I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She's been dealing with high blood pressure, and it was at 160100 before she started taking Aginalat, which thankfully brought it down to around 12590. Her X-ray showed her heart is slightly enlarged, and she's got some swelling in her legs. Our doctor just recommended she start taking Aquazide 12.5mg in the morning. Since both medications are for high blood pressure and the swelling, I'm wondering if it's okay for her to take them at the same time? Could it possibly be risky like making her blood pressure drop too low?

If she is already taking Aginal-AT for high blood pressure and her doctor has now prescribed Aquazide 12.5mg for swelling and high blood pressure, it is generally safe to take both medications together as long as they are taken as prescribed. Both medications work in different ways to help control blood pressure and reduce swelling. The usual dosing for Aquazide 12.5mg is 1 tablet once a day. Taking both medications at the same time (1-0-0) should not harm her health or cause her blood pressure to drop too low. However, it is important to monitor her blood pressure regularly and report any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or weakness to her doctor. Additionally, her doctor may adjust the dosage or timing of the medications if needed based on her response.

View allI've been feeling this odd sensation when I'm sitting down, like there's a push and pull throughout my body matched with my heartbeat. It's like my heart is beating at a normal pace but with a lot of force. I can also see my heartbeat in my stomach area. Plus, I've been having some discomfort in my chest. Both my echo and TMT came back normal, so I'm kind of confused about what's going on. What might be causing this, and what type of doctor should I talk to about it?

I'm really worried because I've been having this chest pain for the last 40 days. It used to be constant, but now it just comes and goes. I feel this heaviness in my left chest, and then it moves to the right. Sometimes there's this sharp pinch that lasts like two seconds, and I'm also burping a lot when I sit down. I've already done an ECG, which I've attached. Can you give me any advice or suggest any medication?
Based on your symptoms and ECG findings, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, considering the description of your pain and symptoms, it could also be related to acid reflux or gastritis. I recommend starting with an antacid medication like **Omeprazole** 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take **Simethicone** for relief from burping. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
