Both propranolol and Ajaduo (empagliflozin/linagliptin) can sometimes cause dizziness or circulation changes. While it is reassuring that your symptoms improved when you lowered your propranolol dose, it is highly important not to adjust this medication on your own. Beta-blockers like propranolol need to be tapered carefully under medical supervision to avoid rebound symptoms like a fast heart rate or chest tightness. Please contact your doctor soon so they can safely review your medications and ensure your heart rate and blood sugar are properly managed.

Could my diabetes medicine, Ajaduo 25/5, be causing my recurring fungal infections, and how long can I safely continue taking it?

Yes, your medication Ajaduo (which contains empagliflozin and linagliptin) can cause these infections. Empagliflozin works by removing excess sugar through your urine, and this extra sugar can encourage yeast growth. Many patients continue taking this medication safely long-term by practicing good hygiene and using simple antifungal treatments. However, if these infections are frequent or highly uncomfortable, please speak with your doctor. They can help you manage the symptoms or safely adjust your treatment plan to keep you comfortable and healthy.

Could my wife's new symptoms of shortness of breath and nausea be delayed side effects of her Covishield vaccine (received 15 days ago), following a temporary episode yesterday of left-sided numbness and a high blood pressure spike of 170/110 that was treated with Nurokind and Talvas (and she also takes Ajaduo for diabetes), and what should we do next since we cannot get an immediate appointment with a nerve specialist?

While delayed vaccine reactions are possible, her symptoms?especially the temporary left-sided numbness, high blood pressure spike, shortness of breath, and nausea?require urgent medical attention. Rather than waiting for a nerve specialist, please take her to the nearest emergency department immediately. These signs need prompt evaluation to rule out any serious cardiovascular or neurological issues. Emergency doctors can safely monitor her blood pressure, check her heart, and review her current medications, including Talvas and Ajaduo.

What are the chances of my wife having another stroke, and what steps should we take to prevent it, considering she is overweight, has diabetes and thyroid issues, and is currently taking Thyroxine, Ajaduo, Aspirin, Telvas Beta, and Strocit Plus with a blood sugar reading of 328?

Your wife's blood sugar of 328 mg/dL is quite high and requires prompt medical attention to adjust her diabetes therapy, such as Ajaduo (empagliflozin/linagliptin). Consistently managing her blood sugar, blood pressure, and thyroid levels is the most critical step in preventing another stroke. Please ensure she continues taking her Aspirin, Telvas Beta (telmisartan/metoprolol), and Thyroxine (levothyroxine) exactly as prescribed. I highly recommend contacting her doctor today to safely address this blood sugar level and discuss a tailored lifestyle plan.
