I've been dealing with a higher heart rate for about 45 days now, and it's really starting to make me feel nervous and cause chest pain. This actually happened to me about two years ago as well, and back then I did all the tests like ECG and 2D ECHO but they didn't find anything wrong. Now that it's happening again, I'm really concerned. Can you suggest what might be causing this or how I should treat it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. The usual dosage for Propranolol in such cases is 10-40mg, taken 2-3 times a day as needed to control heart rate and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

Question

I've always struggled with high cholesterol, and it's been a tricky issue in my family as wellseems like a genetic thing. Every time my cholesterol spikes, I've been using Roseday 10 mg to bring it down temporarily. But I'm really interested in finding a more natural daily approach to managing it. I've heard about Himalaya Arjuna and Lahsuna tablets as potential aids. Do you think taking these daily could help keep my cholesterol levels stable and promote heart health? I'd love to find a way to manage my cholesterol without always relying on medication. What are your thoughts on this, and do you have any advice?

I'm 32 and weigh 45 kg, and I've been experiencing frequent breathlessness and sometimes chest pain. My doctor recommended some tests like an ECG, an echocardiogram, and a blood test. I'm really worried because I've heard that getting an echocardiogram might not be safe for the heart. I'm scared of going through with it. What should I do?

Question

So, my dad had blood clots a couple of months ago, but after being treated in the hospital hes doing fine now. Recently, his CT pulmonary angiogram came back normal, which is great. The pulmonologist said he should take Eliquis 5 mg for life. But I noticed that Apigat 5 has the same ingredient, Apixaban 5 mg. Can he take Apigat 5 instead of Eliquis 5? I've attached details for both meds.
