It is indeed possible that an enlarged thyroid, or goiter, is physically pressing on her esophagus, making it hard to swallow. Her medication Thronorm (levothyroxine) manages her thyroid, while Stamlo (amlodipine) and Spiromont FA treat her blood pressure and asthma. To find the exact cause, I highly recommend consulting an Endocrinologist to check her thyroid size, or an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist to evaluate her throat. Please reassure her; these specialists are well-equipped to help her find relief quickly.

Is it safe for me to permanently stop taking my blood pressure medication, Stamlo 5, now that my blood pressure is 130/85 and I have already gone five days without taking it?

It is wonderful that your blood pressure is currently 130/85, but please do not permanently stop your medication without consulting your doctor. Stamlo 5 (amlodipine) stays in your system for several days, so your current reading may still reflect its benefits. Stopping it abruptly can cause your blood pressure to gradually rise again, putting extra strain on your heart. Your doctor can help you safely evaluate if lifestyle changes or a supervised dose reduction is right for you. Please reach out to them before making any permanent changes.

Can taking Stamlo 5, Rozavel 5, and Nexito 5 cause side effects like a burning feeling in my hands and feet, sweating around my neck, and constantly feeling too hot?

Yes, these medications can potentially cause what you are experiencing. Escitalopram (Nexito) and amlodipine (Stamlo) can cause sweating, flushing, and feeling too hot. A burning sensation in your hands and feet can occasionally be linked to escitalopram or rosuvastatin (Rozavel). Since you are 46, natural hormonal changes like perimenopause could also play a role. Please do not worry, but do consult your prescribing doctor before making any changes. They can safely evaluate you and adjust your medications to help you feel much more comfortable.

What are the next medical steps or tests for my father, who has a stomach ulcer, low red blood cell count (anemia), food coming back up when sleeping, and shortness of breath when walking, given that his endoscopy, colonoscopy, CT scan, capsule camera test, and bone marrow tests were all normal, and he is currently taking Ramcor-H2.5, Stamlo-2.5, Livogen, and Benadan?

It is very reassuring that his major scans, endoscopies, and bone marrow tests are all normal. Since he experiences shortness of breath and is taking blood pressure medications like ramipril/hydrochlorothiazide (Ramcor-H) and amlodipine (Stamlo), a simple heart evaluation, such as an echocardiogram, is a logical next step. For the food coming up at night, elevating the head of his bed and discussing an acid-reducing medication with his doctor can offer relief. To understand why his red blood count remains low despite taking iron (Livogen) and vitamin B6 (Benadon), his doctor may suggest checking his iron absorption levels. Please share these reassuring next steps with his physician.

My daughter takes Thyronorm 37.5mcg daily and is experiencing recurring stomach pain and diarrhea, but her blood and stool tests are normal; should we proceed with the recommended camera tests of her stomach and bowel (endoscopy and colonoscopy), or what else could be causing her symptoms?

It is reassuring that her initial tests are normal. Sometimes, the dose of her thyroid medication, Thyronorm (levothyroxine), can cause stomach upset or diarrhea if it needs a slight adjustment. Before proceeding with invasive procedures like an endoscopy or colonoscopy, it would be wise to discuss her symptoms with her pediatrician. They can check if her thyroid hormone levels are perfectly balanced. A pediatric gastroenterologist can also help explore gentler options first, such as looking into food sensitivities. You are doing a wonderful job caring for her, and taking these step-by-step discussions with her doctor will help find the right answers safely.
