I had open heart surgery about 11 years ago because there was a hole in my heart. Is it safe for me to start going to the gym and lifting heavy weights now? Would love your advice.

View allI'm about 5 feet 3 inches and weigh 70 kg. I've been taking olmetrack 20 mg for the last year, but now my blood pressure is at 13084. I was wondering if I could switch to taking olmighty 20 mg instead, since it's cheaper. Are these two medications different in any way?
Both Olmetrack 20 mg and Olmighty 20 mg contain the same active ingredient, which is olmesartan. They belong to the same class of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and are used to treat high blood pressure. You can switch from Olmetrack 20 mg to Olmighty 20 mg as they are equivalent in terms of effectiveness. The recommended dosage for Olmighty 20 mg would be the same as Olmetrack 20 mg, which is usually once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly after switching to ensure that it remains controlled. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, please consult your healthcare provider.

I'm feeling really anxious because I've had this mild chest pain between my right breast and the center of my chest for the last 15 days. It happens when I twist my shoulder to the right. I started taking Pantoprazole 40 and Myospaz Forte as recommended by a local doctor three days ago, but the pain is still there. What should I do now?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain in your chest area. In addition to the medications you are already taking, you can try taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the painful area and practicing gentle stretching exercises for the chest and shoulder muscles may also help alleviate the discomfort. Make sure to avoid any activities that worsen the pain and try to maintain good posture. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your local doctor for further evaluation and possibly imaging studies to rule out any other underlying causes of your chest pain.

My 72-year-old father is weak and sometimes has high BP. He takes ecospirin AV 75 every night. His ECG report shows sinus bradycardia, right bundle branch block, and T wave abnormality suggesting lateral ischemia. The ECG is abnormal. Should he keep taking ecospirin AV 75? Does he need any surgery based on these findings? What should we do next?
East Delhi father’s sinus bradycardia with RBBB and ischemic changes needs cardiology review before stopping aspirin;surgery depends on angiography findings.
