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?

View allI'm taking Metocard XL 25, but recently switched to Metocard XL 12.5, and I've noticed a rash on my chest and hand. It's painful. A while back, when I was on Inderal LA, I had a similar rash. My cardiologist thinks it might be a side effect from the medication and suggested I get some tests done. Could I be allergic to both of these beta blockers?
It is possible to have an allergic reaction or side effects from beta blockers, including Metocard XL (metoprolol) and Inderal LA (propranolol), which can manifest as rashes and pain in the affected areas. Since you experienced similar symptoms with both medications, its important to follow your cardiologist's advice and undergo the recommended tests to confirm the cause of the rash. In the meantime, discuss alternative medications or treatment options with your cardiologist to manage your condition without causing allergic reactions.

I'm experiencing this pinching needle-like pain mainly in my left arm, back, left nipple, and even my left leg. It's really random and just comes and goes. Should I be worried that this might be related to a heart problem?
These symptoms could potentially be related to a heart issue, such as angina. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 81mg once daily to help prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack. If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately.

I'm really concerned about the results of my ECG. It mentioned something about Interior Ischemia and an abnormal T wave. I'm not exactly sure what that means or how serious it is. Could you tell me what the best treatment options are for this situation? Should I be worried?
For Inferior Ischemia with abnormal T-wave on ECG, treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause, such as coronary artery disease, and may include medications like beta blockers, nitrates, and antiplatelet agents, as well as lifestyle changes, and potentially invasive procedures like angioplasty or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), under the guidance of a cardiologist.
