I'm dealing with high blood pressure and feeling a bit uneasy. I've been having a little pain in my left chest and sometimes in my right arm. I'm currently taking Amlovas 5mg every morning. Do you think the medication is helping enough, and is it normal for these symptoms to still be happening? Should I be worried about this pain?

View allIm 18 and experiencing palpitations out of nowhere, like my heart races hard even when Im just chilling. Its weird because Im not anxious, and all my tests like ECG and chest x-ray are showing normal results with normal sinus rhythm. My cardiac shadow came out normal too. So what could be causing these palpitations when Im just at rest?
It's good that your ECG and chest x-ray results are normal. Palpitations can sometimes occur without any underlying heart condition. In your case, since there is no apparent cause for the palpitations, you may consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help reduce the palpitations and the sensation of your heart beating fast. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may also help alleviate the symptoms.

My mom has a 28 mm hole in her heart. Can the immune system heal this naturally, or is surgery necessary? I'm also curious whether treatments like Ayurveda might help. What do you suggest?
A 28 mm hole in the heart, likely referring to a congenital defect such as an atrial septal defect (ASD) or a ventricular septal defect (VSD), typically requires medical intervention. This size of a defect is unlikely to close on its own and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Surgery or a catheter-based procedure is usually required to close such a large defect. Ayurveda or other alternative therapies are not effective for treating structural heart defects. It's crucial to consult with a cardiologist to discuss the appropriate treatment options for your mother

I'm trying to figure out how much rosuvastatin I should be taking. I'm a diabetic and my blood sugar is managed with medication. I also have hypertension that's under control with medication. I'm not taking aspirin. Could you help me understand how many milligrams I need? Also, between rosuvastatin and atorvastatin, which one would be better for me?
Based on your lipid profile and medical history, it is recommended to start with rosuvastatin. The usual starting dose for rosuvastatin in your case would be 10 mg once daily. It is important to monitor your lipid levels regularly and adjust the dose as needed to achieve the target levels. Atorvastatin can also be effective, but based on current guidelines, rosuvastatin is preferred for its potency and efficacy in lowering cholesterol levels. Start with rosuvastatin 10 mg once daily and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
