I've been on Amlodipine 5mg for a couple of weeks and have started feeling tightness in my chest and like I might faint. I've had hypertension since taking Telmikind AM twice a day and I'm also on Norethisterone 10 mg. I'm really concerned about these symptoms. Could these medications be causing these side effects, and what should I do about it? Would really appreciate some guidance here.

"Based on your symptoms of tightness in the chest and fainting, it is possible that you are experiencing side effects from the Amlodipine and Telmisartan combination. These medications are commonly used to treat hypertension, but in some cases, they can cause adverse reactions. I recommend that you consult your healthcare provider to discuss alternative medications for your high blood pressure. It is important to address these symptoms promptly to avoid any complications. In the meantime, you should also monitor your blood pressure regularly and avoid any activities that could be dangerous if you experience fainting spells. I don't know the specific medication that would be suitable for you, as it would depend on your individual health profile and any underlying conditions you may have."

View allI'm a bit worried after being diagnosed with sinus tachycardia and an incomplete right bundle branch block. The doctor mentioned I should start taking trimetazidine. I'm not sure if it's really necessary or if there might be other options. Could you help me understand if I should go ahead with it?
Sinus tachycardia and Incomplete right bundle branch block are both cardiac conditions that may require treatment to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Trimetazidine is not typically used to treat these conditions. For sinus tachycardia, beta-blockers like Metoprolol can be prescribed to help slow down the heart rate. For Incomplete right bundle branch block, treatment may not be necessary unless there are symptoms or other heart conditions present. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and discuss any concerns or questions you have about your treatment plan.

I'm noticing some weird fluctuations in my heart rate. Out of nowhere, it sometimes shoots up to 90-110. Heres what Ive tracked: when Im sleeping, it varies between 65-80, and when Im resting, it's around 70-90. But it gets to 90-110 when Im stressed. Climbing up to my apartment on the 3rd floor gets it to 110-120, a 5-minute walk pushes it to 100, and a 30-minute walk averages at 140 according to my smartwatch. After an hour walk, my watch shows an average of 165. And when I skip for just 5 minutes, my heart rate jumps to 140. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Ive stopped exercising because it seems like my heart rate goes up too much. I'm 32, by the way.
Based on the information you provided, your heart rate seems to be fluctuating quite a bit. It is normal for your heart rate to increase during physical activity, stress, or even when climbing stairs. However, consistently high heart rates during rest or sleep could indicate an underlying issue. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to incorporate moderate-intensity exercises like brisk walking or swimming into your routine and monitor your heart rate closely. If you experience any chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, please seek immediate medical attention

My dad's been told to take Orcibest because his heart is beating a bit slowly. How often should he be taking it, and is it alright to keep going with it even though his heart rate is up to 99 now?
