Question 1

I've been told to take either Telma 40 or Tazloc 40 for my blood pressure. Are they actually the same, or do the two medications have different compositions?

Accepted Answer

Both medications are same in the composition..

Question 2

Sometimes my heart rate goes above 115 bpm, which is making me concerned since I know the normal range is between 60 to 100 bpm. I've been using an oximeter to check my heart rate. My baby recently passed away due to a cardiac problem and was born with a heart defect. Could this be related to my heart rate issues? Should I consider getting any tests done to check for potential issues?

Accepted Answer

A heart rate of 115bpm or higher is considered elevated. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, dehydration, or physical activity. It is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult a doctor if you have persistent high heart rates. Given your family history of a baby with a heart defect, it may be a good idea to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation. Tests such as an ECG, echocardiogram, or stress test may be recommended to assess your heart health and rule out any underlying conditions. It's important to address any concerns about your heart health, especially given your family history.

Question 3

I've been noticing some strong heartbeats and chest pain on my left side after I eat. I don't have any other symptoms, but it's kind of worrying. I had a stress echo and an ECG done about three months ago, and everything was normal. What do you think could be going on?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of heart palpitations and chest pain after eating. Since your stress echo, echo, and ECG done 3 months ago were normal, it is less likely to be related to any serious heart condition. However, these symptoms could be due to acid reflux or gastritis. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids for relief. You can also try avoiding spicy and fatty foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
