Vaccine and heart
Is COVAXIN safe for me? I am hypertensive (150/90) and also have sinus tachycardia.. my heart rate stays in higher range and in situations of anxiety raise upto 130/140
I am on SUSTAMETO 50 mg since 4 weeks
I am doing fine on the medicine except that even if I miss 1 day dose my heart starts palpitating. I discussed with my doc to reduce dose to 25 mg but he exclaimed that low dose won't work much. 50 mg is suited ...
Plz advise me about vaccine and alleviate my apprehensions about the same
