I've been dealing with palpitations since 2009, and although I've had some treatment, they haven't completely stoppedjust reduced in frequency. The doctor advised me to take Rivotril when they start, since they never seem to stop on their own. I'm worried about why they persist and if there's something else I could try? Could there be long-term effects if I'm taking Rivotril for so long? Any advice would be appreciated.

Since you have been experiencing palpitations since 2009 and have been advised to take rivotril when they occur, I recommend discussing with your doctor about trying beta-blockers such as Metoprolol at a low dose to help manage the palpitations more effectively. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg once daily, which can be adjusted based on your response. Beta-blockers are commonly used to reduce the frequency and severity of palpitations by regulating the heart rate and rhythm.

I've been dealing with high triglyceride and cholesterol levels, like 245 and 280. I started taking this med, ROZUCOR 10 mg, which helped, but I ended up with really cold feet, body aches, and some weird neuropathy feelings. My tests like H1bac at 4.9 and BS at 94, and Tsh came back normal. The symptoms eased off once I stopped the meds. Now, I'm wondering if there are other medications I could try for cholesterol that might not give me such side effects?

I've been experiencing some really strange sensations around my heart. It feels heavy, like my heart is beating too hard or could stop at any moment. Sometimes I even feel like an electric shock goes through my body. I've had an echo and TMT test, and both came back normal. The doctors say my heart is perfect and healthy, but I can't shake the feeling that I might have a cardiac arrest or heart attack at any time. I'm 18 years old and honestly, it's kind of freaking me out. Can you give me some advice or insights on what might be going on?

I've been experiencing some chest pain in the center of my chest after I eat. It's been happening for the past couple of days, and the pain comes and goes throughout the day. Sometimes, the pain is in my heart and left chest, and it's really bothering me. I also feel it a lot in the right chest, in the middle of the two chests. I can't easily visit a clinic because it's far away and with corona, I'm trying to stay safe. Is there any medicine you can suggest that I can get from a medical shop nearby? I'm really worried and would appreciate your help.

take tablet zerodol and tablet pantoprazole
