Question

I'm a bit confused about my prescription. The doctor mentioned something about Prolomet XL R 50mg5mg. Is that the same as saying Prolomet XL 50mg and Prolomet R 50mg5mg? I'm not certain if he wants me to take XL or just R. Could you help me understand the difference?

Question

I've been noticing this weird thing happening with my heartbeat over the last couple of days. It feels like my heart is beating really strongly, and I can actually see it beating when I look at my chest. Sometimes it even makes the dirt move around me. It doesn't happen all the time, just randomly throughout the day. Could you help me understand why this might be happening and what I should do about it?

Question

I had a heart attack from smoking back in March 2017 and found out my left main artery was 100% blocked. I'm on meds like Roustor, GoldPlanep, and Skelexon now. Is it possible for medication to completely reverse the blockage? How can I find out if it's really reversed?

Question

I'm 18 and I've started noticing that whenever I get up after sitting, I feel this heaviness in my chest and sort of like a suffocation feeling for a few seconds. Should I be worried about this or is it normal?
