I've recently switched to Telma 40 from Inzit 4 mg just a few days ago, and while my blood pressure was normal initially, today it shot up to 135 over 105. Plus, I'm experiencing this tingling sensation in my hands and feet. I'm wondering, should I give it more time for my body to adjust to Telma? Will these side effects eventually go away, or would it be better to revert to Inzit, even though it gave me quite a few side effects too? What do you think I should do?

View allMy uncle has been diagnosed with incomplete RBBB and I'm just wondering how serious that is and what we should do about it. He's also been taking Tolol XL 25 mg for the past 10 years. Should he be worried or consider any specific treatments?
Incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) is a condition where the electrical impulses in the heart are delayed or blocked in the right bundle branch. It is important to monitor this condition regularly as it can sometimes progress to a complete block. In most cases, Incomplete RBBB does not cause symptoms and does not require specific treatment. However, it is important for your uncle to have regular follow-ups with a cardiologist to monitor his heart health. Regarding the medication Tolol XL 25mg that your uncle has been taking for 10 years, it is a brand name for Metoprolol XL. This medication is a beta-blocker that is commonly used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain, and heart failure. The dosage of 25mg is a common starting dose for Metoprolol XL. It is important for your uncle to continue taking this medication as prescribed by his doctor. Regular follow-ups with a cardiologist, monitoring of the Incomplete RBBB, and continued use of Metoprolol XL as prescribed are important steps in managing your uncle's heart health.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with an irregular heartbeat pretty much all the time for the last 23 years. What could be causing this?
Irregular heartbeats can be caused by various underlying conditions. In your case, since you have been experiencing this issue for the past 2-3 years, it is important to consult a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. However, one common medication that is often prescribed for irregular heartbeats is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). The usual starting dose for Metoprolol in cases of irregular heartbeats is 25-100 mg per day, taken orally. This medication helps to regulate the heart rate and rhythm. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I'm really worried because every time I feel stressed, I get chest pain and end up panicking. I rush to get an ECG and 2D echo done, but it's always normal, which is honestly exhausting. I'm scared it's something serious like a heart attack, but then the tests say otherwise. What should I do? Any advice would be appreciated.
To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a medication called **Propranolol**. This is a beta-blocker that can help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as chest pain and palpitations. The usual dosage for Propranolol in such cases is 20-40mg taken 2-3 times a day. Additionally, you may benefit from an anxiolytic medication such as **Lorazepam** to help with acute episodes of anxiety and panic. The typical dosage for Lorazepam is 0.5-2mg taken as needed for anxiety symptoms. It's important to also consider non-pharmacological approaches to managing stress, such as relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, regular physical activity, and seeking support from a therapist or counselor. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
