I've been having this sudden sharp chest pain that comes and goes in about 3 minutes. It gets worse when I breathe deeply or move around. Sometimes it just goes away on its own, but other times drinking water or taking Omeprazole 20mg seems to help. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I've been having some concerns after a medical camp at my office where my BP was checked. The first reading was 120180 and the second was 110170. The doctor suggested I take Lasix for a day and then start on Telma 40 mg for 10 days. I've just started the medication yesterday. Over the past week, I've reduced my salt intake and started doing yoga. Before starting the medication, my BP readings were 110150, 105145, 110150, and 115155. Yesterday I took Lasix at 3 pm and today 1 tablet of Telma 40 mg at 8 am. My BP reading at 7:30 pm today was 14090. I'm feeling a bit different after the meds and am wondering if they're too strong or just right. What do you think is happening?

It seems like your blood pressure is gradually stabilizing, which is a positive sign, but a reading of 14090 is still on the higher side. It's normal to feel a bit different when starting medication, but if you're concerned or feel any discomfort, its important to check in with your doctor to ensure the dosage is appropriate for you.

My dad had heart bypass surgery about 3 years ago at Ushamullapudi Hospital, and now his heart has gotten larger. He's really having trouble with breathing. He's 60 years old. What could be causing this and what should we do next?

He may benefit from medications such as Carvedilol (Coreg) to help reduce the workload on his heart and improve his symptoms. The typical starting dose for Carvedilol is 3.125 mg twice a day, which can be gradually increased as tolerated. Additionally, he may also be prescribed Furosemide (Lasix) to help reduce fluid buildup in his body and relieve his breathing difficulties. The usual starting dose for Furosemide is 20-80 mg per day, depending on his kidney function and fluid status. It is crucial for him to follow up with his cardiologist regularly for monitoring and adjustments to his medication regimen.

Hey, so I'm trying to understand what trace TR means and how it affects my health. Could you tell me about any treatments or steps I might take to improve this? It's been on my mind, and I'd really like to get a handle on what to expect.

Trace TR typically refers to trace amounts of protein in the urine, which can be an early sign of kidney damage or other health issues. To address this, it is important to manage the underlying cause. One common approach is to control blood pressure and blood sugar levels through lifestyle modifications and medications like Losartan 50mg daily. Additionally, reducing salt intake and maintaining a healthy weight can also help improve kidney function. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare provider are essential to track progress and adjust treatment as needed.
