In Feb'26 I got stressed out and became very anxious. I was put on Concor 2.5mg. All test 2D Echo and ECG were done and normal. Then at the same time I developed a UTI infection and after I got better I was put on Concor 5T as in the doctor office my BP went 150/100 whereas at home it has been 115-145/72-86 in that range, Now my BP is always between 110-118/62-76. I have been taking Concor 5T since a month now. Can I reduce and completely stop the medication as I never had BP before in my life, only during the time of my anxiousness it went up and only whenever my BP is checked at a doctor's place it goes up with the fear.
As soon as I drink water or eat something I'm getting burps immediately, getting stools daily but feels like incomplete evacuation and since 2-3 days my bp is around 95/65.
My b12 is 155
Iron is 43
Hb is 11.5
Rbc 3.69
Calcium 7.81
ESR 26
Rest cbc, lft, kft, thyroid profile, lipid profile were fine.
I took iron and b12 tablets for 20-25 days but there is no increment.
I tested for celiac disease too but it's negative. What's causing this burp and low bp? Is it the gut issues or heart issue?
My blood pressure is normal.
Currently having stamlo 2.5 mg.
How to Stop this medication .If life style modification is done.
EECP vs Better Non-Surgical Options: 61F Post-Pulmonary Edema (TVD, 42% EF)
61F. Frail/thin. Hospitalized last week for 1st time with acute pulmonary edema (now resolved). Currently stable: lungs clear, SpO2 98%, Pulse 82-85, FBS 155, PPBS 198. Has intense thirst and fragmented sleep.
Angiogram: Severe TVD. LMCA 30-40% stenosis; LAD total occlusion (filling via active collaterals); Distal LCX 90-95% stenosis; RCA total occlusion (retrograde filling). Surgeons advised against CABG/PCI due to frailty; recommended medical management as collaterals are compensating.
2D Echo: EF 42%, mild PAH, multiple hypokinetic LV segments. Chambers/IVC normal.
Meds: Axcer 90mg BID, Aspirin AV 75/40, Bisoprolol 1.25mg, Angispan 2.6mg, Oxra 10mg, Tab Leni 40mg (1.5 tabs/day). NovoRapid (10-10-8) + Lantus (10u at 10 PM). Strict 1L fluid limit, zero-salt diet.
Questions:
Can EECP safely mature her collaterals, or does increased venous return risk re-inducing pulmonary edema so soon?
On my left centre chest side, sharp, pinching pain is occuring while i breathe deeply, yawn, burp and during bending.
It started from 1-1:30 hour before..
