Question 1

I'm really worried about my blood pressure, which is at 8065. I feel so weak and am considered underweight, weighing only 39.2 kg at a height of 5'3". I'm currently taking Health OK multivitamins to help with my low blood pressure, but I'm anxious if these numbers will ever get to normal. Do you think I'll be able to achieve a normal heart rate, or is this something I'll have to deal with forever? I'm only 20, so this has me pretty concerned.

Accepted Answer

Low blood pressure can be concerning, especially if it is causing symptoms like weakness. In your case, being underweight may also contribute to low blood pressure. To help increase your blood pressure and improve your symptoms, you can try increasing your salt and fluid intake, wearing compression stockings, and eating frequent small meals. To address your anxiety and support your heart rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg once daily, which can be adjusted as needed under medical supervision. It's important to continue monitoring your blood pressure and heart rate regularly, and make lifestyle changes to support your overall health. If you have persistent concerns or symptoms, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I've been taking Tazloc 40 mg and Nebicard 2.5 mg every day, but I've started having a lot of congestion and trouble with my breathing. I decided to stop them, and now the side effects are gone. Between these two medications, which one could be causing these issues?

Accepted Answer

Out of Tazloc 40 mg and Nebicard 2.5 mg, the medication more likely to cause congestion and breathing issues is Nebicard 2.5 mg. Nebicard is a brand name for Nebivolol, which is a beta-blocker commonly associated with side effects such as bronchospasm and worsening of respiratory conditions in some individuals. It is good that you have stopped the medications and the side effects have resolved.

Question 3

I've been having shortness of breath and recently got an Echo done, which said there was mild LVH. A couple of days ago, I noticed a little blood when I spit, and my doctor recommended I take Augmentin 625 and Montair LC for a week. I've been on them for two days now, but I noticed bright red blood when I spit again today, with no mucus color. I also have GERD and have had this issue for more than six years. Could the medication or the GERD be causing this, or should I be worried about something more serious?

check for TB once and review

I've just gotten over COVID, and I've noticed some changes in my heart rate. When I'm at rest, it's okay around 70-95, but when I climb stairs, it spikes to between 160-165. Even when I'm just walking at a pace of 5 kmh, it's around 130-140. Is this normal post-COVID, or should I be concerned?
