I'm feeling a bit anxious because my heart rate has increased after I took pregabalin. Do you know how long this might last or what I should do next?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
After taking pregabalin and experiencing an increased heart rate, it is important to monitor your symptoms closely. The increased heart rate can be a side effect of pregabalin. It is advisable to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. To address the increased heart rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The recommended dosage for Metoprolol in this case would be 25-50mg orally once daily. This medication can help lower your heart rate and alleviate the symptoms you are experiencing. The duration of the increased heart rate effect can vary from person to person. It is recommended to continue monitoring your symptoms and consult your healthcare provider if the symptoms persist or worsen.

View allI'm really worried because even though I had an ECG, Echo, and a chest X-ray done about three months ago and they all showed normal results, including my SPO2 and pulse rate, I'm still experiencing pain in my left chest and left hand regularly for the past 6 to 7 months. The ECG did mention sinus tachycardia with sinus arrhythmia and a low T wave in V6. I also had Bell's palsy about a year ago but have completely recovered since then. Could all of this be connected somehow? What should I do next?
Given that your recent ECG, Echocardiogram, and chest X-ray were normal but you are still experiencing persistent left chest and hand pain, it is crucial to further investigate the cause of your symptoms. Sinus tachycardia and sinus arrhythmia noted on your ECG can sometimes be benign, but persistent pain warrants further evaluation. You should follow up with a cardiologist for a thorough review, and they may recommend additional tests like a stress test or Holter monitoring. Additionally, it might be beneficial to consider non-cardiac causes of your pain such as musculoskeletal issues or gastrointestinal problems like acid reflux. Managing stress and anxiety can also help alleviate symptoms. Please ensure you consult your healthcare provider to explore these options and manage your symptoms effectively.

I've been diagnosed with MVP with mild MR and was really anxious during the echocardiogram. My doctor prescribed Concor 2.5, but since I started taking it, I've been experiencing palpitations all over my body. Could this mean I've developed irregular rhythms? I'm really worried, and my neck is tingling often. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It sounds like you may be experiencing side effects from Concor (Bisoprolol) 2.5. The palpitations and irregular rhythms you are feeling could be due to the medication. I recommend contacting your doctor to discuss these symptoms. In the meantime, you can consider switching to a different beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (Lopressor) at a lower dose. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
