I'm feeling a tickling sensation in my chest and what's kind of like fluttering, which makes me anxious and sad. It's also strange because I get this mild headache only at night. Any idea what might be going on?

To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as paracetamol for the headache. Additionally, you can consider using anti-anxiety medication such as lorazepam at a low dose to help with the feelings of anxiety and sadness. It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm feeling a bit anxious because I've had my mitral valve replaced with a mechanical one and now I need to be on Acitron, a blood thinner, for the rest of my life. Could you tell me which foods I should be steering clear of? I'm worried about how my diet might affect my condition.

As your doctor, Id advise you to avoid foods high in vitamin K, like spinach, kale, and broccoli, as they can interfere with Acitrons effectiveness. Limit alcohol, grapefruit, and cranberry products, and always maintain a consistent diet to avoid fluctuations in your INR levels.

My brother-in-law had a heart attack yesterday morning and was rushed to the hospital. The doctors said he had multiple strokes at home and in the hospital. They also mentioned that one of his arteries was previously blocked and now it's burst. He's been on a ventilator since yesterday morning, but now the doctors are saying he is no more and are asking us to remove the ventilator. What should we do in this situation? Is there anything else we can try?

I am sorry to hear about your brother-in-law's condition. It sounds like he experienced a severe medical emergency. In this situation, the focus is on providing comfort and support to the patient and their loved ones. It is important to trust the medical team's expertise and decision-making. In such cases, the medical team may use medications like Morphine to help manage pain and provide comfort to the patient during their final moments. Additionally, medications like Midazolam may be used to help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. These medications can be administered intravenously at appropriate doses as needed. It is important to have open communication with the medical team and express any concerns or questions you may have during this difficult time.
