My sister's pulse rate is around 120, and she's feeling dizzy. Is this cause for concern? Should we see a doctor, or could this be something normal?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A high pulse rate of 120, especially when accompanied by dizziness, should not be ignored. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can give her a tablet of Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg to help lower her heart rate. Make sure she rests and stays hydrated.

I've been having this chest pain on the left side whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for about three months now. I got an X-ray and a CT scan with contrast done, and I've already shown the reports to a pulmonologist three times. He suggested I talk to an orthopedic specialist. I did, but all I got was some painkillers, and they haven't helped at all. Could you please advise me on what might be going on or what I should do next?
Orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm about 5 feet 3 inches and weigh 70 kg. I've been taking olmetrack 20 mg for the last year, but now my blood pressure is at 13084. I was wondering if I could switch to taking olmighty 20 mg instead, since it's cheaper. Are these two medications different in any way?
Both Olmetrack 20 mg and Olmighty 20 mg contain the same active ingredient, which is olmesartan. They belong to the same class of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and are used to treat high blood pressure. You can switch from Olmetrack 20 mg to Olmighty 20 mg as they are equivalent in terms of effectiveness. The recommended dosage for Olmighty 20 mg would be the same as Olmetrack 20 mg, which is usually once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly after switching to ensure that it remains controlled. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, please consult your healthcare provider.
