I'm really concerned because I have a history of minoxidil poisoning and now I'm experiencing chest pain even when I'm just resting. I also feel like my heart starts beating really fast out of nowhere, like palpitations. I don't have a smoking history, so I'm not sure what's causing this. Could this be related to the past poisoning, or should I be worried about something else?

Getting chest pain while resting and palpitations like symptoms can be concerning. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take aspirin 325mg for chest pain as it can help with heart-related issues. Please do not delay in seeking medical help.

Hey there doc, I'm a 38-year-old guy working in software, and I've noticed something strange lately. My resting heart rate used to be between 60-65 bpm when I'd check it after waking up, and that's when I was working out regularly. I was doing weight training five days a week focusing on different muscle groups each day. But ever since the lockdown and not being able to hit the gym for about two months, I've seen my resting heart rate drop to 50-55 bpm. It's weird because I thought it'd go the other way around without my workouts. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about or is it normal? What's happening here?
it's great that you are monitoring your resting heart rate regularly. A decrease in resting heart rate can be a normal response to regular exercise and improved cardiovascular fitness. Since you have stopped your weight training routine for the past 2 months due to the lockdown, it is expected to see a decrease in your resting heart rate. However, if you are not experiencing any other symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath, a resting heart rate of 50-55 bpm is generally considered normal for physically active individuals. I recommend staying physically active with alternative home workouts or activities to maintain your cardiovascular fitness. Additionally, ensure you are getting adequate rest and managing stress levels. If you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and evaluation

I've been having this stabbing chest pain for the past couple of days, especially when I laugh or cough. I've already tried taking Rantac and Gelusil, but it hasn't helped at all. It's making me feel really uneasy. Can you tell me what's going on or what I should do?
