My dad had some trouble with his breathing yesterday, so we rushed him to the hospital, and they said it's mitral stenosis. I'm really worried. Is this something serious? What steps should we be taking now?

Question

I've been taking Ciplar LA 20 for the past 40 days as prescribed by my doctor who recommended continuing it for another 30 days. Today, after washing my car, I felt really tired and had a light headache that went away after resting. Then, when I drove about 15 km to a ceremony, I felt restless and had another light headache. While driving, I experienced a brief moment of dizziness. Could this be due to acidity, or are these side effects of Ciplar? What do you suggest I do?

Question

So, I found out about three weeks ago that I have sinus bradycardia, and my heart rate is 54. I've been doing annual health checkups, and noticed that last year my heart rate was also under 60. Can you help me understand what this all means? Should I be making any changes or taking any steps to address this? I'm pretty curious and a bit worried about what's next for me.

Question

I'm trying to come off the beta blockers my doctor prescribed for the heart palpitations linked to my anxiety. I'm a bit worried about the process and wondering if stopping them might lead to any issues or side effects afterward. Can you help guide me on what to expect and how to do this safely?
