I'm dealing with mitral valve prolapse with some mild regurgitation, and I've been on Cardivas for my blood pressure. My doctor mentioned it might also help with MVP. However, I've been having issues with sexual dysfunction, so my doctor switched me to Nebicard. I'm curious which medication, Cardivas or Nebicard, is better for managing both my blood pressure and mitigating any sexual side effects. Any insights would be really helpful.

Both Cardivas and Nebicard are beta blockers commonly used to treat conditions like high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. In your case, both medications can help with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with mild regurgitation by reducing the workload on the heart and helping to control heart rate. Regarding sexual dysfunction, some beta blockers like Cardivas can potentially cause sexual side effects such as erectile dysfunction. Nebicard is a newer generation beta blocker that is less likely to cause sexual dysfunction compared to older beta blockers like Cardivas. Therefore, Nebicard may be a better option for you if sexual dysfunction is a concern. In terms of controlling blood pressure, both Cardivas and Nebicard are effective medications. However, Nebicard may be a preferred choice if you are experiencing sexual side effects with Cardivas. Ultimately, the decision between Cardivas and Nebicard should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider, taking into consideration your individual health needs and any potential side effects you may be experiencing.

I've been dealing with anxiety-induced tachycardia and my resting heart rate used to be around 100-130 with a blood pressure of 130-14070-80 for the past year. My doctor prescribed Ciplar LA 40 mg and Amitone 10 mg, which I've been taking for the past four days. I've noticed my resting heart rate has dropped to between 70-85 and my blood pressure is now around 11080. There's another option, Metoprolol 25 mg, and I'm curious if it's a better choice for me to use just for a month. What would you suggest?
For anxiety-induced tachycardia, both Ciplar LA (propranolol) 40 mg and Metoprolol 25 mg are commonly used beta-blockers to help control heart rate and blood pressure. In your case, since you have already started taking Ciplar LA 40 mg and have noticed an improvement in your resting heart rate and blood pressure within 4 days, it seems to be working well for you. Therefore, I would recommend continuing with Ciplar LA 40 mg for the next month as prescribed by your doctor. It has shown effectiveness in reducing your heart rate and maintaining a normal blood pressure range. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

I've noticed that when I'm running, my heart rate is pretty slow at about 59 bpm, but when I'm just resting, it shoots up to somewhere between 80 to 90 bpm. Is that normal? It seems a bit odd to me and I'm starting to get worried. Could it mean something's up with my heart health?
A slow heart rate during exercise can sometimes be a sign of good cardiovascular fitness. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or chest pain, it's important to consult a healthcare professional. For a faster heart rate at rest, you may consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol. The usual dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by your doctor
