I'm having some issues with my medication. I was prescribed Dytor 5 tablets because I have MVP and moderate MR, but every time I take them, I start feeling really drowsy, my hands turn reddish, and my heart starts pounding. Initially, my doctor advised one tablet daily, but when I mentioned these symptoms, he suggested increasing the dosage to 12 tablets a day. However, Im still feeling dizzy all the time. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? What should I do?

Its better to switch to another tablet but better to rule out further why you are getting such symptoms and give right treatment

I've been going through my routine check-up results, and my ECG report mentions sinus tachycardia with some changes in the ST-T section. I'm a 29-year-old guy, and aside from some allergy issues, I don't have any chronic health problems. Should I be worried about these results? Is it considered normal, or is it something I need to look deeper into?

Sinus tachycardia is a normal increase in heart rate that is often a response to exercise, stress, or illness. In your case, since you have mentioned that you have no known chronic diseases other than allergy problems, it is important to consider other factors that may be causing the sinus tachycardia. The changes in the ST-T segment could be indicative of various conditions, such as myocardial ischemia or electrolyte imbalances. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take a low dose of beta-blockers such as Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. Additionally, monitoring your electrolyte levels and ensuring proper hydration may also be beneficial.

I'm really worried about my dad's health. He's been dealing with diabetes for about 20 years now, and he also has hypertension and CKD. His creatinine level is at 2.1. We're considering giving him GTN Sorbitrate CR 2.6 for his angina, but I'm concerned about any potential side effects it might have on his kidney and liver. Could this possibly lead to an increase in his creatinine levels? I'm just not sure if it's safe for him given his conditions.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
