I'm trying to understand the differences between Cocor 5 and Inderal 40. Are they used for the same purpose, and if so, which one is considered safer with fewer side effects?

Yes, Cocor 5 and Inderal 40 are both beta blockers used to treat high blood pressure, angina, and certain heart rhythm disorders. In terms of safety and side effects, Inderal 40 (Propranolol) is generally considered to have fewer side effects compared to Cocor 5 (Bisoprolol). Inderal 40 is often preferred in patients with certain heart conditions or anxiety disorders due to its well-established safety profile. The usual dosage for Inderal 40 is 40mg once daily, while the dosage for Cocor 5 is 5mg once daily.

I'm really concerned about my heart, as I've had a PTCA stent placed to my right coronary artery and right internal artery. But lately, I've been experiencing some wet palpitations now and again. I have Type 2 diabetes and hypertension and I'm 56 years old. Should I be worried about these palpitations, or is this somewhat normal for someone in my situation? What should I do about it?

I'm really concerned because my father just went through a TMT test and his score was 3.52 Mets. The doctor didnt recommend an angiography, but I'm not sure if we should still consider getting one. Could you help me understand what this means and whether we need to take further action?

A Mits value of 3.52 indicates a moderate risk of coronary artery disease. Since the doctor has not suggested angiography, it is likely that the risk is not high enough to warrant further invasive testing at this point. However, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations and continue with regular check-ups to monitor any changes in the condition. In the meantime, medications such as Atorvastatin 20mg and Aspirin 75mg may be prescribed to manage the risk factors for heart disease.
