I'm really concerned about my mom. She had her MVR surgery back in December 2011, and for the past year and a half, she's been paralyzed. Recently, her INR levels were all over the place and hit 6, so we stopped her dose for three days. We've restarted with acitrom 2, but on November 10th her INR was 1.99 and PT was 20. I'm trying to figure out what the right dosage should be for her now. Any advice would be really helpful.

Regarding your mother's case, based on her current situation with an INR of 1.99 and PT of 20, the appropriate dose adjustment for her would be to continue with Acitrom 2, but with a slight increase in dosage. I recommend increasing the dose to Acitrom 2.5 to help stabilize her INR levels more effectively. It's important to monitor her INR levels regularly to ensure they stay within the target range.

View allMy dad's been dealing with high blood pressure for about five years now, and he's been taking CILACAR 5 MG every day. For the last couple of days, his BP has been at 10050. Should he keep taking his medication or do we need to make any changes because of this?
A blood pressure reading of 10050 is considered low and may be a cause for concern, especially if your father is experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting. In this situation, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to medication. However, if your father is not experiencing any symptoms, he can skip the dose of CILACAR - 5 MG for that day. It is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly and consult with his doctor for further guidance.

I've been experiencing this strange sensation for the last two weeks where it feels like my heart is skipping a beat or just stops briefly, and then it goes back to normal. It can happen maybe 5 to 10 times throughout the day, and it's pretty random. Is this something I should be worried about?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of irregular heartbeats, also known as palpitations. In this case, it is important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. However, if you are looking for over-the-counter options to help manage your symptoms, you can try taking magnesium supplements. Magnesium can help regulate your heart rhythm and reduce the frequency of palpitations. You can take magnesium supplements such as "Nature Made Magnesium 250 mg" once daily. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.

I'm curious about what steps to take next for my health. I've been on medication for 10 months now dealing with mild cholesterol and hypertension, and I'm also diabetic. My LDL is currently 68 mgdl. The medications I'm taking include Metformin 500 mg, Ramipril 2.5 mg, Rosuvastatin, Aspirin, and Metoprolol Succinate 25 mg. I haven't done an angiography yet, and I'm wondering if that's necessary or if there are other actions I should consider for better health management. What would you suggest?
Based on your current medications and medical history, it seems like you are managing your hypertension, diabetes, and cholesterol levels effectively. Since you have a mildly positive TMT result and have not undergone angiography yet, it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. You may consider discussing the possibility of undergoing angiography to assess the status of your coronary arteries. Depending on the findings, your healthcare provider may recommend adjustments to your current medication regimen or additional interventions to optimize your cardiovascular health. In the meantime, continue taking your medications as prescribed: - Metformin 500mg for diabetes - Ramipril 2.5mg for hypertension - Rosuvastatin for cholesterol - Aspirin for cardiovascular protection - Metoprolol succinate 25mg for hypertension Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your progress and make any necessary changes to your treatment plan.
