I'm really worried about my dad, he's 87 and had an angioplasty a few years ago. We just found out he has mild bradycardia. The doctor gave him Flavedon MR, but now he's sleeping almost all day and feeling a bit dizzy. Should we keep him on this medication, or is there something else we should try?

YES..patient has to continue same medicaton.. No need to stop flavedon, mild bradycardia is normal in post angioplasty patients.For his vertigo i would recommend tab vertin 8mg thrice daily,orally after food for atleadt 2 weeks.

View allI'm 30 years old and my blood pressure is 130100 with a pulse rate of 90. I've been experiencing palpitations constantly and it's making it hard for me to sleep due to anxiety. What could be causing this, and what steps can I take to address it?
Your blood pressure of 130100 is slightly elevated, and your pulse rate of 90 is also on the higher side. Feeling palpitations and having difficulty sleeping due to anxiety can be concerning. I recommend you start with lifestyle modifications such as reducing caffeine intake, practicing relaxation techniques, and regular exercise. For your palpitations and anxiety, you can take Propranolol 10mg twice a day to help with both symptoms. Additionally, you can consider taking Lorazepam 0.5mg at bedtime to help with sleep and anxiety. It's important to follow up with a healthcare provider before starting any medication.

I'm taking 40 mg of Inderal daily since August 2019, but I switched to 20 mg last month. My pulse seems okay now. I also have thyroid issues, but they're under control at the moment. Could you guide me on how to safely stop taking Inderal?
take tab inderal 10 mg for another 6 months and then stop gradually..

I'm really struggling to get a full night's sleep. Even if I go to bed around 12 or 1, I'll still wake up by 3 or 4 in the morning. Plus, while I'm sleeping, I end up sweating a lot just under my head. I've got this constant worry in the back of my mind that I'm going to have a heart attack. Is there something wrong?
troponin T ,ecg is advised and a physician opinion.
