I'm really worried because I had Covid back in November 2020 and even though I got better with home quarantine, I've been having these palpitations. I was on Prolomet XL 12.5 for three months, but it was stopped and I don't have any other health issues. My weight is 85 kg and I'm 5 ft 7 in. Lately, I find myself googling symptoms a lot and after Covid, a few palpitations really made me anxious, and I think I've developed this fear of heart issues. Between December and April, I had my ECG and 2D ECHO done twice and a 24-hour Holter monitoring, all of which came back normal. But now, for the past couple of days, I've been experiencing a little indigestion. Today, after lunch, I felt a mild pain around my heart, though it disappeared after a few seconds. Could this just be my anxiety, or should I get my heart checked out more thoroughly? Your advice would mean a lot.

Based on your history of palpitations post-Covid and your current symptoms of indigestion and mild pain in the heart area, along with normal ECG, 2D ECHO, and 24-hour Holter monitoring results, it is more likely that your symptoms are related to anxiety rather than a cardiac issue. To address your symptoms of anxiety and cardiophobia, I recommend continuing with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, stress management techniques, and maintaining a healthy diet. Additionally, you can consider therapy or counseling to help manage your anxiety. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you can discuss with your healthcare provider about starting a medication such as Escitalopram 10mg once daily to help with anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your doctor regularly.

I was recently told I have mitral valve regurgitation with trivial mitral regurgitation, and I'm really worried about how long it might take for this to get worse, like to a moderate or severe level. Do most people with this condition experience a worsening over time, and how common is it for it to progress? I'm finding it hard to concentrate on anything else because I'm so anxious about it. Can you help clarify this for me?

I'm 26 and in my family, we dont usually include garlic or onion in our meals, but I've been reading about the benefits of garlic and I'm intrigued. I heard it can help reduce bad cholesterol, which I know I have. I've come across Himalaya Lasuna Garlic pills and Himalaya Wellness Pure Herbs Lasuna Cardiac Wellness tablets. Are there any side effects or downside to taking these? Is there something else I should consider? Would taking 1 or 2 pills a day be okay, or should I be consulting a physician first?
-You can consider taking Himalaya Lasuna (Garlic pills) for its potential benefits, like reducing bad cholesterol. However, it's important to consult your physician before starting any new supplement, especially if you have any underlying health condition
