I've been having this burning sensation in the upper back, right at the center, since this morning. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure if it's something serious or if I'm overthinking it. Could it be a sign of something I should be worried about, or is it just something that happens sometimes? Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.

View allI'm trying to figure out which beta blocker is better for dealing with anxiety and arrhythmia between propranolol and metoprolol succinate. Could you help me understand the differences? I'm curious if one is more effective than the other or has fewer side effects. Can you advise on what might be best for me?
Regarding anxiety and arrhythmia, both propranolol and metoprolol succinate are commonly used beta blockers. However, propranolol is typically preferred for anxiety due to its additional effects on reducing physical symptoms of anxiety such as tremors and palpitations. On the other hand, metoprolol succinate is often preferred for arrhythmias due to its specific effects on the heart's electrical activity. For anxiety, propranolol is usually prescribed at a dose of 20-40mg taken 2-3 times daily as needed. For arrhythmias, metoprolol succinate is typically prescribed at a dose of 25-100mg once daily. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate medication and dosage for your specific condition.

My aunt had bypass surgery and is on Acitrom 2mg. The doctor warned that mixing other meds with Acitrom could cause serious side effects. Now another doctor prescribed Amifru 40mg for her leg pain. Will there be any issues if she takes both together?
no problem you can take.

I'm really concerned about my dad's health right now. A couple of years ago, he had bypass surgery and brain stenting, and he's been doing okay since then. But I've noticed that his pulse rate sometimes jumps to somewhere between 55 and 58 while he's resting and it goes even higher, to about 70 or 80, when hes walking. When hes sitting, it mostly remains at 55 to 58, whereas it used to be above 65. His blood pressure is 11570, and hes on a few medications like metosartan 50, clopivas 150, atorva 40, and glycomet 500. Should I be worried about these changes? He's not showing any symptoms or anything, but with the ongoing corona situation, we're hesitant to rush to the doctor for an ECG. Could this be normal, or is it something we need to look into?
His pulse rate dropping to 55-58 while resting and 70-80 after walking, with most of the time sitting at 55-58, is slightly lower than usual. Given his medical history of bypass surgery and brain stenting, along with the medications he is currently taking (metosartan 50, clopivas 150, atorva 40, and glycomet 500), it is important to monitor his heart rate closely. Considering he is feeling fine with no other symptoms, it may not be an immediate cause for concern. However, it would be advisable to consult with his healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider discussing with his doctor about adjusting the dosage of metosartan 50 to help regulate his pulse rate within a normal range.
