I have a large sore on my elbow vein that keeps breaking open and bleeding despite using triple antibiotic ointment and bandaids. It looks infected, and I have chronic illnesses including severe gastroparesis and dysmotility of the intestinal tract. My blood pressure is 127/90, heart rate is 114, and oxygen level is 98%. I have an appointment on Monday morning. Should I be concerned, and is there anything else I should do?

I switched from metoprolol to atenolol due to contraindications with Zoloft and breathing difficulties. Are there any contraindications between atenolol and Zoloft or other SSRIs? I'm looking for a more permanent and beneficial solution than clonazepam or Xanax, and I'm trying to wean off these medications. Do all beta blockers have some interaction with SSRIs?

I have a persistent cough and a poor speaking voice, which has affected my ability to sing. I am taking Metoprolol 50 mg BID and Triamterene 50 QD. I have already had a pulmonary lung function test, which was okay. What else could be causing my cough and how can it be addressed?
