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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allWhy are young people who are fit suddenly having heart attacks? It's really worrying because even those who keep up with their fitness are facing these heart problems at such a young age. Can you explain why this is happening and suggest some preventive measures we can take against this serious issue?
There are several factors that can contribute to this, including genetics, lifestyle choices, and underlying health conditions. Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking, managing stress, and getting regular check-ups with your healthcare provider. In terms of medication, aspirin can be used as a preventive measure for heart attacks. Low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) taken daily can help reduce the risk of heart attacks in high-risk individuals. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication regimen.

I'm really worried about my dad. He had two angioplasties earlier this year, and his doctor mentioned there's another vein blockage that might need treatment in the future, like 1-2 years from now. But now he's having pain again, and the doctor says we need to operate right away. I'm just wondering if it's safe to delay this procedure so I can get a second opinion from another doctor. Does it sound too risky to wait a little longer?
It is important to prioritize your dad's health and follow the advice of his current doctor. To manage the pain and prevent further complications, your dad can take medications like Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg once daily and Aspirin 81mg once daily to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. However, it is crucial to consult with his doctor before making any decisions regarding postponing the angioplasty procedure.

Is peanut butter good for high blood pressure?
Peanut butter has fiber and proteins which are healthy and few studies showed that it can reduce mean diastolic blood pressure. And as long as they don't contain hydrogenated fat, nut butters including peanut butter won't cause problems for your cholesterol levels too.
