I'm experiencing shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my chest, and I've also noticed some pain in my calf muscles when I climb stairs. My heart starts beating really fast too. I've already had an echo stress test and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. What could be causing these symptoms? I'm really confused about what's going on.

View allI've been getting this thumping sensation in my heart at pretty regular intervals, and every time it happens, I start feeling anxious. It's been going on for the past couple of days. Do you have any idea what might be causing it?
This sensation of a thump in your heart at regular intervals, along with feelings of anxiety, could be due to palpitations. Palpitations are feelings that your heart is pounding or racing. In some cases, palpitations can be caused by stress, anxiety, or stimulants like caffeine. However, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take Tab. Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control the palpitations. It is important to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.

I've been taking some medication for high blood pressure and a high heart rate, which was prescribed for a month. After just a couple of days, my BP and heart rate are back to normal. Do I still need to keep taking the tablets for a full month even if everything seems okay now? Is there a chance the medicine could make my blood pressure and heart rate drop too low?
It is important to continue taking the medication for the full duration as prescribed by your doctor. Abruptly stopping the medication can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate. The medication is likely helping to regulate your blood pressure and heart rate, so it is important to complete the full course to ensure long-term control. It is unlikely that the medication will cause low blood pressure and low heart rate now, especially if your levels are currently normal. However, if you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, it is important to consult your doctor for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm worried about my dad's new BP medication. He's been taking Olmazest Beta 25 mg twice a day for a while, and now the cardiologist added Natrilix SR 1.5 mg. Ever since he started the new one, he's been having really bad itching. What could be causing this and what should we do to help him stop itching?
To help alleviate the itching, he can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) at a dose of 10mg once daily. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion like calamine lotion to the affected areas can also provide relief. If the itching persists or becomes severe, it is important to consult with the cardiologist who prescribed the medication for further guidance.
