I had a CABG surgery back in 2006, and I've been on a bunch of medications since then, like Ecosprin Gold 20mg, Nebicard 2.5mg, Gelam AM 40mg, Nikoran 10, and Nitrocontin 6.4. Is it alright for me to take Nikoran and Nitrocontin at the same time?

View allI'm doing exercise six days a week and I've noticed my heart rate is a bit high sometimes. There are moments when my heart feels chilly, and occasionally, after eating, it feels like there's a burning sensation. Should I be worried about these symptoms or is this normal?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of heartburn and possibly some irregular heartbeats. For heartburn, you can try taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg as needed after meals.

I was just told I have bradycardia, but my symptoms seem to be getting worse over time. I've been feeling really nauseous and light-headed, and I notice weakness, shortness of breath, painful headaches, and even high blood pressure. I'm curious about how serious my bradycardia is. My pulse usually sits around 45-58, but whenever my blood pressure spikes up to around 14599, my pulse jumps to 85 before it settles back down. Could there be something specific causing all of this? It's been three months, and instead of getting better, it seems to be getting worse. Should I be doing something right away about it?
