My mom, who's 50, has been taking Thyronorm 50 for her thyroid. Her doctor mentioned noticing some changes in her ECG twice during her follow-ups and suggested she should get a TMT and an Echo done. Her 2D Echo looks normal with an LVEF of 65%, but her TMT came back positive for inducible ischemia at a moderate workload level. She's mentioned having shortness of breath sometimes when she's climbing stairs, but other than that, she's fine and doesn't have any chest pain or a history of high blood pressure or diabetes. What would you suggest as the next steps for her?

I'm dealing with some chest pain and recently found out my blood pressure's been high at 14090 for the past two weeks, plus I've got high cholesterol. My doctor prescribed Rosuvas 10mg for the cholesterol but didn't give me anything for the blood pressure. Is it okay if I take EMBETA XR 50 along with Rosuvas just for a few days to manage the BP?

It is not advisable to take EMBETA XR 50 (Metoprolol) without consulting your doctor, especially since you have high blood pressure. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and heart rate. It is important to have your blood pressure monitored regularly while taking this medication. If your doctor did not prescribe a blood pressure medication initially, it is best to follow up with them to discuss the need for adding EMBETA XR 50 to your current treatment plan.

I'm really worried about my cousin. She's been having really bad chest pain on her left side since Thursday night. It hurts a lot when she touches it, and she can't lay down or sleep well. She tried taking Dolowin capsules, but it didn't help at all. What should we do? Could it be something serious?

Ecg and x-ray chest is advised to the patient.
