I'm 20 and whenever I do my bench press workouts, I start feeling dizzy, my vision gets blurry, and my legs feel weak. It's starting to worry me, so I'm wondering which specialist should I see to help me figure this out?

I'm really worried because I had an ECG done about an hour ago and now I've noticed this blood spot in the middle of my chest. Should I be concerned about this? Is it something serious?

I'm a bit concerned about my dadhe's got a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. His reports show no blockage and his echo report is normal, but his blood tests indicate an iron and magnesium deficiency. We've started him on Orofer XT for the iron since his Hb level is 10.3 because of low ferritin. I've seen some folks online saying that magnesium citrate 1000 mg per day and L-Taurine have helped reduce their Afib episodes. Is it okay for my dad to take these supplements too, and if so, for how long should he be on them? Also, he's currently taking Cordarone (Amiodarone), Prolomet 25, and Xarelto 15. We're wondering if he could switch from Amiodarone to Flecanide (Flecarite 50) since we've heard Cordarone can be quite toxic compared to other meds. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Q1. Can my father take magnesium citrate and L-Taurine supplements to help reduce Afib episodes? If yes, for how long? Yes, your father can take magnesium citrate and L-Taurine supplements to help reduce Afib episodes. He can take magnesium citrate 1000 mg per day and L-Taurine supplements as reported by other patients. It is recommended to continue taking these supplements as long as they are providing benefit in reducing Afib episodes. Q2. Can my father switch from Cordarone (amiodarone) to FlecanideFlecarite 50, since Cordarone is very toxic compared to other medicines? Yes, your father can consider switching from Cordarone (amiodarone) to FlecanideFlecarite 50 as an alternative treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. It is important to consult with your father's healthcare provider to discuss the potential benefits and risks of switching medications. The healthcare provider can provide guidance on the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment with FlecanideFlecarite 50 based on your father's individual health condition.
