I'm really curious about something. I took 20mg of tadalafil about four days ago and noticed that my usual heart rate, which is in the 70s or 80s, has dropped to the 60s. Could tadalafil be causing this change in heart rate? Should I be concerned?

Tadalafil, commonly known as Cialis, is not typically known to directly reduce heart rate as a common side effect. However, it is possible for some individuals to experience changes in heart rate as a result of using tadalafil. In your case, the decrease in heart rate from the 70-80s range to the 60s range could be a potential effect of tadalafil. It is important to monitor your heart rate and if you have any concerns or experience any other unusual symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried because I have diabetes and this morning I felt a slight pain on the left side of my chest. I went to the hospital, and they did an ECG. The report said "Borderline," but it was unconfirmed. The doctor told me it's not a huge problem but that I need to watch my diet and keep tabs on my heart health. I'm a little confused and can't help but worry about what all this means. Could you help me understand? Ive been losing sleep over this.

I'm a 30-year-old male and I've been having some trouble with my BP medication. About a year ago, my blood pressure spiked to 175120 and my doctor prescribed Telma 40 along with another medicine for a week. Over time, I stopped taking Telma 40 and hadn't used it for the last 3 months. Recently, I switched to Prolomet XL 25, but it doesn't seem to suit me. What should I do?

It seems like you are experiencing some difficulties with Prolomet XL 25. Since Telma 40 worked well for you in managing your blood pressure, I would recommend you to consult your doctor for a prescription of Telma 40 again. Additionally, you can also consider adding a diuretic like Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg to your current medication regimen to help control your blood pressure more effectively. Remember to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of these medications.
