Is it gas or heart attack?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Heart attack feels like pressure on chest cannot be relieved by antacids,associated with breathlessness. One can not entirely differentiate chest pain due to gas from chest pain due to heart attack based on symptoms only. You may need to visit a hospital and get evaluated by a health-care provider.

I've noticed my heart rate has been pretty low for the past couple of days, like around 55 beats per minute when I'm just resting or sleeping. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal?
Slow heart rate can be concerning, especially if it persists for a few days. A heart rate of 55 beats per minute or above at rest or during sleeping time may indicate bradycardia. It is important to identify the underlying cause of this slow heart rate. Some common causes of bradycardia include medication side effects, electrolyte imbalances, heart disease, or an underactive thyroid gland. If you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath along with the slow heart rate, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Your doctor may recommend further evaluation, which may include an electrocardiogram (ECG) or other tests to determine the cause of the bradycardia. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help regulate the heart rate. However, the specific treatment will depend on the underlying cause of the slow heart rate. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan.

I'm currently taking Corbis 1.25 as a beta blocker for blood pressure, and while it seems to be under control, my heart rate sometimes drops to 56 or goes up to 68. I'm feeling dizzy on and off, and I'm worried if this slow heart rate is the reason. Is it okay for me to stop taking my blood pressure medication?
It seems like the beta blocker medication you are taking is effectively controlling your blood pressure, but it may be causing your heart rate to decrease at times, leading to symptoms like dizziness. It is important not to stop the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor. Instead, you can discuss with your doctor about adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication that may better suit your needs. In the meantime, if you experience severe dizziness or any concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
