Our body has Carcadian system and this rythm dips and raises throutout the day. This system sends out PA1-1 cells which blocks the blood clots from breaking down. Another reason is when we wake up, brain floods the heart with hormones which increases the load on the heart .

I'm taking Prolomet 25mg for my high heart rate and blood pressure and I've been on it for about a year. Sometimes when I catch a common cold, it gets hard to breathe and I take Budamet tablets. But when I talked to a pulmonologist, he said that Prolomet isnt good for long-term use because it can cause respiratory issues, and he suggested switching to OLMARK 40 instead. Does this sound right to you, or should I be concerned about making the change?

yes continue olmark 40 medication.

I've been feeling some palpitations over the past week, but didn't worry too much since my heart rate seemed okay and I was experiencing a lot of reflux. I thought they might be ectopic beats. However, today something came up that mentioned atrial flutter. Could you please take a look and confirm if that's correct? I know machines sometimes make mistakes with these readings and it's got me a bit concerned.

Atrial flutter is a type of arrhythmia characterized by a rapid and regular heart rhythm, and it can sometimes be misdiagnosed by automatic ECG readings. Given your symptoms of palpitations and the recent diagnosis, it's crucial to have this evaluated by a healthcare professional. An atrial flutter diagnosis should be confirmed by a cardiologist through a thorough review of your ECG and possibly additional tests such as a Holter monitor or an electrophysiological study. Its important not to ignore these symptoms, as atrial flutter can increase the risk of stroke and other complications. Please schedule an appointment with your cardiologist to confirm the diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options.

I think I might have angina because I'm experiencing chest pains. I also have high blood pressure and was born with a slight blockage. I'm just 18 and I'm not sure how to talk to my parents about this. Honestly, I'm scared to go to a hospital. If I manage to lower my blood pressure, do you think it'll help with these symptoms? This has been happening for the past two days and I'm pretty worried. Could you give me some advice on what to do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, especially given your history of high blood pressure and a slight blockage. Lowering your blood pressure may help alleviate some symptoms, but it is important to seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take aspirin to help with chest pain. Please take one low-dose aspirin (81mg) and chew it to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Make sure to inform your parents about your symptoms and seek medical help as soon as possible.
