I'm a 23-year-old female, around 130 lbs, and I'm really anxious about health stuff recently, especially after reading about various symptoms. A while back, I had the flu with fever, diarrhea, and a low appetite, and though those symptoms are gone, I still feel weak and lightheaded. It got me worried about an electrolyte imbalance. I took two 150 mg doses of fluconazole for a candida infection right after my flu, and I read that's something that could affect potassium levels. Sometimes, I think I'm having heart palpitations, with my resting pulse varying from 59 to 75. It feels like my heart is either pounding or too weak at times. The lightheadedness often kicks in after I walk a lot or panic. I've been trying to up my potassium intake but can't seem to reach the 4700mg target. Do you think this could lead to a significant imbalance or even a cardiac issue?

View allI'm a bit worried about my recent TMT report. It came back as mildly positive for provocable ischemia. I'm currently taking atenolol 50mg and atorvastatin 10mg. What does this mean for my heart health, and should I be concerned or is there more I need to do?
A TMT report indicating mildly positive provokable ischemia suggests potential reduced blood flow to the heart during exertion, indicating coronary artery disease. Given that you are taking Atenolol 50 mg and Atorvastatin 10 mg, it is crucial to review these findings with your cardiologist. They may recommend additional diagnostic tests such as a coronary angiogram or stress echocardiogram to further evaluate your condition. In the meantime, continue taking your medications as prescribed, and adhere to lifestyle modifications like a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise within advised limits, and stress management. If you experience any worsening symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

Not too long ago, I had heartburn for over three weeks, and my doctor recommended Robo 20 tablets which helped with that.

I've been having some issues with fast pulse and feeling short of breath. It's weird because I don't really feel any heart pain, but I do start sweating. It seems like drinking water helps a bit, but whenever I'm fasting, these symptoms seem to get worse. I'm a bit worried and trying to figure out what could be going on. Any advice?
Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.
