I'm really worried because I've been feeling dizzy for a few days now. Since yesterday morning, I've also noticed a slight pain in the upper left side of my chest, and its making me uncomfortable. I'm not sure what's causing this since I have a gastric problem, but it doesn't feel related to that. Who should I reach out to about this? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm currently taking Concor Cor 2.5 mg for my palpitations, and I've been on it for about two months now. I'm thinking about stopping it, but I'm not sure if I can just stop taking it all of a sudden or if there's something specific I need to do. Can I just stop taking it, or is there a specific process I should follow?

No u cannot stop it suddenly it may worsen the symptoms..So better not to stop the medication

I've been having these palpitations for a while now, and lately, my hands start shaking with each heartbeat. If I rest something like a pen on my chest, it moves up and down. Plus, there's this visible pulsation, but I can't really pinpoint exactly where it's happening in my chest or abdomen. What could this mean?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations along with visible pulsations. This can be concerning and may require further evaluation. One possible medication that can help with palpitations is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). The usual dosage for palpitations is 25-100mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I've had a 2D echo and a stress test done, and both came back normal. Does this mean I'm in the clear from having a heart attack, or is there still a risk?

echo is normal,, nothing to worry.
