Hey, my mom's 60 and she's been feeling this heaviness in her chest. They prescribed her Cidmus 50. I'm really curious about why this specific medication is used and what condition it's usually meant to treat?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Cidmus 50 is given to treat angina, which is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough blood. Cidmus 50 contains the active ingredient Atenolol, which helps to reduce the workload on the heart and decrease its oxygen demand. The usual dosage of Cidmus 50 for angina is 50-100mg once daily.

View allI'm really worried because my father was supposed to take Pinom H 20mg but accidentally took Pinom A 20mg for a week. Could this mix-up cause any issues for him? I'm just trying to figure out if we need to be concerned or take him to see someone about this. Any advice would be helpful.

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've been on high blood pressure meds for about a year now. Lately, I've also started taking Concor 1.25 daily. I've noticed that sometimes my heart rate seems to drop, and it's really freaking me out. What could be causing this?
I understand that feeling a drop in your heartbeat can be quite alarming. Given that you are taking high blood pressure medication and Concor (bisoprolol, a beta-blocker), it's possible that your symptoms could be related to your medication. Beta-blockers like bisoprolol are known to lower both blood pressure and heart rate, and sometimes they can cause bradycardia (a slower than normal heart rate). This can occasionally make you feel lightheaded or cause an irregular heartbeat. It's important to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare provider, as they might need to adjust your medication dosage or explore other underlying causes for your symptoms. In the meantime, keep monitoring your heart rate and blood pressure, and avoid any activities that could trigger these symptoms or put you at risk.

I'm really worried about some ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing. After a rod hit me in the chest back in November 2015, I had a brief issue with my breathing, which seemed to get better. But then, by February 2016, I started having severe chest pain. I got checked at CMH Narayana Hrudayalaya to see if it was related to my heart, but everything came out fine. This pain keeps coming back, and it's like a muscle pull behind my rib cage. Could this be a problem with my heart or even my lungs?
