I've been experiencing this breathlessness, and every time I check my pulse, it feels like there's a mild heartbeat with a skipped beat. Should I be worried about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Sometimes feeling breathless and experiencing palpitations can be concerning. It's important to get evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can try using a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help with the palpitations and reduce the sensation of skipped beats. However, it's crucial to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan from a healthcare professional.

I've noticed this sharp pain in my chest right after I've had lunch, and it's happened a couple of times now. The pain only sticks around for about 30 seconds, but it's like someone's pinching my heart. I also realized I didn't drink any water after eating. Could this be connected to not drinking water, or is it something else I should be worried about?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of heartburn or acid reflux. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try taking an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg as needed after meals. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking water regularly. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed over the last couple of days that my blood pressure has been lower than usual. My systolic pressure is hovering between 90 and 100, and the diastolic numbers are around 50 to 60. I'm a bit concerned about what's causing this drop. What might be going on and what should I do about it?
Low blood pressure, with systolic pressure between 90 to 100 mmHg and diastolic pressure between 50 to 60 mmHg, can be caused by various factors, including dehydration, certain medications, heart conditions, endocrine issues, or nutritional deficiencies. To address this, ensure you are well-hydrated and consider consuming a balanced diet with adequate salt intake. Avoid sudden changes in posture, such as quickly standing up from a seated or lying position. It's essential to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your low blood pressure and receive appropriate advice or adjustments to any current medications.
