I've been feeling really worn out and having a hard time sleeping because of my breathing troubles. I recently found out my ejection fraction is at 40. I'm super worried about it and want to know what I can do to feel better and improve my situation. Any advice on how to handle this?

View allI'm about 5 feet 3 inches and weigh 70 kg. I've been taking olmetrack 20 mg for the last year, but now my blood pressure is at 13084. I was wondering if I could switch to taking olmighty 20 mg instead, since it's cheaper. Are these two medications different in any way?
Both Olmetrack 20 mg and Olmighty 20 mg contain the same active ingredient, which is olmesartan. They belong to the same class of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and are used to treat high blood pressure. You can switch from Olmetrack 20 mg to Olmighty 20 mg as they are equivalent in terms of effectiveness. The recommended dosage for Olmighty 20 mg would be the same as Olmetrack 20 mg, which is usually once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly after switching to ensure that it remains controlled. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, please consult your healthcare provider.

I'm really worried about my dad. He has a stent in his heart, and when we checked his pulse on the oximeter, it showed 5659. He's also taking Concor 5. Could this be something serious?
A pulse rate of 56-59 beats per minute can be considered lower than normal (bradycardia), especially for someone with a history of heart issues like stenting. Concor 5 contains Bisoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. In this case, the low pulse rate could be a side effect of the medication. It is important to monitor his pulse rate regularly and consult with his healthcare provider. If he experiences symptoms like dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath, seek medical attention promptly. The dosage of Concor 5 should be reviewed by his doctor to ensure it is appropriate for him.
