View allI've recently quit smoking, but I'm still experiencing chest pain. I had a stress test done, and it came back normal. Could you suggest a doctor who might be able to help me with this?
Given your history of smoking and persistent chest pain despite a normal stress test, consult a pulmonologist or a cardiologist to rule out underlying conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary embolism, or cardiac issues like coronary artery disease or pericarditis; they will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and test results to determine the cause of your chest pain and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

I've been dealing with palpitations and high blood pressure diagnosed at 140 over 90 around four months ago. They did an ECG and ECHO, and those came back normal. I was prescribed Telma 20 and Ivabradine 5mg for the BP and palpitations. I recently stopped taking Telma 20 for a few days to keep an eye on my BP, and it settled at a constant 130 over 76. Do you think I should stop taking the BP meds altogether, or is it better to keep going with them? I've also made some lifestyle and diet changes. What do you suggest?
Yes you can stop the drug and check your BP daily for 2 weeks if its maintained normal,you can pause the drug an dcontinue healthy life style

I've been checking my pulse readings on my device this morning and I'm a bit worried. Should I be concerned about it? Im taking Olmezest 40, Zyloric 100, and S Numlo 2.5. Do those affect my pulse, or is there something else I should be aware of?
Your pulse reading is an important vital sign that can provide insight into your heart health. A normal resting heart rate for adults is typically between 60 to 100 beats per minute. If your pulse reading is consistently outside of this range, it may be a cause for concern and you should consult with a healthcare professional. As for the medications you mentioned, Olmezest 40 is a brand name for olmesartan, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Zyloric 100 is a brand name for allopurinol, often prescribed for conditions like gout. S Numlo 2.5 is a brand name for amlodipine, which is also used to treat high blood pressure. It's important to take these medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider and to monitor your pulse readings regularly. If you have any concerns about your pulse or overall health, it's best to seek medical advice promptly.
