Question 1

Why does my doctor want to change my BP medication from Olmesar H 20 to T Nabicar 5Mg? My BP seems under control and my pulse rate is usually between 90-100, though it goes from 100 to 130 during the TMT. My triglycerides are at 201 but all other cholesterol and kidney tests came back normal. They've also suggested I start taking Atorva 10Mg. Can you help me understand if switching to these new meds is the right move?

Accepted Answer

Based on your doctor's recommendation, it would be advisable to switch from Olmesar H 20 to T Nabicar 5mg for better management of your blood pressure. Additionally, starting Atorva 10mg can help in lowering your triglyceride levels. It seems like a reasonable adjustment to your medication regimen to further improve your cardiovascular health.

Question 2

Hey, a few days back I had a weird situation where I started feeling really anxious, my heart rate shot up to 150, and I had palpitations. I took Ciplar LA 20 and Dolo 650, and luckily my pulse eventually dropped back to 75. I'm trying to figure out ...

Accepted Answer

Based on your description, it is possible that you experienced episodes of Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) given the sudden onset of palpitations, anxiety feeling, and rapid rise in pulse rate to 150 beats per minute. The fact that your symptoms improved after taking Ciplar LA 20 (propranolol) which is a beta-blocker commonly used to manage SVT supports this possibility. Additionally, the normal ECG results in May suggest that there may not be any underlying structural heart issues causing the SVT. For the management of SVT episodes, you can continue to use Ciplar LA 20 as needed to help control your heart rate. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to discuss long-term management options, such as potential medication adjustments or other interventions like ablation therapy. In the meantime, it is advisable to avoid triggers that may precipitate SVT episodes, such as caffeine, stress, or certain medications. Keeping a record of your symptoms and discussing them with your healthcare provider can also help in monitoring your condition effectively.

Question 3

I'm dealing with an anxiety disorder, and my doctor prescribed me 12 Ciplar LA 20. Unfortunately, it's out of stock, but I found Ciplar 10 instead. I'm wondering if they're the same or if I should do something different. Can you help me figure this out?

Accepted Answer

The white spot seen on the baby's heart during a prenatal ultrasound, also known as an echogenic intracardiac focus, is a common finding. In most cases, it is a benign and harmless condition that does not cause any issues with the baby's heart function. It is often seen as a normal variant and typically resolves on its own without any treatment. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring to ensure that there are no other associated abnormalities. In most cases, no specific treatment is needed for this finding. If there are any concerns about the baby's heart development, your healthcare provider may recommend additional tests or monitoring. It is always best to discuss any findings or concerns with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance and recommendations.
