I've been on Tazloc Beta 25 for about 3 years now, and I've noticed something odd with my liver function tests. I've had them done three times during this period, and each time my total bilirubin levels have been between 1.33 and 1.45. Before I started taking the BP pills, my liver tests were always normal. Do you think the medication could be affecting my liver, or could there be another reason for this change? I haven't noticed any liver-related symptoms, but it's a bit concerning. Could you shed some light on this?

The medication Tazloc Beta 25 contains Telmisartan and Metoprolol, which are commonly used to treat high blood pressure. While these medications are generally well-tolerated, they can rarely cause liver enzyme abnormalities in some individuals. Since your total bilirubin levels have been elevated since starting the medication, it is possible that Tazloc Beta 25 may be contributing to this change in your LFT results. I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to evaluate the need for further investigation or potential adjustment of your medication.

I've been experiencing really strong heartbeats two or three times a day for the last year and a half, especially when I'm doing anything physical. Otherwise, my blood pressure seems normal. I'm feeling pretty scared about this. Should I see a doctor?

Question

I'm experiencing some persistent chest pain, and it's been going on for over two months now. It feels like a pinching pain right in the middle of my chest, but sometimes it shifts to the right or left side. There are also times when my heart starts beating really fast. I've had an ECG, echo, and TMT done, and all the results came back normal. I'm still feeling this pain and it's quite unsettling. Could you help me figure out what might be going on or suggest what I should do next?

Ive been feeling really tired lately, and all my tests came back normal except for my lipid profile. Turns out my cholesterol level is really low. My LDL cholesterol is at 30, the LDLHDL ratio is 0.61, and the cholesterolHDL ratio is 1.76. Should I be worried about this? It's really stressing me out.
