Question

I'm worried about my pulse oximeter readings. It's been showing my pulse rate between 112 and 120, and my oxygen saturation levels are at 92 to 94. I've noticed my heart beats really fast occasionally over the past month. Considering my age and other health issues, do you think this is something I need to be concerned about?

A pulse rate between 112 and 120 with oxygen saturation of 92-94, especially if you're experiencing a fast heartbeat intermittently, can be concerning, particularly with your existing health conditions. It would be wise to consult your doctor to rule out any underlying issues, as it might indicate a need for further evaluation.

Question

I'm currently taking Teleact 40 in the morning and Cilny 10 along with Concor 5 at night. I've been feeling kind of light-headed in the mornings though. Do you think it would be better to switch things up and take the Telmisartan and Cilnidipine combo in the morning and the Concor 5 at night instead? I just want to make sure I'm managing my blood pressure in the best way possible.

Question

I'm really worried because I've been having chest pain for the last week. I took OMEE D on my own for only a day. Could you tell me the right dosage for OMEE D? I used to drink two lemon juices every day. Is that what's causing my chest pain?

Question

I've been taking TELMA H for the past two years for my high blood pressure. I'm a bit concerned and was wondering if there are any drawbacks or side effects of staying on this medication for so long.
