My mom's been having issues with her high BP lately. She was on Telsartan 50 earlier, and then the doctor switched her to Amlip 5 about four months ago. It seemed okay at first, but now her BP is getting out of hand again. I'm really worried and wondering what could be causing this. Could it be that Amlip 5 isn't as effective for her as Telsartan was, or could something else be affecting her BP levels?

View allI'm a 75-year-old man and I'm feeling a bit worried. Back in 1977, I had a T-wave inversion and recently, I developed postural hypotension. My cardiologist checked my ECG, 2D echo, and TMT, and everything seemed normal except for the old T-wave inversion in V4, V5, and V6. He prescribed me to take Deplatt CV once a day, which I've been doing since May 2017. Lately, I've come across some pretty scary stuff about clopidogrel on the internet, and it has me feeling anxious. Could you please let me know if it's really safe for me?

I've been feeling really off latelyI'm a 50-year-old woman, and for the past little while, it feels like my heart is skipping a beat all the time. I've got high blood pressure and thyroid issues that I'm managing, but this heart thing is worrying me a lot. I went for a check-up two days ago, but I'm still feeling uneasy. Could it be something serious, or maybe something related to my medications or conditions? What should I do next? Im feeling a bit anxious about it.

I've been watching this show on Hotstar called Human, and it got me thinking. They talk about a drug named S93R that's supposedly used for heart disease. I'm curious and a bit worrieddoes this drug actually exist, or is it something completely made up for the show? Could you let me know if there's any real information about S93R?
I don't know about a drug called S93R. It seems to be a fictional drug created for the purpose of the show "Human" on Hotstar.
