I'm dealing with some chest congestion and mild pain, and my doctor has put me on Rosuvas for high cholesterol and Metaprolol for blood pressure. They've also prescribed Myospaz for the pain if I need it. Is it safe to take Myospaz alongside Metaprolol and Rosuvas?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, you can take myospaz along with metaprolol and Rosuvas. Myospaz contains paracetamol and dicyclomine which can help relieve pain and discomfort. The usual dosage for myospaz is 1-2 tablets every 6-8 hours as needed for pain. Just make sure to follow the recommended dosage and frequency as advised by your doctor.

View allI'm a bit concerned because I was on medication for blood pressure until November, but stopped after my doctor said my BP levels were normal. It's been fine for the past five months, but now I notice my home readings are at 13898. I've had 500 ml of beer each day for the last two days before this reading. Should I be worried about this change, or is there something I can try before considering going back on medication?
It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially after noticing an increase like 13898. Since you have a history of high blood pressure and recent alcohol consumption, it's advisable to take action to lower your blood pressure. You can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can consider taking medication again as prescribed by your doctor to help control your blood pressure. If these measures do not lower your blood pressure, it's essential to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my father's condition. He's been dealing with coronary heart disease for about 4 years now and we've already tried various treatments and seen local doctors here in Pontianak, Indonesia. The problem is, he got really traumatized by the high doses or hard drugs prescribed to him, so now we're mainly relying on some herbal remedies like this red juice from Papua called Kuansu. It seems to help a bit, but not for long. A few doctors have mentioned that he might need a ring or bypass operation, but that's honestly really tough for us financially. I'm curious if there's any alternative treatment for coronary heart disease that you could suggest, especially considering our situation.
In cases where medication and herbal remedies have not provided sufficient improvement for coronary heart disease, and surgical options like stents or bypass surgery are not feasible due to economic constraints, another alternative treatment option to consider is medical therapy. Medications such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) to lower cholesterol, Aspirin to reduce blood clotting, and Metoprolol to manage blood pressure and heart rate can be beneficial in managing coronary heart disease. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate medication regimen and dosage for your father's specific condition.

I've been really worried about my heart ever since last year when I started having these chest and left arm pains. I got a TMT and echo done back then, and they showed everything was normal, but I'm still having these pains out of nowhere. It's like I'm always scared I'm gonna have a heart attack. Do you think I should get checked again, or could this be something else altogether?
Since your TMT and echo tests were normal last year, it is less likely to be related to a heart condition. It is possible that your symptoms are more related to anxiety and panic attacks. I recommend discussing with your doctor about the possibility of starting an anti-anxiety medication such as Sertraline (Zoloft) at a low dose initially, along with counseling or therapy to address your fears and anxiety. Additionally, you can consider taking a low dose of Propranolol (Inderal) as needed for chest pain and palpitations. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
