I'm experiencing at least one skipped heartbeat every day, and it feels like a sudden loud thump in my chest. It's making me really scared. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

I've been feeling really anxious ever since I lost my job last month. The anxiety seems to be affecting my heart rate too. It was usually under 90, but in the last 20 days, I've noticed it's been higher. I've recently managed to get my resting heart rate down to under 75 by starting brisk walking and taking an arjuna tablet once a day. However, I've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side during my walks, and my heart rate shoots up to 130. I just did an ECG test because of this. Can you take a look at my ECG report and let me know what might be going on and the best way to handle it?

I'm taking Eliquis 5mg twice daily since I had a pulmonary thrombosis embolism a while back. I'm doing well now, but my doctor advised me to stay on it for life. I'm really curious about what the long-term side effects could be with this medication because I'd want to adjust my diet and lifestyle accordingly. Can you share some insights?

Eliquis (Apixaban) is a commonly prescribed anticoagulant used for preventing blood clots. Some potential side effects of Eliquis in the long run may include an increased risk of bleeding, such as nosebleeds, bruising, or prolonged bleeding from cuts. It is important to be cautious when participating in activities that may increase the risk of injury. Additionally, some individuals may experience gastrointestinal issues like stomach pain or indigestion. To minimize the risk of side effects while taking Eliquis, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, regular exercise, and staying hydrated. It is also important to inform any healthcare providers about your Eliquis use before undergoing any medical procedures or surgeries to prevent excessive bleeding.
