I've been dealing with a super fast heartbeat whenever I lie down in bed for the last 56 days. It's weird because I don't feel any pain or like my chest is congested, but I do feel a lot of anxiety. I'm 24, my height is 5'9", and I weigh about 80kgs. Whenever I'm walking or sitting, my heartbeat seems normal; it's just when I'm laying down that it speeds up. Do you have any idea what could be going on? Is it something serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called orthostatic intolerance, where your heart rate increases when you change positions, such as lying down. This can be due to various reasons such as dehydration, anemia, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. However, it's important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can try increasing your fluid intake and consuming electrolytes. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical advice promptly.

View allI've been having these random chest pains for the last three months and just did a TMT test today. I couldn't go past 7 minutes, and my heart rate shot up to 190 really fast, so they stopped the test early. The doctor said it's nothing to worry about, but I'm still feeling a bit heavyheaded and stressed. I also have anxiety and my heart rate was already at 114 before the test even started. Does all this sound normal or okay?
It sounds like you experienced some discomfort during the TMT test due to your anxiety and elevated heart rate. Since the doctor mentioned that there is nothing to worry about, it is likely that the symptoms you experienced were related to your anxiety rather than any underlying heart issue. However, it is important to address your anxiety to prevent such symptoms in the future. To help manage your anxiety and heart rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for anxiety-related tachycardia is 25-100mg once daily. This medication can help lower your heart rate and reduce symptoms of anxiety. Additionally, you may benefit from an anti-anxiety medication such as Alprazolam. The usual dosage for anxiety is 0.25-0.5mg three times daily. This medication can help alleviate feelings of anxiety and reduce physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate. It is important to follow up with your doctor to discuss your symptoms and explore treatment options for your anxiety. Regular exercise, stress management techniques, and therapy can also be beneficial in managing anxiety and improving overall heart health.

I'm experiencing heart palpitations and I'm really worried. I usually masturbate about 5 times a week and I'm constantly stressed out. Can anxiety and masturbation lead to heart palpitations or cause chest discomfort?

So, my dad had blood clots a couple of months ago, but after being treated in the hospital hes doing fine now. Recently, his CT pulmonary angiogram came back normal, which is great. The pulmonologist said he should take Eliquis 5 mg for life. But I noticed that Apigat 5 has the same ingredient, Apixaban 5 mg. Can he take Apigat 5 instead of Eliquis 5? I've attached details for both meds.
yes you can use ,as they have same content
