Ive noticed that my heart rate is really highlike around 96 to 108 when Im just sitting, and it shoots up to 110 to 120 once I start walking. I did have COVID about 10 months ago and got my ECG and echo tests done three months back, which came out normal. I also checked my cholesterol and thyroid levels, and they were fine. Should I be concerned about my heart rate, or is this something that will go back to normal over time?

Since your ECG and echo were normal 3 months back, it is less likely to be a serious issue. However, it is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. Make sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She's been dealing with high blood pressure, and it was at 160100 before she started taking Aginalat, which thankfully brought it down to around 12590. Her X-ray showed her heart is slightly enlarged, and she's got some swelling in her legs. Our doctor just recommended she start taking Aquazide 12.5mg in the morning. Since both medications are for high blood pressure and the swelling, I'm wondering if it's okay for her to take them at the same time? Could it possibly be risky like making her blood pressure drop too low?

If she is already taking Aginal-AT for high blood pressure and her doctor has now prescribed Aquazide 12.5mg for swelling and high blood pressure, it is generally safe to take both medications together as long as they are taken as prescribed. Both medications work in different ways to help control blood pressure and reduce swelling. The usual dosing for Aquazide 12.5mg is 1 tablet once a day. Taking both medications at the same time (1-0-0) should not harm her health or cause her blood pressure to drop too low. However, it is important to monitor her blood pressure regularly and report any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or weakness to her doctor. Additionally, her doctor may adjust the dosage or timing of the medications if needed based on her response.

My mother-in-law has been struggling with high cholesterol and she's had two angiograms already. She's also dealing with thyroid issues, diabetes, and high blood pressure. She's been on medication for the last seven years, which has kept everything normal. But last week, her triglyceride levels shot up to 470, and she started feeling chest pain. The doctor ran some tests and added two new tablets, KORANDIL 10 and METAGARD 35, for 15 days. But after taking them, she's been having severe headaches, so she stopped taking the pills. Is there a possibility of changing these tablets with the help of the doctor?

Before changing anything , we will need to check your angiography report , your ECG , and echocardiography reports.. With out that. Changing or stoping medications can be dangerous Also will need the complete list of medications korandil can cause headache but it dialates the small blood vessels in the heart and if you have a significant blockage then you need it or some similar kind of meds..so need all the above mentioned information before any advice
