Question

I'm a bit confused about my prescription. The doctor mentioned something about Prolomet XL R 50mg5mg. Is that the same as saying Prolomet XL 50mg and Prolomet R 50mg5mg? I'm not certain if he wants me to take XL or just R. Could you help me understand the difference?

Question

I've been noticing that when I exercise at the gym, my heart starts beating really fast, almost like it's racing. It seems to take a bit longer than I'd like for everything to calm down afterward. I had some blood work done, and everything came back normal, including my cholesterol levels. My cardiologist has mentioned that everything seems okay, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. What should I do about this?

Question

I'm a bit worried about some stuff I've been experiencing. Sometimes when I talk loudly, I feel this pain in my chest. I usually masturbate maybe twice or thrice a month, often while watching porn or imagining naked women, and that always made my heart race. Recently, I've tried to stop watching but still experience the pain whenever I shout. Could there be a link between these things, or should I be concerned about the pain when speaking loudly?

Question

After reviewing my mother-in-law's recent ECG, it shows something called Concentric LVH with Diastolic dysfunction Type 1. She's 54 years old, and I'm really concerned about whether this is something serious. Can this condition be treated with medication, or is heart surgery necessary? Looking for some guidance here.
