View allI'm really worried about my mom, she's 40 and has been dealing with rheumatic heart disease. She had valve replacement surgery and is now on various medications, including something called cotton, but she's still facing issues like shortness of breath and a fast heart rate. I'm wondering if it's safe to try Ayurvedic treatment instead? Are there any risks if she stops her allopathy medicine in favor of Ayurvedic options?
Switching from allopathy (conventional medicine) to Ayurvedic treatment for a serious condition like rheumatic heart disease, especially after valve replacement surgery, should be done cautiously and under the guidance of healthcare professionals. Ayurvedic medications may have interactions with the current medications she is taking, so it is important to consult with her cardiologist before making any changes.

I'm experiencing something strange after starting my TB medication. My heart beats really fast while I'm sleeping and even after I wake up. I don't have shortness of breath, just a persistent headache, and it's really bothering me because it's affecting my sleep. There's no cough either, just this constant headache and rapid heartbeat throughout the day. My blood pressure is around 13070. What could be causing these symptoms?

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've been on high blood pressure meds for about a year now. Lately, I've also started taking Concor 1.25 daily. I've noticed that sometimes my heart rate seems to drop, and it's really freaking me out. What could be causing this?
I understand that feeling a drop in your heartbeat can be quite alarming. Given that you are taking high blood pressure medication and Concor (bisoprolol, a beta-blocker), it's possible that your symptoms could be related to your medication. Beta-blockers like bisoprolol are known to lower both blood pressure and heart rate, and sometimes they can cause bradycardia (a slower than normal heart rate). This can occasionally make you feel lightheaded or cause an irregular heartbeat. It's important to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare provider, as they might need to adjust your medication dosage or explore other underlying causes for your symptoms. In the meantime, keep monitoring your heart rate and blood pressure, and avoid any activities that could trigger these symptoms or put you at risk.
