I'm noticing something strange and I'm a bit worried. My heart rate seems normal, but I've been feeling my whole body pulse with each heartbeat. I can even see my clothes moving around my chest, and if I'm holding something, it moves too. I especially notice it when I touch my abdomen or my neck. On top of that, I've been having some light chest pains every now and then. Could this be something to be concerned about? Any advice would be appreciated.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I've been having these sudden blackout episodes lately, and it's a bit worrying. Sometimes when I stand up too quickly, everything just goes dark for a few seconds. Just the other night, I got out of bed to use the bathroom and suddenly felt like I was going to vomit, then I blacked out and collapsed for a moment. Do you know why this might be happening or what I should do about it?

These symptoms could be indicative of orthostatic hypotension, where a sudden drop in blood pressure occurs when changing positions. To help manage this condition, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and slowly changing positions to allow your body to adjust. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Fludrocortisone to help regulate your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan.

I'm a bit concerned because I had a PTCA procedure about 14 months ago. Now, my doctor is suggesting I stop taking Axcer 90 mg twice daily for 5 days and just stick with Ecosprin 75 mg once a day. This is supposed to be for a CT-guided biopsy because I've got multiple lymph nodes in my abdomen. Is this safe, and should I be worried about any risks with stopping Axcer?

yes.
