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

My mom's been feeling really heavy in her chest and super tired since like 4 in the morning today. She doesn't have any heart issues, but she does sometimes deal with gastric problems. She also has thyroid. Could this be related to that, or do you think it's something else we should be worried about? What should we do next?

Based on the symptoms described, it is possible that your mother is experiencing acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend she take an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg to help relieve the symptoms. She can take 2 tablets as needed, but not exceeding 7 tablets in 24 hours. It is also important for her to avoid spicy and acidic foods that can trigger acid reflux. Additionally, given her history of thyroid issues, it is important to ensure that her thyroid levels are well-controlled as thyroid imbalances can sometimes contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms. I recommend she follow up with her healthcare provider to discuss her symptoms and thyroid management.

I've just turned 17, and I'm trying to understand my lvef count, which is at 75. Is this something normal for someone my age? Any insights you could share would be really helpful because I'm a bit concerned.

An ejection fraction (EF) of 75% is considered normal and indicates good heart function. There is no need to worry about this result. Just continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet.
