Question 2

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having this pain on the left side of her chest, and it spreads to her shoulder blade and down her arm. It's been really tough for her because she also feels uncomfortable when she's swallowing, and the pain gets worse when she takes a deep breath. She's not dealing with a cold, cough, or fever, but even with the meds she's taking, nothing seems to be helping. Could you please help me understand what might be going on and how we can treat it?

Question 3

My mom had an angioplasty last month, and she's been on medication since. We've been wondering about stopping Daxid 50 because she's feeling better, but we're worried about any possible side effects from stopping it suddenly and if it's a habit-forming medication. Could you provide some guidance?

Accepted Answer

It is important not to stop Daxid 50 (Sertraline) suddenly without consulting the doctor. Abrupt discontinuation of this medication can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, headache, fatigue, and irritability. It is recommended to gradually taper off the dose under the guidance of a healthcare professional to minimize the risk of withdrawal effects. So, please consult your mother's doctor before making any changes to her medication regimen.
