I've been on Metocard XL 50 for a few months now to manage my hypertension, but lately, my heart rate has been dropping to around 50-52. Could this be because of the Metocard XL 50?

Question

I'm a bit worried about the change in meds. Initially, after just taking Telma AM 40, there was swelling in the feet, and the doc switched to TELMA 40 which was alright for a while, but then my blood pressure got high again. Now they've got me on TELMIKIND 40 H S and NUMLO5 for the past 8 days. But after taking them, I start feeling really weak and lethargic just a few hours later. Is this normal side effect or should I be concerned about this change?

Question

I'm feeling really uneasy because for the past 4 months I've been having these weird jerks and palpitations in my chest that last just a couple of seconds. They come and go without any warning. It's like my heart just stops for a moment, and it's really awkward when it happens, although there's no chest pain. I exercise regularly and all my tests like ECG, 2D ECHO, HOLTER ECG, BP, FBS, and Thyroid profile came back normal. But these feelings haven't stopped and I'm scared. Could these jerks be signs of something serious like a cardiac arrest or any other heart issues? What's causing them and the palpitations? I've even felt some pain around the right side of my chest and I'm worried does this relate to cardiac problems, or is it only the left side that's dangerous?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my recent stress test result which showed mildly positive for provcable myocardial ischaemia. I'm not fully sure what this means and I'm worried about what it might mean for my heart health. Could you help me understand this a bit better and maybe suggest what preventive or corrective steps I should be looking into? I just want to make sure I'm taking care of myself in the best way possible.
