I'm really concerned because I recently did a 24-hour Holter monitor test, and I was told I have tachycardia. All my other tests like the ECG, echo, and X-ray came back normal, which is a bit confusing. The doctor mentioned that my tachycardia might be due to anxiety since sometimes I experience palpitations and have trouble breathing. I'm wondering if it's okay to take Zapiz 0.25mg for my anxiety every other day or if there might be any side effects I should worry about. Any advice would be appreciated.

Zapiz 0.25mg is a brand name for Clonazepam, which is commonly used to treat anxiety disorders. However, it is important to note that Clonazepam is typically not recommended for daily, long-term use due to the risk of tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms. It is best to use it on an "as-needed" basis for anxiety symptoms. For your palpitations and difficulty breathing related to anxiety, your doctor may consider prescribing a different type of medication such as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) for long-term management of anxiety. These medications are less likely to cause dependence compared to Clonazepam. I recommend discussing with your doctor about alternative medications for managing your anxiety symptoms and to address any concerns about potential side effects of Zapiz 0.25mg.

View allI had MVR surgery back in October 2019 and have been on Cordarone 100 mg since then. Over the last month and a half, my heart rate has been consistently between 60-65 bpm. Is this a normal range or should I get it checked by my cardiologist?
A heart rate consistently between 60-65 bpm is generally considered within the normal range for adults, but it's crucial to consider your specific situation. Since you have a history of MVR surgery and are on Cordarone, it's recommended to consult with your cardiologist for their specific recommendations based on your individual health profile.

I've been dealing with some chest pain for the past couple of days. It's kind of in the chest area and I've noticed it spreading to my shoulder and back too. The pain isn't super intense, more like a discomfort or small pressure. Also, my body temperature seems to be fluctuating a lot, like I feel hot one moment and cold the next. What could this be?

So, I found out about three weeks ago that I have sinus bradycardia, and my heart rate is 54. I've been doing annual health checkups, and noticed that last year my heart rate was also under 60. Can you help me understand what this all means? Should I be making any changes or taking any steps to address this? I'm pretty curious and a bit worried about what's next for me.
Sinus bradycardia is a condition where the heart rate is lower than normal, specifically less than 60 beats per minute. In your case, with a heart rate of 54, it falls into the category of bradycardia. It can be a normal finding in some individuals, especially athletes, but it can also be a sign of an underlying medical issue. To determine the cause and appropriate management of your bradycardia, further evaluation is necessary. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, which may include an ECG, Holter monitor, or other cardiac tests. Based on the underlying cause identified, treatment options may include medication or lifestyle modifications. In the meantime, it is important to monitor your symptoms, such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath, and seek medical attention if you experience any concerning symptoms. Avoiding stimulants like caffeine and nicotine, staying hydrated, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise can also be beneficial.
