I've been dealing with some annoying symptoms lately like this slight headache, stiff muscles around my neck, facial pain, and just feeling really tired all the time. I started taking some meds initially like amchek 5mg, then switched to amlong 5, and now I'm on omlesar 10 with nebicard 2.5mg. But for a few weeks, I stopped them, and yesterday my blood pressure shot up to 190138. So I got back on just omlesar, but my blood pressure is still pretty high at 180104. What should I do?

It seems like you are experiencing high blood pressure despite restarting omlesar. In this case, you may benefit from adding another medication to better control your blood pressure. I recommend adding a diuretic such as Lasix (furosemide) 40mg to help reduce the fluid in your body and lower your blood pressure. Please consult your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and prescription of this medication. Additionally, it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a low-sodium diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques to help manage your blood pressure.

Can a heart stent be taken out without needing bypass surgery I'm a bit worried about this and want to understand if it's possible or what the options are

Once a stent is placed, it isn‚Äôt usually removed; bypass is only considered if stent fails or blockage recurs.

I'm a bit worried about what my latest test results mean. It mentions sinus bradycardia with frequent PVCs, but no AV block or ischemic period. Also, my lipid, thyroid, kidney, and liver profiles all came back normal. I've been taking Cordarone 100. Could you explain what all this means for my health, and if there's anything specific I should be doing or watching out for?

SINUS bradycardia with frequent PVC can be managed with medication. Since you are already taking Cordarone 100, which contains Amiodarone, it is likely being used to treat the frequent PVCs. In addition to Cordarone, a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol can also be prescribed to help regulate the heart rate and reduce the PVCs. The dosage of Metoprolol can vary, but a common starting dose is around 25-50mg twice daily. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and adjust the dosage if needed.
