My mom is currently taking a CTD 12.5 tablet daily as her doctor prescribed. I've heard that generic medicines can be more affordable. Is there a generic version of this tablet you could recommend for us? I'm trying to find a more cost-effective option.

View allI'm a bit worried about my pulse rate being 130 when I wake up. Is that considered high? I tested positive for COVID-19 on August 5th, 2020, and thankfully, I tested negative by August 29th, 2020. Could this be related to my elevated pulse rate?
A pulse rate of 130 when you wake up is considered high. It is possible that your previous COVID-19 infection could be a contributing factor to this elevated pulse rate. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate.

I've been experiencing this sharp, pricking pain in my chest for about a week, and I'm really not sure what it could be. It doesn't stay in one spot and sometimes it's on the left, sometimes on the right, near the left breast, or even below the shoulder. I got both an ECG and an echo, and they both came back normal, but I'm still worried. Any idea what might be going on?

I recently had a TMT test and got a negative result, but a couple of PVCs showed up during the test. Should I be worried about this? Is there any treatment or something I should consider?
Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). Occasional PVCs are typically harmless, especially if you have no underlying heart disease. However, if you are experiencing frequent PVCs or have a history of heart disease, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation. In terms of treatment, if PVCs are causing symptoms or are frequent, your doctor may prescribe antiarrhythmic medications such as **Metoprolol** at a specific dosage to help reduce the occurrence of PVCs and manage any associated symptoms. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, managing stress, and getting regular exercise may also help in managing PVCs. Remember, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan based on your individual health needs.
