I'm experiencing shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my chest, and I've also noticed some pain in my calf muscles when I climb stairs. My heart starts beating really fast too. I've already had an echo stress test and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. What could be causing these symptoms? I'm really confused about what's going on.

I've been diagnosed with sinus arrhythmia; I didn't use to feel any skipping of heartbeats, but over the past few months, I've started experiencing it. Should I be worried that it's happening more often now, and is there something specific I should do or look out for?

Sinus arrhythmia is a condition where the heart's rhythm is irregular, usually due to changes in breathing. If you are experiencing palpitations or skipping heartbeats, it is important to consult your doctor for further evaluation. In some cases, medications like Metoprolol (25-50mg) can be prescribed to help regulate the heart rate and reduce symptoms.

I've been dealing with high BP for about 8 months now. I was taking Stamlo 5 but it didn't really get it under control. So last month, I added Telma 20 to the mix and it's helped a bit with the numbers, which are now around 180185. But lately, I've been having these episodes where I can't catch my breath for a few seconds, and it feels like my heart suddenly skips a beat. It's kind of worrying and I'm not really sure what's going on. Could this be related to my medication or is it something else?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really struggling to manage my high blood pressure and I'm feeling worried about the side effects I'm experiencing. Right now, I'm taking Amlopres AT 25 in the morning and plain Amlodipine 2.5 in the evening, but I just don't feel fresh and there's this persistent pain in my ankle. I did try switching to Metaprolol, but it only made my BP and heart rate go up. I also attempted using Telmesartan with Amlodipine, which controlled my BP, but then my heart rate increased. I'm feeling stuck and a bit lost about what to do next. My lipid profile is under control with cholesterol at 150 and triglycerides at 76, and my fasting blood sugar is 106. Could you suggest a better medication plan or any other advice?

Take Temsan AM for 15 days , and check BP after 15 days
