I'm currently taking 4mg of Acitrom because I had an AVR procedure. My doctor suggested adding Ecosprin 150 mg, but since Ecosprin is also a blood thinner, I'm feeling a bit uncertain about taking both. Could I be at risk for any complications, or is this combination really safe?

Taking Ecosprin 150 mg along with acitrom can increase the risk of bleeding due to their combined blood-thinning effects. It is important to follow your doctor's advice, but if you have concerns, it is best to discuss them with your doctor.

View allI've been having these frequent palpitations lately, and my heart seems to be pounding harder than usual. I had an echo done a couple of months ago, and it came out normal. I just did an ECG a couple of days ago, and I've attached the results. Should I be worried about this?
The ECG you have attached shows sinus tachycardia, which means your heart is beating faster than normal. Since your echo two months back was normal, this may be due to other factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or thyroid issues. I recommend you to take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate and palpitations. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling really anxious today because after taking Bromelain this morning, my blood pressure machine has been showing an irregular heartbeat consistently. My BP reading is 133 over 80, and my heart rate is 71. I'm not sure if this is serious enough to warrant a trip to the hospital. Any insights on what I should do?
Bromelain is a natural supplement derived from pineapples that may cause side effects such as irregular heartbeat in some individuals. Since you are experiencing this symptom along with uncertainty, it is advisable to seek medical attention. You can take 25mg of Metoprolol to help regulate your heartbeat. If the irregular heartbeat persists or worsens, please visit the hospital for further evaluation and management.

I've been having this odd pinching sensation on my left side, and my doctor suggested getting a 2D Echo and an ECG. They said everything came back normal, but now I'm finding it harder to breathe. I'm not really sure what's going on. Can anyone offer a second opinion on this? I've got my 2D Echo and ECG reports attached.
Based on the symptoms you are experiencing and the normal results of your 2d Echo and Ecg, it is possible that you may be dealing with a respiratory issue. I recommend trying an inhaler such as Salbutamol (Ventolin) 100mcg, 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. Additionally, you can consider using a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone (Flovent) 100mcg, 2 puffs twice a day to help with any underlying inflammation in the airways. It would also be beneficial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible pulmonary function tests.
