When is it okay to stop taking Inderal LA 20 mg? I've been on it for about a month now for anxiety and because my blood pressure was a bit high, around 14085. I've managed to get those under control, so I'm wondering if it's safe to stop the medication. What do you suggest?

Inderal LA 20 mg is a beta-blocker medication used to treat high blood pressure and anxiety. Since you have been taking it for a month and have overcome your anxiety and your blood pressure is now under control, you can consider stopping the medication. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen. Your doctor may recommend tapering off the medication gradually to avoid any potential withdrawal symptoms.

View allI've been having chest pain for 13 days now, and I'm really starting to get worried. My sugar levels are normal when fasting, and all my reports like ECG, lipid profile, and an echo have come back normal too. But the pain just won't go away. Should I be concerned, or is there something else I should be checking for?

I'm really concerned about my dad's health right now. A couple of years ago, he had bypass surgery and brain stenting, and he's been doing okay since then. But I've noticed that his pulse rate sometimes jumps to somewhere between 55 and 58 while he's resting and it goes even higher, to about 70 or 80, when hes walking. When hes sitting, it mostly remains at 55 to 58, whereas it used to be above 65. His blood pressure is 11570, and hes on a few medications like metosartan 50, clopivas 150, atorva 40, and glycomet 500. Should I be worried about these changes? He's not showing any symptoms or anything, but with the ongoing corona situation, we're hesitant to rush to the doctor for an ECG. Could this be normal, or is it something we need to look into?
His pulse rate dropping to 55-58 while resting and 70-80 after walking, with most of the time sitting at 55-58, is slightly lower than usual. Given his medical history of bypass surgery and brain stenting, along with the medications he is currently taking (metosartan 50, clopivas 150, atorva 40, and glycomet 500), it is important to monitor his heart rate closely. Considering he is feeling fine with no other symptoms, it may not be an immediate cause for concern. However, it would be advisable to consult with his healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider discussing with his doctor about adjusting the dosage of metosartan 50 to help regulate his pulse rate within a normal range.
