I've noticed my heart rate drops to around 41-45 when I'm sleeping, and I'm a bit worried about it. I'm currently taking Ivabradine, 5mg twice a day. During the day, my heart rate is generally between 85-90, and it goes up to 105-110 while I'm walking. I started on Ivabradine because my heart rate would hit 150 with just minimal exertion. Is it normal for my heart rate to drop like that while I'm asleep, or should I be concerned?

A heart rate dropping to 41-45 while sleeping can be concerning, especially if you are already on Ivabradine for high heart rate during the day. Since Ivabradine is a medication that helps lower heart rate, it is important to monitor your heart rate closely. In your case, since your heart rate during the day is around 85-90 and 105-110 while walking after taking Ivabradine, it seems like the medication is working to lower your heart rate effectively. However, a heart rate dropping significantly during sleep may warrant further evaluation. I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to determine if any adjustments to your medication dosage or timing are needed. It's important to ensure that your heart rate remains within a safe range even during sleep.

View allI'm a 30-year-old guy, and my LDL is 110 while my triglycerides are at 264. The doctor put me on this medication, Rozavel F 5, which is a statin and fenofibrate combo. I'm just wondering if it's safe to take both of these together. What should I be aware of?
Yes, it is generally safe to take a statin like Rozavel F 5 (Rosuvastatin) along with fenofibrate for lowering LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The combination can be effective in managing high cholesterol levels. The usual dosage of Rozavel F 5 is 1 tablet daily. However, it is important to follow your doctor's advice and monitor for any potential side effects.

I'm taking Betacap TR 40 in the morning, but my BP is still high and can't be controlled. I've been feeling dizzy for a few days, and yesterday I had a root canal done. Today, my blood pressure is 150110, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what to do next?
I can't know the exact reason for your high blood pressure without a proper examination, but considering your symptoms and recent dental procedure, it is possible that the pain and stress from the root canal treatment may have contributed to the elevated blood pressure. I would recommend you to continue taking Betacap TR 40 as prescribed, and also consider adding an additional medication like Telma 40 (Telmisartan) once daily to help control your blood pressure. Additionally, try to manage your stress levels, get an adequate amount of rest, and follow a healthy diet low in salt and saturated fats. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
