Question

I'm curious about S NUMLO 2.5. Since it's a calcium channel blocker, does it actually lower the heart rate? I'd like to understand how it affects the heart. Can you help clarify?

Question

I'm taking 40 mg of Inderal daily since August 2019, but I switched to 20 mg last month. My pulse seems okay now. I also have thyroid issues, but they're under control at the moment. Could you guide me on how to safely stop taking Inderal?

Question

I've been having palpitations for a year, so I went for a full body check, and they told me I have mitral valve prolapse which was supposedly causing the palpitations. I was advised to do cardio exercises, and I've been good with that. Recently though, the palpitations have become worse, especially when I lie flat, and it's been keeping me up at night. I'm also feeling anxious at bedtime, but I'm fine otherwise. It's really affecting my sleep and overall quality of life. Do you think I should see a doctor about this?

Question

I've been prescribed two different medications, amiodarone and Carloc, and I'm a bit confused. Could you explain how they differ and whether they have similar effects? I'm really curious if they do the same thing or work differently.
