My dad's been diagnosed with diabetes and now it turns out three of his heart valves are blocked. When I talked to the doctors, they mentioned the situation is beyond what bypass surgery can fix. I'm really worried and unsure about what to do next. Could you give me some guidance on this?

View allI'm taking Metocard XL 25, but recently switched to Metocard XL 12.5, and I've noticed a rash on my chest and hand. It's painful. A while back, when I was on Inderal LA, I had a similar rash. My cardiologist thinks it might be a side effect from the medication and suggested I get some tests done. Could I be allergic to both of these beta blockers?
It is possible to have an allergic reaction or side effects from beta blockers, including Metocard XL (metoprolol) and Inderal LA (propranolol), which can manifest as rashes and pain in the affected areas. Since you experienced similar symptoms with both medications, its important to follow your cardiologist's advice and undergo the recommended tests to confirm the cause of the rash. In the meantime, discuss alternative medications or treatment options with your cardiologist to manage your condition without causing allergic reactions.

I'm trying to make sense of my Echo Report, and it's causing me a bit of concern. It mentions things like a normal LV with normal systolic function and no segmental wall motion abnormalities, which I think sounds good. However, what got my attention was the mention of mild PAH and a mild TR. I'm a bit worried if the fast heart rate during the test, which was likely due to my anxiety, might have affected the results and led to a possible misdiagnosis of PAH. I mean, I haven't really had any symptoms other than a brief episode of PVC and sometimes a slightly fast heart rate. My resting rate stays between 50-65 BPM. I'm hoping for a little clarity on whether these findings are something to be concerned about. Can fast heart rate really make a difference in diagnosis, or am I misunderstanding things here?

I've been having this stabbing chest pain for the past couple of days, especially when I laugh or cough. I've already tried taking Rantac and Gelusil, but it hasn't helped at all. It's making me feel really uneasy. Can you tell me what's going on or what I should do?
