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 a bit worried about my health as I recently got some test results back. My lipoprotein ALPA level is 39.1, and my hemoglobin count is 17.7. I've already done an ECG and a 2D echo, and those reports came back fine. Should I be concerned about these numbers indicating any heart disease, even though the other tests were okay?
Your lipoprotein (A) value of 39.1 is within normal range, which is a good sign. A high level of LP(a) is considered a risk factor for heart disease, but your value is not concerning. Your hemoglobin (HB) level of 17.7 is also within normal range. Since your ECG and 2D echo reports are fine, it is unlikely that you have any significant heart disease based on the information provided. It's important to continue monitoring your lipid levels and overall heart health regularly. No specific medication is needed at this point.

I've been experiencing this weird, needle-like pain on the left side of my chest for over a month now, about 34 days to be exact. It comes and goes, and it's really starting to worry me. I got an ECG done, but it came out normal. Should I be concerned, or is there something else I should be looking into?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina. Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when your heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. Since your ECG is normal, it's good news that there may not be any major heart issues. However, it's still important to address the symptoms you are experiencing. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, you can try using nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain relief. It is important to rest and avoid strenuous activities until the symptoms improve. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
