I had an ECG a couple of months ago, and it turned out fine. I'm wondering how often I should have another ECG as part of my routine health check-up. Is there a recommended timeline for this?

I'm having this issue where my heart seems to race and my hands go numb. It gets really intense, like my heartbeat skyrockets, especially at night. Last night it happened again, and it's not the first time it also occurred about 15 days ago. I got an ECG done, and while my heart rate was really fast, my blood pressure was normal. What's going on here? Why is this happening to me?

My mother-in-law had a stent procedure about 10 days ago, and she's been experiencing fever and chills on and off. Is this something to be concerned about?

Fever and chills after a stent procedure could be a sign of infection. It is important to monitor her closely and contact her healthcare provider immediately. She may need antibiotics such as Amoxicillin 500mg to treat the infection. The dosage would typically be 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days.

I'm really concerned about my heart rate lately. It seems to spike, especially when I'm sleeping, and I'm not sure if it's because of fear or anxiety about everything that's happening with COVID-19. Could you give me some advice or steps I can take to handle this? I'd be open to a phone or video consultation too. Appreciate your help!
