Hi,I am Raju.A.T (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 83 Year Old Mother Was Recently Hospitalized For Bronchitis,
My 83 year old mother was recently hospitalized for bronchitis, COPD, CHF and emphysema. She was originally on Lisinopril (5mg tabs, 1 tab x 2 a day) prescribed by her heart doctor and then she was sent home with another prescription to add to it for Metoprol Tar (25mg. tablets, 1/2 tablet x 2 a day) from another doctor. It seems strange because her blood pressure can be all over the place, low then high. Since the description for both is for blood pressure, I just wanted to check if I should question this with either of the doctors. I realize that all meds are listed on her chart, but I also realize physicians are also human.
