I'm curious about any long-term effects of taking two Limcee tablets a day. I've been on them for about two months and noticed my immunity has improved a lot, so I'm thinking about continuing with them. Are there any concerns I should be aware of?

Potential Causes*

Anxiety and stress: As you mentioned, anxiety can contribute to an elevated heart rate and palpitations. Career and family concerns are common stressors.

Caffeine intake: Consuming 3-4 cups of tea per day may be contributing to your elevated heart rate. Caffeine can increase heart rate and blood pressure.

Dehydration: Inadequate hydration can cause an increase in heart rate. Ensure you're drinking enough water throughout the day.

Electrolyte imbalance: An imbalance of essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, or calcium can affect heart rate.

Hypothyroidism: An underactive thyroid gland can cause an elevated heart rate. However, this is less likely given your normal echo results.

Mitral valve prolapse: A condition where the mitral valve doesn't close properly, leading to palpitations and an elevated heart rate.

Next Steps

Consult a cardiologist: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and determine the best course of action.

Reduce caffeine intake: Try limiting your tea consumption to 1-2 cups per day to see if your heart rate improves.

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure proper hydration.

Monitor your heart rate: Keep track of your heart rate and palpitations to identify any patterns or triggers.

Consider stress management techniques: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to help manage anxiety.

I'm a bit worried because I had dengue fever 5 days ago, and when I left the hospital, my platelet count was at 150,000. But yesterday, it dropped to 140,000. Is this kind of drop normal, or should I be concerned about it?

A slight decrease in platelet count from 150,000 to 140,000 five days after discharge from dengue fever is not uncommon, as platelet counts can fluctuate during recovery; however, it's essential to monitor the trend and watch for any further significant drops or symptoms like bleeding or bruising

I recently got some tests done for Vitamin B and Vitamin D deficiencies, and the reports showed there's some issue. I'm feeling a bit concerned and would really appreciate some guidance on what steps I should take next or what these results might mean for my health. What should I be expecting in terms of treatment or lifestyle changes?

Delayed periods after stopping Duphaston is common, especially with PCOD. Possible reasons: 1. *Hormonal adjustment*: Your body might take time to adjust to the hormonal changes after stopping Duphaston. 2. *Withdrawal bleeding*: Duphaston can cause withdrawal bleeding, which might be delayed or irregular. Actions to consider: 1. *Wait a few more days*: Give your body some more time to adjust. 2. *Consult your doctor*: Reach out to your doctor for guidance and to rule out any underlying issues. 3. *Track your symptoms*: Monitor your symptoms, and if you experience heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or other concerns, seek medical attention.
