My dad's been dealing with high blood pressure for about five years now, and he's been taking CILACAR 5 MG every day. For the last couple of days, his BP has been at 10050. Should he keep taking his medication or do we need to make any changes because of this?

A blood pressure reading of 10050 is considered low and may be a cause for concern, especially if your father is experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting. In this situation, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to medication. However, if your father is not experiencing any symptoms, he can skip the dose of CILACAR - 5 MG for that day. It is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly and consult with his doctor for further guidance.

I'm really concerned about my dad's heart health. He had a mild heart attack back in 1995 but never went through any angiography. He seemed fine up until December 2021, when a routine check-up revealed he has aortic stenosis. It's a bit confusing because he doesn't have any symptoms like breathlessness, and his cholesterol levels are normal. He's been on Ecosprin Gold 10 since 2014, but now another cardiologist is suggesting he switches to Ecosprin AV 7510. I'm just wondering, is that change in medication okay? I really need some expert advice on this.

Yes its ok no problem you can use ecospirin av ,follow your doctors advice

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 my husband's health lately. He's been experiencing sharp chest pain in the middle of his chest whenever he does cardio, but it stops as soon as he takes a break. This all started after he slept in a wrong position for about an hour. We're a bit unsure whether to consult a cardiologist or a pulmonologist. Could you provide some guidance on what might be causing this issue and which specialist we should reach out to?
