I'm experiencing some discomfort in the middle of my chest and around my rib cage after exercising. It's a mild pain, especially when I bend or do push-ups. It's not too bad, but it hasn't improved or gone away either. I'm getting a bit concerned. What could be causing this, and is it something I should worry about?

I've been on Metocard XL 50 for a few months now to manage my hypertension, but lately, my heart rate has been dropping to around 50-52. Could this be because of the Metocard XL 50?

I've been dealing with a higher heart rate for about 45 days now, and it's really starting to make me feel nervous and cause chest pain. This actually happened to me about two years ago as well, and back then I did all the tests like ECG and 2D ECHO but they didn't find anything wrong. Now that it's happening again, I'm really concerned. Can you suggest what might be causing this or how I should treat it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. The usual dosage for Propranolol in such cases is 10-40mg, taken 2-3 times a day as needed to control heart rate and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
