I'm feeling really uneasy because for the past 4 months I've been having these weird jerks and palpitations in my chest that last just a couple of seconds. They come and go without any warning. It's like my heart just stops for a moment, and it's really awkward when it happens, although there's no chest pain. I exercise regularly and all my tests like ECG, 2D ECHO, HOLTER ECG, BP, FBS, and Thyroid profile came back normal. But these feelings haven't stopped and I'm scared. Could these jerks be signs of something serious like a cardiac arrest or any other heart issues? What's causing them and the palpitations? I've even felt some pain around the right side of my chest and I'm worried does this relate to cardiac problems, or is it only the left side that's dangerous?

View allI'm really curious about something regarding a heart failure patient who has COPD, severe LV dysfunction, hypothyroidism, hypertension, and hyponatremia. Why would Montair LC be prescribed in this case? I've heard it being used for respiratory conditions, but I'm not sure how it fits into the treatment for someone with such a complex medical history. Could you help me understand?
Montair LC is given to heart failure patients with COPD, severe LV dysfunction, hypothyroidism, HTN, and hyponatremia to help manage their asthma symptoms. Montair LC is a combination medication containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Montelukast helps in reducing inflammation in the airways, which can be beneficial for patients with COPD and asthma. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that can help relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itching caused by allergies. The dosage of Montair LC can vary depending on the patient's condition, so it is important to follow the prescribed dosage by your healthcare provider.

Can drinking lots of water lower blood pressure?
Drinking water has role in blood pressure maintenance. When a person is dehydrated BP drops initially but later on kidneys reabsorbs more water rather than excreting in urine and vasopressin is released which constricts the blood vessels, both together can increase blood pressure. Hence, every person should drink at least 3 liters of water in a day to prevent dehydration and to maintain BP. One should also note that excess water intake should also be avoided which can put more stress on heart and cause fluid retention in the body.

I'm a bit concerned because this morning and afternoon I noticed I'm having some trouble with shortness of breath and some on-and-off pain in my left armpit area. I went for a 4 km walk this evening and felt a bit better afterward, with not as much shortness of breath. Could these symptoms be related to my recent COVID recovery a few months ago? I used fabiflu, dolo, and multivitamins during that time. Also, I've had gastric issues that seem to have worsened post-COVID, and I'm on suloxid o for that. What could be going on with me?
