I've got a pretty long medical history with congenital heart disease, two open-heart surgeries, and a pacemaker implanted because of atrial fibrillation. My thyroid levels are low, and I'm on medications like Cordarone and beta blockers. It's been rough over the last year with this intense pounding sensation over my nose and super high blood pressure that just won't get under control. I've tried all the check-ups I can think of. What could possibly be causing this uncontrollable high blood pressure, and what can I do about it?

Uncontrollable high blood pressure can be challenging to manage, especially with your complex medical history. Since you are already on Cordarone, a Beta Blocker, and thyroid medication, one option to consider adding is an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril. The recommended dosage for Lisinopril is usually starting at 10 mg once a day, which can be adjusted based on your blood pressure response. Additionally, a diuretic such as Hydrochlorothiazide may also be beneficial in controlling your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and work closely with your healthcare provider to adjust your medications as needed.

View allI'm dealing with high blood pressure and tachycardia, and my heart rate is pretty fast. I've been taking Hypen 121.5 mg daily for my BP and Indever 40 mg twice a day. Lately, I've started taking Indever regularly, and I've noticed that whenever I talk loudly or shout, I get chest pain. This has been happening for the last four months, even with the medication. Is this something I should be worried about?

I'm really confused right now. I went to a hospital because I was having some gastric problems, and the doctor there did a troponin test that came back positive at 0.03. Then, when I spoke to my family doctor, he suggested getting a second opinion, which I did at MMM. They said the results were negative. I'm stuck in this weird spot of not knowing what to believe or trust. Could you help me figure out what to do next?
It seems there is a discrepancy in the troponin test results between the two hospitals. Since the second opinion from MMM hospital came out as negative, it would be advisable to follow that result. In the case of gastric issues, you can take medications like Omeprazole (brand name: Prilosec) 20mg twice daily before meals for acid reflux. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name: Gas-X) 125mg as needed for gas and bloating. Make sure to follow up with your family doctor for further guidance and monitoring of your gastric problem.

I'm really worried because my whole body seems to vibrate with my heartbeat, and I can actually see it in my stomach and hands. I've done ECGs, two TMTs, and an echo, and they all came back normal. I also feel this pressure on the left side of my chest, plus irritation in my throat that's been going on for more than two weeks now. I'm not sure if I should go for another echo or not. I also have a vitamin D deficiency and am taking weekly sachets for it. Do you think it's necessary to take calcium tablets with it? Any advice would be really appreciated.
