I'm feeling a bit worried because for the past four days, I've been taking Monotrate 10mg and have noticed an irregular heartbeat. It seems to be getting better with the medication, but it's still there. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will resolve as I continue with the Monotrate? What should I do next?

View allI'm really worried about my grandfather who's 76. He was hospitalized twice because his blood pressure went up to 200100. We have the ECG from when he was in the hospital and his prescription too. Since getting discharged, his blood pressure is fine during the day, but at night it gradually rises to somewhere between 16080 and 18090. Does the ECG indicate he's had a heart attack? Are the medications he's on appropriate?
If the ECG shows sinus rhythm with no signs of acute myocardial infarction. The medications prescribed are Amlodipine 5mg once daily and Atenolol 25mg once daily. These are appropriate medications for controlling high blood pressure. However, since your grandfather's blood pressure is still increasing during the night, a medication adjustment may be needed. I recommend consulting with the doctor who prescribed these medications to discuss the possibility of increasing the dosage or adding another medication to better control his blood pressure during the night.

Is it gas or heart attack?
Heart attack feels like pressure on chest cannot be relieved by antacids,associated with breathlessness. One can not entirely differentiate chest pain due to gas from chest pain due to heart attack based on symptoms only. You may need to visit a hospital and get evaluated by a health-care provider.

I'm feeling really tired and weak after my angioplasty. I'm also sweating a lot, and I've got these cold shivers. Walking is hard because of that, and I've noticed five black dots on the sole of my foot. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing all this?
It is post angioplasty complications.. The complications will settle within 2-3 days, if persisting cardiologist opinion is advised to the patient..
