I'm a bit worried because for the past two days, I've been having some breathing discomfort, but it's not constant. It mostly happens after I've eaten in the afternoon and at night. I'm also experiencing some pain in my shoulder. I just started Zumba exercises, and it seems like this all started the day after. Do you think there's a connection? What's going on with my breathing and shoulder?

take tablet zerodol and tablet pantoprazole for 5 days

I'm taking Metocard XL 25, but recently switched to Metocard XL 12.5, and I've noticed a rash on my chest and hand. It's painful. A while back, when I was on Inderal LA, I had a similar rash. My cardiologist thinks it might be a side effect from the medication and suggested I get some tests done. Could I be allergic to both of these beta blockers?

It is possible to have an allergic reaction or side effects from beta blockers, including Metocard XL (metoprolol) and Inderal LA (propranolol), which can manifest as rashes and pain in the affected areas. Since you experienced similar symptoms with both medications, its important to follow your cardiologist's advice and undergo the recommended tests to confirm the cause of the rash. In the meantime, discuss alternative medications or treatment options with your cardiologist to manage your condition without causing allergic reactions.
