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?

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.

I've been experiencing chest pain on my right side after eating dinner. It's not constant, and I haven't had any other symptoms like sweating or pain in my armjust the chest pain. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might go away on its own?

Right side chest pain after eating could potentially be related to gastrointestinal issues such as acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It could also be due to gallbladder problems, especially if the pain is triggered by fatty meals. Considering your symptoms are not accompanied by sweating or arm pain, it is less likely to be cardiac in origin, but its still important to rule out other potential causes. I recommend trying some lifestyle and dietary changes, such as: - Avoiding large, heavy meals and opting for smaller, more frequent meals - Reducing the intake of fatty, spicy, or acidic foods - Not lying down immediately after eating If the pain persists or worsens, it would be wise to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation. They might suggest an upper endoscopy to check for GERD or an abdominal ultrasound to examine the gallbladder.

I had a TMT test in February 2019 and an Echo in April 2020, and both were normal, but I'm still experiencing a lot of symptoms. I've been having chest discomfort that moves to my throat and arm for over two years now. I get ECGs done twice every month since 2019, and they only show sinus tachycardia. How long should I trust the normal TMT results? Since it's not COVID causing this, I keep wondering if I should repeat the TMT and Echo. What do you think?
