For the past week I've been feeling dizzy and exhausted with occasional chest pain and frequent dizziness spells. My pulse is around 53 and I'm concerned this might be due to bradycardia. How serious is this and are there ways to treat it without needing surgery?

Question 3

I'm wondering how often I should be getting an ECG and an ECHO done. I had them both last year and everything was normal at that time. Now that I've been recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which is under control, and Im also taking a 25mg beta blocker to keep my blood pressure in check, do you think I should be repeating these tests anytime soon?

Accepted Answer

For a patient with well-managed type 2 diabetes and controlled blood pressure on a Betablocker, it is generally recommended to repeat an ECG and ECHO every 1-2 years to monitor cardiac function and assess for any changes. Since your last reports were normal and your conditions are well managed, you can discuss with your healthcare provider about scheduling these tests every 1-2 years to ensure everything remains stable.

I'm wondering if nebicard 2.5 could cause erectile dysfunction or maybe even affect sperm quality. I've heard that beta blockers might lead to ED, so I'm a bit worried. Could you shed some light on this?
