PYQ NEET PG, FMGE, INI-CET PYQ 1. Which of the following is a common side effect of ACE inhibitors? A. Hyperkalemia B. Hypokalemia C. Hypernatremia D. Bradycardia ✅ Correct Answer: A. Hyperkalemia Explanation: ACE inhibitors decrease the synthesis of aldosterone. Aldosterone normally promotes potassium excretion. So, when aldosterone levels fall, potassium is retained — leading to hyperkalemia. PYQ 2. ACE inhibitors are contraindicated in which condition? A. Congestive heart failure B. Diabetic nephropathy C. Hypertension D. Pregnancy ✅ Correct Answer: D. Pregnancy Explanation: ACE inhibitors are teratogenic, especially during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. They can cause fetal renal damage, oligohydramnios, intrauterine growth restriction, and even fetal death. Therefore, they must never be used during pregnancy. PYQ 3. The antihypertensive action of ACE inhibitors is due to: A. Blockade of α receptors B. Blockade of β receptors C. Inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme D. Blockade of aldosterone receptors ✅ Correct Answer: C. Inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme Explanation: ACE inhibitors block the enzyme that converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a powerful vasoconstrictor and stimulates aldosterone. Blocking its formation leads to vasodilation and decreased blood pressure. PYQ 4. A patient taking enalapril develops a dry cough. What is the cause? A. Histamine release B. Pulmonary edema C. Accumulation of bradykinin D. Increased renin secretion ✅ Correct Answer: C. Accumulation of bradykinin Explanation: ACE is also responsible for degrading bradykinin. When ACE is inhibited, bradykinin accumulates, irritating the bronchial mucosa and leading to a dry, nonproductive cough. PYQ 5. Which one of the following ACE inhibitors is long-acting and given once daily? A. Captopril B. Enalapril C. Lisinopril D. Ramipril ✅ Correct Answer: D. Ramipril Explanation: Ramipril is a long-acting ACE inhibitor with high lipid solubility and tissue penetration. It has a long half-life and is administered once daily in most cases of hypertension and heart failure. PYQ 6. Which antihypertensive drug offers renal protection in diabetic patients? A. Atenolol B. Enalapril C. Amlodipine D. Hydrochlorothiazide ✅ Correct Answer: B. Enalapril Explanation: Enalapril, an ACE inhibitor, is used in diabetic nephropathy even in normotensive patients. It reduces intraglomerular pressure by dilating efferent arterioles, thus slowing progression of diabetic renal disease.

Medicine 📘 Topic: Endocrinology – NEET PG & INI-CET PYQ Set 🧪 Q1. A 35-year-old woman presents with weight gain, moon face, central obesity, and purple striae. What is the best initial screening test for Cushing's syndrome? A. Serum cortisol at 8 AM B. Dexamethasone suppression test ✅ C. ACTH stimulation test D. 24-hour urinary free cortisol Answer: B. Dexamethasone suppression test 🧠 Explanation: The overnight low-dose dexamethasone suppression test is the best screening tool for Cushing’s. In Cushing’s, cortisol does not get suppressed. ❌ A. Serum cortisol at 8 AM – Cortisol is normally high at this time; not helpful alone. ❌ C. ACTH stimulation – Used in adrenal insufficiency, not Cushing’s. ❌ D.

Cushing disease B. Secondary adrenal insufficiency C. Addison’s disease ✅ D. Pheochromocytoma Answer: C. Addison’s disease 🧠 Explanation: Addison’s = Primary adrenal insufficiency → Low cortisol + high ACTH → Hyperpigmentation due to ACTH-derived MSH ❌ A. Cushing – Features of cortisol excess, not deficiency ❌ B. Secondary insufficiency – ACTH would be low ❌ D. Pheochromocytoma – Presents with hypertension, not hypotension 🧪 Q3. Which of the following is not a feature of hypothyroidism? A. Bradycardia B. Constipation C. Heat intolerance ✅ D. Weight gain Answer: C. Heat intolerance 🧠 Explanation: Heat intolerance → seen in hyperthyroidism, not hypo ✅ Hypothyroidism = cold intolerance, bradycardia, constipation, weight gain 🧪 Q4. A patient with diabetes presents with vomiting, abdominal pain, deep breathing, fruity odor. What is the next step? A. Give oral hypoglycemics B. IM insulin C. IV insulin and fluids ✅ D. Wait for blood reports Answer: C. IV insulin and fluids 🧠 Explanation: Classic DKA presentation → needs urgent fluid + insulin therapy ❌ A. – Oral agents not used in DKA ❌ B. – IM insulin acts slower ❌ D. – Don’t delay treatment in obvious DKA 🧪 Q5. A 45-year-old man has hypertension, sweating, and palpitations in episodes. His BP is 180/110. Best test to confirm diagnosis? A. Plasma metanephrines ✅ B. Serum cortisol C. TSH D.

