I'm really worried about my dad, who's 72, because he's been having some issues with his heart not beating regularly. Lately, hes been feeling very weak. His echo cardiography says he has systolic failure, and his chest x-ray shows there's fluid in his chest. I'm not sure if I should be taking him to see a cardiologist or a pulmonologist? What could possibly be going on with him?

View allI'm feeling really anxious because I've had this mild chest pain between my right breast and the center of my chest for the last 15 days. It happens when I twist my shoulder to the right. I started taking Pantoprazole 40 and Myospaz Forte as recommended by a local doctor three days ago, but the pain is still there. What should I do now?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain in your chest area. In addition to the medications you are already taking, you can try taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the painful area and practicing gentle stretching exercises for the chest and shoulder muscles may also help alleviate the discomfort. Make sure to avoid any activities that worsen the pain and try to maintain good posture. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your local doctor for further evaluation and possibly imaging studies to rule out any other underlying causes of your chest pain.

I'm experiencing a bit of chest pressure both in the mornings when I wake up and again at night. It's starting to really worry me, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm genuinely concerned.
A small chest pressure in the morning and at night could be due to acid reflux or heartburn. I would recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps alleviate the symptoms. You can take 1-2 tablets as needed after meals and before bedtime. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really confused about why I'm experiencing heart palpitations even when I'm not feeling anxious. For the past year, I've been dealing with anxiety and have been taking etizolem and propranolol for a few months to help with it. But if I miss just one dose of etizolem, my heart starts racing and feels very uncomfortable. It's really scary. Is it possible that these palpitations are more related to anxiety, like my psychiatrist suggests, or could it be something else, maybe related to my heart? I haven't had panic attacks or any other anxiety symptoms recently, just the palpitations when I skip the medication.
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and possibly withdrawal effects from Etizolam. Etizolam is a benzodiazepine derivative used to treat anxiety disorders, and sudden discontinuation can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as increased heart rate or palpitations. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that helps with heart palpitations and can be used in combination with Etizolam. To address your concerns, it is important to follow your psychiatrist's advice regarding the management of anxiety and heart palpitations. It is possible that the palpitations you are experiencing when skipping Etizolam are due to withdrawal effects, as benzodiazepines should be tapered off gradually under medical supervision to avoid such symptoms. In addition to continuing your current medications, you may also benefit from therapy or counseling to address underlying anxiety issues. It is important to discuss any concerns or new symptoms with your psychiatrist for proper management.
