I've talked to a cardiologist and two neurologists about this. One suggested a color Doppler test without fully hearing me out, and the other said not to worry. It's just confusing because, like with a pulse oximeter reading from the finger, I wonder if this is normal.

View allI'm taking Concor 2.5mg because my heart rate was pretty high, like around 100. After starting it yesterday, my heart rate has dropped into the 60s and 70s.

Should I continue taking it daily, or could it cause issues?

I'm a bit worried about my grandma's medication. She's been on Aten 50, but the pharmacy gave us Losar 25 mg instead. Are these two the same? Can she safely switch to using the Losar now?
