View allI'm dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety, and my pulse rate is pretty much always over 90. My doctor has me on Ciplar LA 40 once a day for a few months. I've read that stopping this medication can cause heart attacks and other scary stuff. Is it really safe for me to be on this? I'm also taking Ecospirin 75 at night to help with blood flow. What should I do?
While Propranolol (Ciplar LA) and Aspirin are generally safe when prescribed together, it's crucial to follow your doctors recommendations for proper management. If you're ever in doubt or feel uncomfortable about the medication, dont hesitate to have a thorough discussion with your healthcare provider to address your concerns and explore options.

I'm a bit worried because even after testing negative for COVID, my pulse rate is still high, around 103-104. Yesterday, I started feeling some pain in my left arm, so I got an ECG done. It showed something called sinus tachycardia, which I guess isn't normal. My blood pressure is 14090, and I've started taking Ecospirin 75mg. Is this something I should be concerned about?
After recovering from COVID-19, experiencing a continuous elevated pulse rate (sinus tachycardia) and pain in your left arm warrants attention. An abnormal ECG and a BP reading of 14090 mmHg suggest that further evaluation is necessary. Sinus tachycardia can be caused by various factors, including lingering effects of the virus, dehydration, stress, or other underlying conditions. Ecospirin (aspirin) 75 mg can help reduce the risk of clotting, but it's crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider to identify the cause of your symptoms and ensure appropriate management. Additional tests such as blood work, echocardiogram, or a Holter monitor might be needed. Please consult your healthcare provider promptly for a comprehensive evaluation.

My father has 4 major blocks in his heart 3 are over 70% and one is 30%. I've attached the report for reference. The doctor recommended bypass surgery, but I'm wondering why angioplasty isn't an option here. Can you explain the reasoning behind this?
Is your father a diabetic patient? How is his physical built - thin, average, obese? Otherwise a active person or not?
