I'm having some issues with my medication. I was prescribed Dytor 5 tablets because I have MVP and moderate MR, but every time I take them, I start feeling really drowsy, my hands turn reddish, and my heart starts pounding. Initially, my doctor advised one tablet daily, but when I mentioned these symptoms, he suggested increasing the dosage to 12 tablets a day. However, Im still feeling dizzy all the time. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? What should I do?

Its better to switch to another tablet but better to rule out further why you are getting such symptoms and give right treatment

View allI'm taking Betacap TR 40 in the morning, but my BP is still high and can't be controlled. I've been feeling dizzy for a few days, and yesterday I had a root canal done. Today, my blood pressure is 150110, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what to do next?
I can't know the exact reason for your high blood pressure without a proper examination, but considering your symptoms and recent dental procedure, it is possible that the pain and stress from the root canal treatment may have contributed to the elevated blood pressure. I would recommend you to continue taking Betacap TR 40 as prescribed, and also consider adding an additional medication like Telma 40 (Telmisartan) once daily to help control your blood pressure. Additionally, try to manage your stress levels, get an adequate amount of rest, and follow a healthy diet low in salt and saturated fats. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 50 and has been dealing with some health issues for the last ten days. He fainted last Saturday and his blood pressure dropped to 9363, with a fever of 102F. Our regular doctor gave him paracetamol, but then the same thing happened again on Sunday. We rushed him to another doctor who found moderate pericardial effusion and admitted him to the ICUU. They ended up putting in a temporary pacemaker because his pulse rate was falling below 50 bpm. It seemed to help, but then after they removed the pacemaker, his atrial fibrillation was varying quite a bit. The doctor adjusted his medication, and now the AF is still shifting between 110 and 130. They mentioned something about fluid dissolving, but I'm not sure what the next steps should be. Any advice on how we should proceed?
It sounds like your father has been through a lot with the pericardial effusion and subsequent atrial fibrillation. It's good to hear that 90% of the fluid has been dissolved. To continue managing the atrial fibrillation, the doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg twice daily) to help control the heart rate. Additionally, blood thinners like Warfarin (2.5-5mg once daily) may be prescribed to prevent blood clots. It's important to monitor his heart rate and rhythm regularly and follow up with the doctor for further evaluation and management.
