Question

So I've been having this cough for the last couple of days and it's making my heart race and flutter, even when I'm trying to sleep. I got some tests done like an ECG, echo, and chest X-ray back in March. Should I be doing all those tests again? Every time I cough, it feels like my heart is either trying to jump out or like it's getting all tight, and it's really freaking me out. There's also this pain now and then, plus twitching in my feet and neck, and it's making me super anxious about my health. Is Benadryl syrup gonna help with all this? I'm also burping a lot, and my heart feels like it's pounding out of my chest. With all those tests coming back normal before, Im just wondering if I need to repeat them. And while I'm at it, what exactly is the main reason people get heart attacks? It's been like this since February, and I'm feeling really low and freaked out. My blood pressure is usually 11090 and my pulse is often above 100. I'm 25, by the way. Any ideas what's up with all this?

Question

I'm feeling a bit anxious because I've had my mitral valve replaced with a mechanical one and now I need to be on Acitron, a blood thinner, for the rest of my life. Could you tell me which foods I should be steering clear of? I'm worried about how my diet might affect my condition.

Question

I've been wondering if you could help me figure out what's going on because I've been feeling strange lately. Around 12 April, I tested positive for COVID, but luckily, it was mild, and the only real issue was losing my sense of smell, which came back after about 10 days. But for the past 8-10 days, I've been experiencing this weird sensation all over my bodyalmost like heart palpitations, though I'm not entirely sure if that's what it is. It's like I can feel my heartbeat in my stomach, neck, and just about everywhere in my body, like my whole body is pumping. It tends to disappear when I'm doing something else, but comes roaring back when I'm trying to relax. If I focus on it too much, my heart really starts pounding before eventually calming down. It's really unsettling and sometimes makes me feel anxious and on edge. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I should do about it?
