I've been noticing some strange smells for the past monthmost foods just don't smell right to me. It hasn't gone away, and on top of that, I've been dealing with chest pains for the last couple of days, especially when I lie down to sleep. Do you think I should see a doctor about this? Also, why do things smell so weird to me? Plus, I'm feeling really tense all the time.

View allI'm a little worried about my mom. She's been taking 3mg of warfarin, but her PTINR test just showed 1.27. Since she has heart issues, should we think about upping her dose to 5mg?
An INR of 1.27 indicates that the patient's blood is not clotting as well as it should be on the current dose of warfarin. For a heart patient, the target INR range is usually higher. In this case, it would be advisable to increase the dose of warfarin. I recommend increasing the dose to 4mg and then rechecking the INR in a week to see if it falls within the target range. Regular monitoring and adjustment of the warfarin dose is important to ensure the patient's blood is clotting within the desired range.

I've been taking Betacap TR 40 in the morning and before dinner, along with Newcita Plus and Oleanz 5, but I took Newcita Plus by mistake. Now I'm experiencing right side back pain and arm discomfort. Do you think it would be okay to increase Betacap TR 40 to Betacap 60?
Yes, you can increase the dosage of Betacap. Betacap TR 40 contains propranolol 40mg, while Betacap 60 contains propranolol 60mg. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication dosage. If your doctor agrees, you can switch to Betacap 60 and follow the recommended dosage instructions.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He recently had a TMT test, and it came back positive. But when they did the ECO and ECG tests, everything looked normal, and he hasn't mentioned any issues with breathing, whether he's running or walking. Can you help me understand why the TMT result was positive and what we should do next?
since tmt is positive,and echo and ecg is normal the causes of false positive tests could be due to electrolyte imbalances and also due to increased blood pressure .. could be the probable causes of tmt positive .Also a cardiologist opinion is advised
