I'm really worried about someone who recovered from COVID three weeks ago but is still dealing with a persistent cough and some chest congestion. What concerns me more is that just yesterday, their heart rate shot up to 117, and even though it's come down to around 95 after taking one Evapump tab, I'm unsure if it's safe to use this medication whenever their pulse rate spikes. They tested negative for COVID twice with RT PCR recently. About two weeks ago, there was another incident where their pulse rate went all the way up to 157, with a blood pressure reading of 131 over 82. Can you let me know if these fluctuations are something to be concerned about and if this medication is the right way to manage it?

View allI'm really worried about my heart's LVEF, which is at 34%. I'm 48 years old and not dealing with sugar, blood pressure, or obesity. I'm trying to understand what I can do for treatment and how this might impact how long I can live. Can you provide some guidance on this?
With an LVEF of 34%, it is important to focus on medications that can help improve heart function. One common medication used is Carvedilol, which is a beta-blocker. The recommended dosage for Carvedilol in this case would be 6.25mg to 25mg twice daily. Additionally, an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril can also be beneficial. The typical dosage for Lisinopril would be 5mg to 40mg once daily. It is difficult to predict an exact survival time as it depends on various factors such as overall health, adherence to treatment, and lifestyle choices. However, with proper medical management and lifestyle modifications, individuals with an LVEF of 34% can live for many years. Regular follow-ups with a cardiologist are essential to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.

I've been experiencing some weird sensations when I wake up early in the morning. It feels like something is fluttering in my chest or heart, and I get really uneasy with mild breathlessness and sometimes feel light-headed. My pulse seems to stay between 60 to 80, and my oxygen level is usually at 99, but I find myself swallowing suddenly and taking deep breaths without realizing it. My blood pressure was 9762 the first time I checked and 10869 the second time, with a pulse of 73. I had an ECG, 2D echo, and troponin tests done about a month ago, and they were all normal. I dont have any thyroid issues, and my lipid profile and haemogram were also normal. Even my chest X-ray from a month ago didn't show anything out of the ordinary. Now and then, I have a mild cough, and my lips get really dry when I wake up. I even heard a mild wheezing sound when I laughed. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing these sensations?
since all your tests are normal, kindly don't worry

I'm trying to figure out which medication I should take to get my blood pressure under control. I'm 105 kgs and 6 feet tall. My blood pressure reading is 140 over 80, and I'm wondering if that's considered severe. Could you recommend something for immediate relief?
To get your blood pressure under control, considering your weight and height, you can start with a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. This medication helps to relax the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. A blood pressure reading of 14080 is considered prehypertension, and it is important to take steps to lower it to prevent it from becoming high blood pressure.
