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.

View allI'm having this issue where my heart seems to race and my hands go numb. It gets really intense, like my heartbeat skyrockets, especially at night. Last night it happened again, and it's not the first time it also occurred about 15 days ago. I got an ECG done, and while my heart rate was really fast, my blood pressure was normal. What's going on here? Why is this happening to me?

I'm a 37-year-old guy and I've been dealing with anxiety for a few years now, which makes my hands sweat and sometimes I get chest pains that last for seconds or minutes. I've been on Gudpress AM 50 for the past six months, but it makes my face feel tight for about six hours after taking it. I stopped taking it two days ago, but my blood pressure has been around 150100 and 14090 in this time. Is there another blood pressure medication I can try? Before Gudpress AM 50, I was taking Cinod 10. Any advice would be great.
It sounds like you are experiencing side effects from Gudpress AM 50 (which contains Telmisartan and Amlodipine) such as tightness on your face. Since you are also dealing with anxiety symptoms and high blood pressure, you can consider switching to a different medication for your blood pressure. I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting a different medication such as Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) at a suitable dosage to help manage your blood pressure without causing unwanted side effects. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that can be effective in treating high blood pressure and has a lower risk of causing facial tightness compared to Amlodipine. Remember to consult with your doctor for a proper evaluation and prescription adjustment based on your individual health needs.

I've got a pretty long medical history with congenital heart disease, two open-heart surgeries, and a pacemaker implanted because of atrial fibrillation. My thyroid levels are low, and I'm on medications like Cordarone and beta blockers. It's been rough over the last year with this intense pounding sensation over my nose and super high blood pressure that just won't get under control. I've tried all the check-ups I can think of. What could possibly be causing this uncontrollable high blood pressure, and what can I do about it?
Uncontrollable high blood pressure can be challenging to manage, especially with your complex medical history. Since you are already on Cordarone, a Beta Blocker, and thyroid medication, one option to consider adding is an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril. The recommended dosage for Lisinopril is usually starting at 10 mg once a day, which can be adjusted based on your blood pressure response. Additionally, a diuretic such as Hydrochlorothiazide may also be beneficial in controlling your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and work closely with your healthcare provider to adjust your medications as needed.
