I've been taking Tazloc 40 mg and Nebicard 2.5 mg every day, but I've started having a lot of congestion and trouble with my breathing. I decided to stop them, and now the side effects are gone. Between these two medications, which one could be causing these issues?

Out of Tazloc 40 mg and Nebicard 2.5 mg, the medication more likely to cause congestion and breathing issues is Nebicard 2.5 mg. Nebicard is a brand name for Nebivolol, which is a beta-blocker commonly associated with side effects such as bronchospasm and worsening of respiratory conditions in some individuals. It is good that you have stopped the medications and the side effects have resolved.

I'm really concerned about some recent findings on my coronary vessels. I've got an 80% lesion in the LAD vessel from the proximal to the mid-long segment, and then a 70% lesion in the distal long segment. Plus, there's a 90% lesion at the ostium of the D1 small vessel. On top of that, my RCA vessel has a total 100% blockage, but it's still somehow filling via bridging collaterals and retrogradely through the left coronary injection. Should I be worried about these percentages and the way my heart is compensating? What kind of treatment might be recommended in this situation?

The condition you have described is quite serious and involves multiple blockages in your coronary arteries. To address the blockages, a combination of medications and procedures may be necessary. For the 80% lesion in the ostial portion of the LAD 3 vessel, a stent placement procedure may be considered to improve blood flow. Similarly, for the 70% lesion in the proximal to mid long segment of the LAD 3 vessel, another stent placement or angioplasty may be recommended. The 80% lesion in the distal long segment of the LAD 3 vessel may also require intervention such as stenting. For the D1 small vessel with a 90% lesion, a stent placement or angioplasty may be necessary to restore blood flow. The RCA vessel with a 100% lesion in the mid portion may require more aggressive treatment such as bypass surgery. In the meantime, medications like aspirin, clopidogrel, statins, beta-blockers, and ACE inhibitors may be prescribed to manage your condition and reduce the risk of further complications. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is crucial to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I'm feeling a bit worried about this uneasy sensation in my chest that comes and goes. I know I tend to have hypertension, although my blood pressure is currently at 12878. I'm already on medication for high blood pressure and high triglyceride levels, but my latest ECG showed something about sinus arrhythmia, even though it mentioned no significant abnormalities. Can you help me understand what this means and if there's something I should be doing?

You are experiencing chest discomfort and have a history of hypertension and high triglyceride levels. Your current blood pressure is 12878 and your ECG shows sinus arrhythmia with no significant abnormality. Considering your medical history, it is important to continue with your current medications for high blood pressure and high triglyceride levels. In addition, to address the uneasy feeling in your chest, you can take a medication like Ranitidine (Zantac) 150mg twice daily before meals to help with any potential acid reflux or gastritis symptoms that may be causing your discomfort. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
