Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. Regarding your mom, who is 62 years old and suffers from asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), she smoked for 30 years but quit five years ago. In response to your query, the inhaler she is using, Albuterol, has a short half-life compared to newer inhalers. Because of the frequent use of Albuterol, we recommend switching to a combination inhaler of Formoterol and Glycopyrronium, which has a longer half-life and will help manage both asthma and COPD.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand how you must be feeling about this. Being a 48-year-old woman, you have started experiencing sudden fluttering in your chest, shortness of breath, and occasional dizziness. As you mentioned, these symptoms are most likely caused by atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that can feel fast or uneven), which your doctor has already confirmed. Atrial fibrillation can be influenced by stress and caffeine, so it is important to monitor both carefully.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Elevated triglyceride levels can result from multiple factors, including an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, obesity, diabetes, alcohol consumption, and certain medical conditions like liver or kidney issues. Additionally, hypothyroidism, characterized by elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, can also contribute to high triglycerides. Genetic factors may also play a role.
