I'm really worried about my dad. He just had angioplasty with stents put in last month, and now he's dealing with a heavy cold, runny nose, and watery eyes that wont quit. He's already on a bunch of meds for his coronary disease, so I'm hesitant about what to give him for relief. Do you think cetrizine is okay to help with the runny nose, or is there anything else you'd recommend that won't mess with his existing meds?

For treating the cold symptoms without interfering with his current medications, you can give your father cetirizine. The recommended dosage for cetirizine is 5-10mg once daily. This antihistamine will help relieve his runny nose and watery eyes without causing significant interactions with his coronary disease medications.

View allI'm feeling really concerned because my sister has been diagnosed with RBBB after an ECG, and her vitamin B12 levels are only 128. I've heard about rejunex 1500 injections and was wondering if it would be okay for her to take that. Is it safe for someone with her condition?
Rejunex 1500 injection contains Methylcobalamin which is a form of Vitamin B12. It is commonly used to treat Vitamin B12 deficiency. In this case, since your sister has a low Vitamin B12 level of 128, you can give her Rejunex 1500 injection. The usual dosage for Vitamin B12 deficiency is 1000-1500 mcg injected intramuscularly once daily for 1 week, then once weekly for 4 weeks, and then once monthly. Please consult with a healthcare professional for the appropriate dosage and administration schedule for your sister's specific condition.

I'm experiencing some pain in my shoulder and arm, and it seems to be affecting the left side of my chest too. It's making it a bit hard to breathe. My current weight is 68 kg. Can you help me figure out what this might be?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. The combination of pain in the left shoulder, arm, and chest, along with breathing problems, could be indicative of a heart issue. One common condition that presents with these symptoms is angina. I recommend you to take Aspirin 325mg immediately and call emergency services. It is important to seek medical attention promptly in such cases.

I've been taking Tazloc CT 40 for the past three weeks, but today when I checked my blood pressure in the evening, it was 150100. I'm really worried because it hasn't gone down. What could be going on?
Tazloc CT 40 contains Telmisartan 40mg and Chlorthalidone 12.5mg. If your blood pressure is still high despite taking Tazloc CT 40 for 3 weeks, you may need a higher dose or an additional medication. I recommend consulting your doctor to adjust your treatment plan.
