Question

I'm feeling really anxious today because after taking Bromelain this morning, my blood pressure machine has been showing an irregular heartbeat consistently. My BP reading is 133 over 80, and my heart rate is 71. I'm not sure if this is serious enough to warrant a trip to the hospital. Any insights on what I should do?

Bromelain is a natural supplement derived from pineapples that may cause side effects such as irregular heartbeat in some individuals. Since you are experiencing this symptom along with uncertainty, it is advisable to seek medical attention. You can take 25mg of Metoprolol to help regulate your heartbeat. If the irregular heartbeat persists or worsens, please visit the hospital for further evaluation and management.
