I'm currently taking Corbis 1.25 as a beta blocker for blood pressure, and while it seems to be under control, my heart rate sometimes drops to 56 or goes up to 68. I'm feeling dizzy on and off, and I'm worried if this slow heart rate is the reason. Is it okay for me to stop taking my blood pressure medication?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It seems like the beta blocker medication you are taking is effectively controlling your blood pressure, but it may be causing your heart rate to decrease at times, leading to symptoms like dizziness. It is important not to stop the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor. Instead, you can discuss with your doctor about adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication that may better suit your needs. In the meantime, if you experience severe dizziness or any concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.

My dad, who's 69, had some pretty serious chest pain last week. An ECG showed something wasn't right and his angiography results mentioned artery blockages at 90%, 80%, and 70%. He's now on medication, but I'm really concerned. What does this all mean for his health, and are there other treatments we should consider to address these blockages?
It sounds like your father is experiencing significant heart issues with the reported artery blockages. To help manage the condition and prevent further complications, it is crucial for him to continue with the prescribed medications. One common medication that is often used in such cases is Atorvastatin, which helps lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart-related events. Additionally, medications like Aspirin can be beneficial in preventing blood clots and improving blood flow through the blocked arteries. It is important for your father to follow the dosage instructions provided by his healthcare provider and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor his progress. In some cases, additional interventions such as angioplasty or bypass surgery may be recommended. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and lifestyle modifications are also essential in managing his condition.

I've been dealing with this chest pain and burping for a couple of days now, and I'm honestly getting a bit worried. I've tried taking 45mg of aspirin, but it's not helping at all. Do you have any idea what might be causing this pain?
