View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's been having heart palpitations and his creatinine level is at 2.4. Do you have any advice or suggestions on how we can help him get better?
Heart palpitations can be concerning, especially with a high creatinine level. To help manage heart palpitations, your father can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-50mg twice a day. It is important to also address the underlying cause of the high creatinine level, which may involve medications like Lisinopril (brand name: Prinivil) at a dosage of 10-20mg once a day to protect the kidneys. Additionally, it is crucial to follow a low-sodium diet and stay hydrated. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are essential to monitor his condition.

I can feel my heartbeat when I'm lying down, even though my ECG came back normal. The doctor said it's anxiety, and I've been on Ciplar LA 20 for 45 days now. How long does it usually take for this medication to help with the problem? My heart rate is around 70 now.
Feeling your own heartbeat when lying down can be a common symptom of anxiety. Ciplar LA 20 is a brand name for propranolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat anxiety and heart conditions. It is important to continue taking your medication as prescribed by your doctor. In some cases, it may take a few weeks to a few months to see the full effects of the medication. Since you have been taking Ciplar LA 20 for 45 days and your heart rate is now 70 beats per minute, it seems like the medication is helping to control your symptoms. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
