View allI'm feeling a bit unsure about this medication Prolomet R 25 that my cardiologist prescribed. They said not to worry after some tests, but I found out it's a beta blocker, and I'm concerned because I don't have any blood pressure issues. Could you please guide me on if and how I should stop taking it?
Prolomet R 25, a beta-blocker, is often prescribed for heart-related issues such as palpitations, anxiety, or to improve heart function, even if you do not have high blood pressure. If you have concerns about this medication, do not stop taking it abruptly, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms or exacerbation of your condition. Instead, consult your cardiologist to discuss your concerns and to determine whether you need to continue the medication or if it can be gradually tapered off under medical supervision. Your doctor can provide a safe plan for discontinuing the medication if it is deemed appropriate.

Is it normal for my husband's resting heart rate to be 84 bpm? His heartbeat usually rates around 90, and we recently had an ECG done that showed his resting heart rate is 84 bpm. Does this sound okay?
Normal..

I've been experiencing some weird noises coming from my chest and stomach, kind of like gurgling sounds. It started happening a lot, then stopped for about a month, but now it's back again. I'm confused if it's related to gas or something else. I've checked my pulse when it happens, and sometimes it pauses, but I'm not sure if I'm just not focusing enough because of the noise. It kind of feels like when your stomach growls from hunger, but it's happening in my chest. I've had PVCs with bigeminy and couplets, and once there was sinus tachycardia. I used to take beta blockers for anxiety, but I stopped at some point. Do you think this gurgling is related to my heart somehow? I also had acid reflux issues about two years ago, if that's relevant. My throat makes noises too. Is this something to worry about?
cardiologist opinion.
