I've been dealing with palpitations and high blood pressure diagnosed at 140 over 90 around four months ago. They did an ECG and ECHO, and those came back normal. I was prescribed Telma 20 and Ivabradine 5mg for the BP and palpitations. I recently stopped taking Telma 20 for a few days to keep an eye on my BP, and it settled at a constant 130 over 76. Do you think I should stop taking the BP meds altogether, or is it better to keep going with them? I've also made some lifestyle and diet changes. What do you suggest?

View allI'm 75 years old and had bypass surgery in 1990. I've been told there's now a mild block in my artery, and I'm concerned about how to manage this. I'm also experiencing some breathing problems. Could you advise me on what steps I can take to address these issues?
For the mild blockage in your artery and breathing problem, you can take medications to help manage these conditions. 1. For the mild blockage in your artery, you can take a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of further blockages. 2. To improve your breathing, you can use an inhaler like Salbutamol 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your conditions and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

So I've been having this cough for the last couple of days and it's making my heart race and flutter, even when I'm trying to sleep. I got some tests done like an ECG, echo, and chest X-ray back in March. Should I be doing all those tests again? Every time I cough, it feels like my heart is either trying to jump out or like it's getting all tight, and it's really freaking me out. There's also this pain now and then, plus twitching in my feet and neck, and it's making me super anxious about my health. Is Benadryl syrup gonna help with all this? I'm also burping a lot, and my heart feels like it's pounding out of my chest. With all those tests coming back normal before, Im just wondering if I need to repeat them. And while I'm at it, what exactly is the main reason people get heart attacks? It's been like this since February, and I'm feeling really low and freaked out. My blood pressure is usually 11090 and my pulse is often above 100. I'm 25, by the way. Any ideas what's up with all this?
The fluttering and pounding sensation in your heart could be related to the increased pulse rate and coughing. Given your history of normal tests in March, it may be beneficial to consult with a doctor for a thorough evaluation. Benadryl syrup may help with some symptoms, but it is important to address the underlying cause. Considering your symptoms and history, it is advisable to try a combination of medications. You can take Benadryl syrup for cough relief and consider taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg for burping. Additionally, you can take Propranolol 10mg for heart palpitations. However, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication. The main reason for a heart attack can be due to various factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, lack of physical activity, and stress. It is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to reduce the risk of heart attacks, especially at a young age. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and management.
