Question

I'm worried because my heart rate is always above 90, even when I'm just relaxing. I've had Eclampsia with a high heart rate and blood pressure before, and my doctor prescribed Ivabrad 5 mg. They mentioned I could stop taking it after a month. I've got a month's supply left, and I'm wondering if I can keep taking Ivabrad to help with my heart health. Is that a good idea?

Ivabradine 5 mg is a medication commonly used to lower heart rate in certain heart conditions. Since you were prescribed this medication for a specific reason and advised to stop after a month, it is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions. If you have remaining tablets and are concerned about your heart health, you can continue taking ivabradine as prescribed until you finish the course. However, it is recommended to consult with your doctor before starting or stopping any medication regimen.

I've been worried about getting the COVID vaccine because of some heart issues.
