I've been taking Concor Cor 2.5mg for my blood pressure, but it makes my pulse drop below 60. I've started taking half a tablet because of that. Is it okay to switch to Concor Cor 1.25mg instead of splitting the 2.5mg pill?

Question

So my dad had CABG surgery on March 9, 2017, and everything seemed fine while he was in the hospital and ICU, even when we got home. But during a routine check-up on March 22, some of his meds were stopped. A couple of days later, he developed a fever around 99-100. We told our doctor, and he suggested blood and urine cultures. The urine culture came back positive with two bacteria, and one was really resistant to antibiotics. The surgeon prescribed Linospan 600 and Furadantin 200, twice and thrice daily, but the fever didn't go away. Another culture at the hospital showed negative for infection in his urine, yet his fever continued around 99-99.5. After a week, another urine culture was still negative. We tried stopping his Combiflame, and the fever went away for a couple of days, but then it returned, and we had to start Combiflame again. Why is his fever persisting despite all these medications and negative test results? Could it be something other than an infection, or are we missing something important? Any advice on what we should do next?

Question

I'm wondering about something. I had an angioplasty last year and got a stent placed. Lately, I've been experiencing these weird palpitations every night as I try to sleep, but I don't actually feel them in my chest. It's strange because they're more noticeable in my jaw. My doctor prescribed Prolomet XL 25, which I've been taking for about four months now, even though I don't have high blood pressure. I'm really curious if this is something that's going to stick around forever or if there's a way to get rid of it. What's your take on this?

Question

I'm feeling a pinching pain on the left side of my chest that's been bugging me for the past week. I originally thought it might just be gas and tried having soda with lime several times, which only relieved it briefly. Could there be something else going on, or is it really just related to gas? Could you help me figure this out?
