I've been having a hard time breathing when I'm lying down on either side. Could this be related to my lungs or heart? I'm feeling a bit worried. Can you give me some insight into what might be going on?

View allI'm a 30-year-old male and I've been having some trouble with my BP medication. About a year ago, my blood pressure spiked to 175120 and my doctor prescribed Telma 40 along with another medicine for a week. Over time, I stopped taking Telma 40 and hadn't used it for the last 3 months. Recently, I switched to Prolomet XL 25, but it doesn't seem to suit me. What should I do?
It seems like you are experiencing some difficulties with Prolomet XL 25. Since Telma 40 worked well for you in managing your blood pressure, I would recommend you to consult your doctor for a prescription of Telma 40 again. Additionally, you can also consider adding a diuretic like Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg to your current medication regimen to help control your blood pressure more effectively. Remember to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of these medications.

My brother just went through open heart surgery last month, and now he's been battling pneumonia for two weeks. He's been admitted to the ICU due to breathing issues. They did an ECG and discovered his heart function is down to 24. I'm really worried, and I'm wondering if we could take him on an 11-hour flight to the USA to address this situation. What do you think?

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've been on high blood pressure meds for about a year now. Lately, I've also started taking Concor 1.25 daily. I've noticed that sometimes my heart rate seems to drop, and it's really freaking me out. What could be causing this?
I understand that feeling a drop in your heartbeat can be quite alarming. Given that you are taking high blood pressure medication and Concor (bisoprolol, a beta-blocker), it's possible that your symptoms could be related to your medication. Beta-blockers like bisoprolol are known to lower both blood pressure and heart rate, and sometimes they can cause bradycardia (a slower than normal heart rate). This can occasionally make you feel lightheaded or cause an irregular heartbeat. It's important to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare provider, as they might need to adjust your medication dosage or explore other underlying causes for your symptoms. In the meantime, keep monitoring your heart rate and blood pressure, and avoid any activities that could trigger these symptoms or put you at risk.
