I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having heart palpitations and his creatinine level is at 2.4. Do you have any advice or suggestions on how we can help him get better?

Heart palpitations can be concerning, especially with a high creatinine level. To help manage heart palpitations, your father can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-50mg twice a day. It is important to also address the underlying cause of the high creatinine level, which may involve medications like Lisinopril (brand name: Prinivil) at a dosage of 10-20mg once a day to protect the kidneys. Additionally, it is crucial to follow a low-sodium diet and stay hydrated. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are essential to monitor his condition.

I'm feeling a strong pulse right below my ribcage. It lasts for a couple of seconds and then sometimes it comes back either 10 seconds or an hour later. Should I be worried about this, and what could it possibly be?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations are sensations of a rapid or irregular heartbeat. In this case, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. If necessary, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-100mg) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Remember to follow your doctor's recommendations and keep track of any changes in your symptoms.
