I've been prescribed Lipicure 10 mg and I'm a bit worried about how long I should be taking it. My LDL cholesterol level is 169 and I'm not sure if that's considered high. Can you give me some guidance on the duration I should continue this medication? I'm feeling a little anxious about managing my cholesterol effectively.

View allI've noticed my pulse has been over 100, around 115, for the past two days. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this, and how can I get back to a normal pulse rate?
A pulse rate of over 100 beats per minute is considered to be higher than normal (tachycardia). There are several possible causes for this, including stress, anxiety, dehydration, fever, anemia, thyroid issues, or certain medications. It is important to monitor your pulse rate and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to relax, stay hydrated, and avoid stimulants like caffeine. If the high pulse rate persists or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, please seek medical advice promptly.

I'm experiencing this really rapid heart rate every time I'm about to sleep. I have a 10-day-old infant who wakes up for feedings at night, and when I get up suddenly, my heart races like crazy. I also feel this burning sensation and shortness of breath, almost like I'm missing a heartbeat. There's a bit of pain too. When I left the hospital, my blood pressure was high at 140100, but now it's around 13080 without any BP medication. I'm really worried if it's something serious with my heart or just palpitations. Could this be something I should be concerned about?
Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations due to stress and anxiety, especially with the added stress of taking care of a newborn. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking propranolol 10mg twice daily to help with the rapid heart rate and palpitations. Additionally, you can consider taking lorazepam 0.5mg at bedtime to help with anxiety and improve sleep quality. It's important to practice relaxation techniques and ensure you are getting enough rest to support your overall heart health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm trying to come off the beta blockers my doctor prescribed for the heart palpitations linked to my anxiety. I'm a bit worried about the process and wondering if stopping them might lead to any issues or side effects afterward. Can you help guide me on what to expect and how to do this safely?
To come off beta blockers that were prescribed for anxiety symptoms like heart palpitations, it is important to gradually taper off the medication under the supervision of your healthcare provider. Abruptly stopping beta blockers can lead to rebound symptoms such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and anxiety. One common beta blocker used for anxiety symptoms is Propranolol. Your doctor may gradually reduce your dosage over a period of time to minimize withdrawal symptoms. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully during this process. After stopping beta blockers, some individuals may experience a temporary increase in heart rate and blood pressure. However, these symptoms typically subside as your body adjusts to being off the medication. If you have any concerns or experience any troubling symptoms during the tapering process, be sure to contact your healthcare provider for further guidance.
