View allI'm really worried and need to know how to use sorbitrate. Should I take it right when I start feeling heart pain, or is there some other way I should be taking it? Please help me understand the right way to use this medication.
Sorbitrate (Isosorbide Dinitrate) works quickly to relieve chest pain caused by angina. It is usually taken at the first sign of chest pain. The usual dosage is 2.5 to 5 mg sublingually (under the tongue) and may be repeated every 5 minutes for a maximum of 3 doses. It is important to follow the specific dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Remember to seek emergency medical attention if your chest pain persists or worsens after taking Sorbitrate.

I'm 32 and dealing with anxiety and hypertension. I've been diagnosed with mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy after a 2D echo. My doctor mentioned taking a TMT and prescribed me TelmaCT 4012.5, Inderal 10, and Rosuvastatin 20. Do you think I should go ahead with the TMT? I'm feeling a bit worried about all this.
Since you are already diagnosed with mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, it is important to follow your doctor's advice and go for the TMT (Treadmill Stress Test) as suggested. This test will help assess your heart's response to physical stress and evaluate any possible blockages in the arteries.

I've been having some breathing issues for a year now, but in the last two weeks, I've started experiencing chest pain alongside it. I'm also feeling dizzy, and I've got pain in my left arm, muscles, and neck. What's going on here? Should I be worried?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for chest pain (if not allergic) and Nitroglycerin 0.4mg sublingual for chest pain relief. These medications can help manage your symptoms before you see a doctor.
