I'm doing exercise six days a week and I've noticed my heart rate is a bit high sometimes. There are moments when my heart feels chilly, and occasionally, after eating, it feels like there's a burning sensation. Should I be worried about these symptoms or is this normal?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of heartburn and possibly some irregular heartbeats. For heartburn, you can try taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg as needed after meals. If the symptoms persist, you can also consider taking an H2 blocker like Zantac (ranitidine) 150mg twice daily. For irregular heartbeats, it's important to monitor your heart rate and rhythm. If you continue to experience high heart rate, you may need to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation.

View allI've been having palpitations for a year, so I went for a full body check, and they told me I have mitral valve prolapse which was supposedly causing the palpitations. I was advised to do cardio exercises, and I've been good with that. Recently though, the palpitations have become worse, especially when I lie flat, and it's been keeping me up at night. I'm also feeling anxious at bedtime, but I'm fine otherwise. It's really affecting my sleep and overall quality of life. Do you think I should see a doctor about this?
Yes, it is important to seek medical attention for your worsening symptoms. In your case, since you have a history of mitral valve prolapse and severe palpitations affecting your quality of life, it is recommended to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your palpitations and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, they may suggest lifestyle modifications and relaxation techniques to help improve your sleep quality and overall well-being.

I'm really concerned about my mom because she's been taking Telmisartan 40 for over a year now. I've noticed she's been feeling fatigued and dizzy, and I'm worried these might be side effects from the medicine. Her blood pressure readings have been normal for a while, so I'm just wondering if it's safe for her to stop taking it?
abruptly discontinuing the medication can lead to rebound hypertension; if her blood pressure remains normal, her doctor may consider gradually tapering off the medication or switching to a different treatment, but it's essential to weigh the potential benefits of stopping the medication against the risks of uncontrolled hypertension.

I'm taking Metocard XL 12.5 once daily as prescribed by my doctor. My blood pressure is currently at 11276 and my pulse is 59. Is it okay to take the medication just once a day, or should I consider twice daily?
The medication prescribed to you, Metocard XL 12.5, is typically taken once a day for the management of high blood pressure. Since your current blood pressure is within normal range (11276) and your pulse rate is 59, it seems that once daily dosing is appropriate for you. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and frequency of the medication.