All are seen in hyperparathyroidism except: A. Osteitis fibrosa cystica B. Hypercalcemia C. Hypophosphatemia D. Decreased PTH ✅ Answer: D. Decreased PTH 🧠 Explanation: Primary hyperparathyroidism = ↑PTH → ↑Calcium, ↓Phosphate ✅ A, B, C are classical signs ❌ D. – PTH is high, not low 🧪 Q8. A diabetic patient is started on insulin therapy. Which of the following is an early sign of hypoglycemia? A. Seizure B. Sweating and tremors ✅ C. Coma D. Loss of reflexes Answer: B.

They are cardioprotective, antihypertensive, and anti-anginal marvels. “Beta receptors ke saath khel kar, ye dhadkan ko silsile se chalate hain…” 🩺 Classification (KDT) 1. Non-selective Beta Blockers (β1 + β2) Act on both heart (β1) and lungs/vessels (β2) Examples: Propranolol, Nadolol, Timolol 2. Cardioselective Beta Blockers (β1 only) Selective to heart — less bronchoconstriction Examples: Atenolol, Metoprolol, Bisoprolol 3. With Intrinsic Sympathomimetic Activity (ISA) Partial agonists → Less bradycardia Examples: Pindolol, Acebutolol 4. Beta Blockers with Additional Vasodilator Action Some also block α1 receptors or increase NO Examples: Labetalol, Carvedilol, Nebivolol 💓 Mechanism of Action Beta-1 blockade ↓ heart rate, ↓ myocardial contractility ↓ Renin release from JG cells → ↓ Angiotensin II ↓ Cardiac output → ↓ BP Stabilizes cardiac rhythm (antiarrhythmic) “Dil ki raftaar ko rok kar, sukoon ka paighaam dete hain…” 🏥 Clinical Uses (Exam Favourite) Hypertension – Especially young and post-MI patients Angina pectoris – ↓ oxygen demand Myocardial infarction – ↓ infarct size, ↓ mortality Heart failure (stable only) – Carvedilol, Metoprolol Arrhythmias – Supraventricular, ventricular Glaucoma – Timolol ↓ aqueous humor Thyrotoxicosis – Propranolol ↓ peripheral conversion of T4→T3 Migraine prophylaxis – Propranolol Anxiety – Performance anxiety, stage fear ⚠️ Adverse Effects Bradycardia, hypotension Fatigue, cold extremities Bronchospasm (β2 block) Hypoglycemia unawareness (esp. in diabetics) Erectile dysfunction CNS: nightmares, depression (lipophilic drugs) 🚫 Contraindications Bronchial asthma/COPD (esp. non-selective) Severe bradycardia or AV block Uncontrolled heart failure (acute) Peripheral vascular disease Diabetes with frequent hypoglycemi a “Har dil ka saathi nahi banta, kuch dilon mein barf bhi jamata hai… ” 🧪 Beta Blockers in Special Situations Hypertensive crisis in pregnancy – Labetalol is preferred Portal hypertension – Propranolol Post-MI mortality reduction – Bisoprolol, Metoprolol, Carvedilol Migraine prophylaxis – Propranolol Anxiety tremors – Propranolol (lipophilic, crosses BBB) 💡 Mnemonic for Beta-1 Selective Blockers: “A-M = β1” Atenolol, Metoprolol, Esmolol, Bisoprolol, Acebutolol (Think A to M – beyond this, most are non-selective) 💊 Beta Blockers with Additional Activity: Carvedilol – α1 block + β block Nebivolol – β1 selective + NO-mediated vasodilation Labetalol – α1 block + β block → safe in pregnancy 🎯  Golden MCQs with Explanations (Covering Every Exam Angle) 1.

Beta blockers decrease blood pressure primarily by: A. Diuresis B. Vasodilation C. Reduced cardiac output ✅ D. Increasing baroreceptor reflex 👉 ↓ HR + ↓ contractility = ↓ cardiac output → ↓ BP 3. Which beta blocker is used in migraine prophylaxis? A. Esmolol B. Propranolol ✅ C. Labetalol D. Atenolol 👉 Propranolol is lipophilic → enters CNS → effective in migraine. 4. Drug of choice in hypertensive emergency during pregnancy: A. Nifedipine B. Methyldopa C. Labetalol ✅ D. Atenolol 👉 Labetalol = combined α1 + β blocker → rapid BP control. 5.
