I've been having this issue since an incident a few months back. I was eating crunchy peanut butter, and it got stuck in my food pipe, which led to some pain on the left side of my chest. It's been three months now, but I still feel pain in my chest sometimes. My heart rate also seems to elevate out of nowhere, even when I'm just lying down. Is there a link between the peanut butter incident and these heart symptoms? I've had an ECG and Echo, and both came back normal. I'm wondering if something could be wrong with my heart or if it's all just in my head. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

It's good that you have already done ECG and Echo tests, and the results were normal. The symptoms you are experiencing may be related to esophageal irritation from the incident with the peanut butter, rather than a heart issue. To help with the chest pain and elevated heart rate, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to reduce acid reflux and irritation in the esophagus. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole to further reduce stomach acid production. If the symptoms persist, you may also consider taking a medication like Propranolol to help with the elevated heart rate. However, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling really worried because my heart pumping seems weak, yet my heart rate is 72 bpm. I also have this severe mitral valve regurgitation. Is something like this normal, or should I be concerned?
A heart rate of 72bpm is within the normal range. However, with severe mitral valve regurgitation and weak heart pumping, it is important to manage your condition. You can take medications like Carvedilol 6.25mg twice daily to help improve heart function and Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to control heart rate. Additionally, you may benefit from medications like Furosemide 40mg once daily to reduce fluid buildup. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is essential for monitoring and adjusting your treatment plan.

I'm kind of confused and worried about a few things related to my health and life after my CABG surgery back on December 30, 2013. I've been on tablets like ROSUFIT 10MG and MetXL 12.5 since then and was wondering if it's alright for me to play shuttle every day? Also, I've noticed my desire for intimacy is increasing, but my partner seems a bit drained with it all, which makes me feel pretty low the next morning. Is it safe to be intimate every day? Do you have any advice on how I could make things better with my partner?
1. Can I play shuttle every day after CABG done in 2013 using ROSUFIT 10MG and met-xl 12.5? Yes, you can play shuttle every day after CABG. Just make sure to follow your doctor's advice and take your medications as prescribed, including ROSUFIT 10MG and met-xl 12.5. 2. Sex feelings are increasing day by day but my partner is fed up with me, leading to depression the next morning. What should I do? It's important to communicate openly with your partner about your feelings and concerns. Consider seeking couples therapy or counseling to address any issues in your relationship. Additionally, managing stress and practicing self-care can help improve your mental well-being. 3. Is it safe to have sex every day after CABG? What can I do to satisfy my partner? It is generally safe to have sex after CABG, but it's important to listen to your body and not exert yourself excessively. To improve intimacy with your partner, focus on communication, emotional connection, and exploring new ways to express affection and love. If you have concerns about your sexual health, consider consulting a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
