I'm really worried about something I came across in my medical report it mentions 'abnormal BR wave progression.' Is this something serious or dangerous? What steps should I consider taking to address or monitor this?

Abnormal ECG findings like abnormal R wave progression can indicate underlying heart conditions. It is important to further evaluate the cause of this abnormality. Treatment may involve medications such as beta blockers like Metoprolol or calcium channel blockers like Amlodipine. Dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional after a thorough evaluation. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition.

I'm a bit concerned because I just started taking Telma 20mg and today I've been feeling dizzy and really tired. Is that a normal reaction? I checked my blood pressure and it's 14092. What should I do about this?

Starting on Telma (telmisartan) 20mg can sometimes cause side effects like dizziness and fatigue, especially when your body is adjusting to the medication. These symptoms can be more noticeable when standing up quickly or during the initial days of treatment. Your current blood pressure reading of 14092 mmHg indicates that it is still elevated. Its important to monitor your symptoms and blood pressure closely. If the dizziness and fatigue persist or worsen, please contact your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms and possibly adjust your treatment plan.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having heart palpitations and his creatinine level is at 2.4. Do you have any advice or suggestions on how we can help him get better?

Heart palpitations can be concerning, especially with a high creatinine level. To help manage heart palpitations, your father can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-50mg twice a day. It is important to also address the underlying cause of the high creatinine level, which may involve medications like Lisinopril (brand name: Prinivil) at a dosage of 10-20mg once a day to protect the kidneys. Additionally, it is crucial to follow a low-sodium diet and stay hydrated. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are essential to monitor his condition.
