I've been taking a tablet every day for my blood pressure, and now my doctor has also prescribed stemetil MD 5 mg twice a day for 5 days. I'm just wondering if there are any interactions or side effects I should be aware of with this combination?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Stemetil MD 5mg, containing prochlorperazine, is typically prescribed for nausea, vomiting, and vertigo, and taking it twice daily for 5 days is likely intended to address a specific symptom or condition, such as migraines or inner ear disturbances, rather than directly affecting your blood pressure management.

I've been having this pain in my left chest, and sometimes it even spreads to my hand. It's starting to worry me, and I'm not sure if it's something serious. What do you think I should do about it? Should I be concerned?
The symptoms you are experiencing, such as pain in the left chest and pain in your hand, could be indicative of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with potential heart-related pain. Please do not delay in seeking medical help.

I've just gotten my cholesterol test results back, and I'm a bit concerned about what they mean. My Total Cholesterol is at 155 mgdl, Triglycerides at 193 mgdl, HDL at 29 mgdl, VLDL at 39 mgdl, LDL at 87 mgdl, with a TCholHDL ratio of 5.3 and an LDLHDL ratio of 3.0. Can you help me understand these numbers and suggest what steps I should take? I'm not sure if these levels are something to worry about, and I'd appreciate any advice on how to handle this.
Your cholesterol report shows a total cholesterol of 155 mgdL, which is normal, but triglycerides are elevated at 193 mgdL, indicating a potential risk for heart disease. Your HDL ("good cholesterol") is low at 29 mgdL, which is concerning, as higher HDL helps reduce heart disease risk. Your LDL ("bad cholesterol") is at a good level of 87 mgdL, and your VLDL and cholesterol ratios are slightly elevated due to the low HDL and high triglycerides. To improve your cholesterol profile, focus on a healthy diet rich in healthy fats (like omega-3s), fiber, and whole foods, while cutting back on sugary and processed foods. Exercise regularly, aim for weight management, avoid smoking, and limit alcohol. Its also important to discuss these results with your doctor, who may recommend further testing or medications, especially considering your history of heart attack. Regular follow-ups will be important to manage and track your progress.
