Question 1

I've been feeling a bit off with some discomfort and pressure in the middle of my chest for the past four days. It kind of comes and goes, and sometimes it suddenly gets really painful.

Having a strong pulse that can be felt in various parts of the body can indeed be related to stress. To help reverse this, you can try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, yoga, or meditation to help reduce stress levels. Additionally, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg once daily) to help lower your heart rate and reduce the sensation of a strong pulse. It's important to continue following up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

Chest pain in children can have various causes, including respiratory infections, muscle strain, or even anxiety. However, given your daughter's history of a brain hemorrhage, it is important to rule out any serious underlying conditions. I recommend you take her to a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can give her Children's Tylenol (acetaminophen) at a dose appropriate for her age and weight to help with any discomfort.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing persistent tachycardia. One common medication used to help lower heart rate is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting Metoprolol at a low dose, such as 25mg once daily, and then adjusting the dose as needed to help control your heart rate. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly while on this medication.
