I've been experiencing a burning sensation across my chest, including the areas near my armpits on both sides. I'm worried it might be related to a heart issue. Could this be the case?

The presence of a burning sensation in the chest, particularly given your history and recent exercise, could indeed be related to a cardiac issue, particularly if accompanied by other symptoms like shortness of breath, sweating, or radiating pain. It's essential to seek immediate medical attention to rule out any serious conditions such as angina or a heart attack. In the meantime, avoid any further physical exertion and try to stay calm. Getting evaluated by a healthcare provider will allow for necessary tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment.

View allI'm experiencing a high heart rate at intervals. What could be causing this? I don't have any symptoms related to COVID.
High heart rate in periodic breaks can be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, dehydration, caffeine intake, or underlying heart conditions. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25mg) to help regulate your heart rate.

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been feeling some pain on the left side and backside of her heart after getting her first dose of Covaxin in September 2021, and then she noticed some blood clot patches on her body. Her heart rate also suddenly increased to around 130 at one point. We saw a general physician who mentioned something about Gilbert syndrome and suggested beta blockers, specifically Metalour X25, for life. But I'm really concerned about any side effects on her or our child, especially since she's been managing everything on her own for the last two years. Are there any alternatives in Ayurveda that might work instead of lifetime medication? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
Metalour X-25 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker commonly used to treat various heart conditions, including high blood pressure and certain types of heart disease. In the case of Gilbert syndrome, beta blockers like Metoprolol can help manage symptoms such as rapid heart rate. The dosage of Metoprolol can vary depending on the individual's condition, but a common starting dose is around 25-50mg once daily. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by the prescribing physician. Beta blockers, including Metoprolol, are generally well-tolerated, but like any medication, they can have side effects. Common side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, and cold hands or feet. It is important to monitor for any unusual symptoms and report them to the healthcare provider. As for alternatives in Ayurveda, it is always recommended to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized recommendations. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to health and may have alternative treatments or lifestyle recommendations to support heart health. Some Ayurvedic herbs and practices that are commonly used to support heart health include Arjuna, Ashwagandha, and stress-reducing techniques like yoga and meditation. Ultimately, the decision to take Metoprolol or explore Ayurvedic alternatives should be made in consultation with healthcare providers who are familiar with the individual's medical history and current health status.
