I'm 58 and was diagnosed with high cholesterol and high blood pressure a few years back. I've been on lipisafe Nebilong 5mg and telcad 40 since then. It's been working because my levels are under control now, but for a while, I've been having this annoying chest pain and some joint and muscle aches. I don't know if it's the meds or something else. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm wondering if there's any added benefit to taking triolmesar 40 twice a day instead of just once. I've heard that taking it twice might not actually offer more benefit since a single dose is supposed to be effective. Can you shed some light on this for me?
Taking triolmesar 40 twice a day can provide more stable blood levels of the medication compared to a single daily dose. This can be especially beneficial for conditions that require consistent control of blood pressure. However, the decision to switch to a twice daily dosing regimen should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider to ensure it is appropriate for your specific medical condition.

Is there a way to manage mild TR or keep it stable over my lifetime? I'm 30 now and I'm really wondering how I can handle this situation.
For mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the focus is usually on managing any underlying conditions that may be causing the TR. In most cases, mild TR does not require specific treatment and can be managed by addressing the underlying cause. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. In some cases, medications such as diuretics or ACE inhibitors may be prescribed to help manage symptoms or prevent the condition from worsening. However, the specific treatment plan will depend on the underlying cause of the TR and should be determined by a healthcare professional. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is important to monitor the condition and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. If you have any concerns or notice any changes in your symptoms, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been really anxious about something that's been going on with me. I got my first dose of the Covishield vaccine on the 13th of last month. The first couple of days, I had a fever and body pains, which went away pretty quickly. But then on the third day, I started having this sharp chest pain on my lower left side, so I went to a cardiologist. They did an ECG and a 2D echo and said everything looked normal, probably just muscle pain or acid reflux, and gave me some meds like prantoprazole and paracetamolchlorzoxazone, which seemed to help at first. But now, almost two weeks later, the chest pain came back for an hour and went away after I took prantoprazole. Then my left arm started hurting, and that hasnt stopped. I don't have the chest pain anymore, but the arm ache is persistent. I'm worried if this is related to the vaccine or just acid reflux like they said, or if it could be something more serious like myocarditis or pericarditis. I've been Googling a lot and getting more concerned. Can you help? What's really going on with me?
It sounds like you are experiencing some concerning symptoms after receiving your Covishield vaccination. The chest pain, especially if it is sharp and on the lower left side, can be alarming. However, since your cardiologist has already ruled out any cardiac issues based on the ECG and 2D echo, it is reassuring. The recurrence of chest pain and the new symptom of left arm aching could be related to muscle pain or acid reflux, as suggested by your doctor. It is less likely to be myocarditis or pericarditis, especially if the cardiac tests were normal. To help with your symptoms, you can continue taking the medications prescribed by your doctor. In addition, you can try using a muscle relaxant and pain reliever like **Myoril (Thiocolchicoside)** along with **Paracetamol** for the left arm ache. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for each medication. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. Keep monitoring your symptoms and seek medical attention if you have any new or concerning symptoms.
