I'm having this continuous chest pain since morning, and I think it might be a gas lock. I had dosa this morning, but I've been struggling with this issue for about 10 days now. I've been taking homeopathy, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Could it still just be gas, or do you think it's something else? Should I consider a different treatment?

View allI've been experiencing these weird palpitations for the past four months whenever I lie down, and I'm really starting to worry. I had my blood pressure, thyroid levels, ECG, and an echocardiogram checked, and everything came back normal except for the ECG showing sinus tachycardia. Also, I had Covid about ten months ago. I'm not sure what I should do next. Any advice?
Given that your BP, thyroid, ECG, and echo were normal, but you are still experiencing palpitations, particularly when lying down, it is important to further investigate potential causes. Sinus tachycardia can be due to various factors, including stress, anxiety, dehydration, or even residual effects from a previous COVID-19 infection. Since you've had COVID-19, it could also be related to post-viral syndrome, which sometimes affects the heart. You should consider consulting a cardiologist for a more detailed evaluation, which may include a 24-hour Holter monitor to track your heart rate variability over a day, especially during sleep. Additionally, ensuring adequate hydration, managing stress, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine might help reduce palpitations.

I'm currently on metapro xl 50 mg and telmasartan 40 mg for about a month now because I've been dealing with spikes in blood pressure and sinus tachycardia. My doctor ruled out any secondary causes. I'm only 20 and I'm worried if I'm going to be on these medications for the rest of my life. They've helped me feel better and my heart feels calmer, but my doctor mentioned that if I dont continue, my heart might get damaged over time. Could you provide some advice on this?
It's good to hear that you are feeling better with the medications. Since you are experiencing spikes in blood pressure and sinus tachycardia, it is important to manage these conditions to prevent any potential damage to your heart in the long term. Both Metapro XL (Metoprolol) 50 mg and Telmisartan 40 mg are commonly used to control blood pressure and heart rate. It is possible that you may need to take these medications long-term to keep your condition under control and protect your heart health. It's essential to follow your doctor's advice and continue taking the medications as prescribed. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, make sure to discuss them with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

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?
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.
