I'm really worried because my heart rate has been staying between 100 and 130 for the past three months. Just a few days ago, I started feeling pain in my chest and arm. What should I do?

Your symptoms of a persistently high heart rate along with chest and arm pain are concerning for a possible cardiac issue. It is important to seek immediate medical attention for further evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg immediately to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation. But, please do not delay seeking medical help.

I'm trying to figure out which beta blocker is better for dealing with anxiety and arrhythmia between propranolol and metoprolol succinate. Could you help me understand the differences? I'm curious if one is more effective than the other or has fewer side effects. Can you advise on what might be best for me?
Regarding anxiety and arrhythmia, both propranolol and metoprolol succinate are commonly used beta blockers. However, propranolol is typically preferred for anxiety due to its additional effects on reducing physical symptoms of anxiety such as tremors and palpitations. On the other hand, metoprolol succinate is often preferred for arrhythmias due to its specific effects on the heart's electrical activity. For anxiety, propranolol is usually prescribed at a dose of 20-40mg taken 2-3 times daily as needed. For arrhythmias, metoprolol succinate is typically prescribed at a dose of 25-100mg once daily. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate medication and dosage for your specific condition.
