.25 mg for when my pulse gets fast. He also mentioned that the beta blockers might be causing my ongoing dry cough and advised me to quit them. But, shouldn't there be some kind of substitute for my blood pressure? I'm worried about what might happen if I just stop without any alternative. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this situation?

So my left atrium size is 5.6 cm, and my doctor says my heart is alright, but I'm not sure how that is possible. On top of it, I'm having trouble with dyspnea when I exert myself. Could someone help explain what's going on?
It is possible for your doctor to determine that your heart is functioning normally despite the enlarged left atrium (LA) size. However, experiencing dyspnea on exertion is a concerning symptom that should be further evaluated. In this case, you may benefit from medication such as a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50 mg daily) to help with your symptoms. Additionally, a diuretic like Furosemide (20-40 mg daily) may be prescribed to reduce fluid buildup and alleviate the dyspnea. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my husband. He's in the paramilitary and has been dealing with blood pressure issues for a while. He's been taking LOSAR H tablets every day, like for years. But now, his blood pressure seems to be dropping and has recently dipped below 110. He's stationed in a very high-risk area and has to do intense physical work. I'm really concerned. What should we do about this situation?
It is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly, especially since it has dropped below 110. In this situation, it is advisable to consult with a doctor to adjust the dosage of LOSAR H or consider switching to a different medication. Since he is in a high-stress environment and engaged in intensive physical work, it is crucial to ensure that his blood pressure remains within a safe range to prevent any complications. I recommend seeking medical advice promptly to address this issue and make necessary adjustments to his medication.
