I've had some tests done like ECG, 2D Echo, and a thyroid test, and they all came back normal. But still, my pulse rate sometimes jumps to like 120 or 140 and then goes back to normal after a bit. I tried beta blockers for about 4 months, but it didnt really help, so my doctor told me not to worry and said it's normal for me. I've stopped taking the meds now. Should I really not be concerned about these spikes in my pulse rate?

It sounds like you have been experiencing episodes of high pulse rate despite normal results on your ECG, 2D echo, and thyroid tests. Since beta blockers did not effectively control your pulse rate, you may benefit from a calcium channel blocker such as Amlodipine. The usual starting dose for Amlodipine is 5 mg once daily, which can be adjusted based on your response. It is important to monitor your pulse rate regularly and report any persistent high readings to your doctor.

View allI've been dealing with some issues since recovering from COVID back in April 2021. It's been a while, but about ten days after testing positive, I started feeling fine. However, from May 10th, I've had this chest painit happens especially when I move my upper body or when I'm lying down. There's this tenderness feeling right in the center and around my chest. I've been taking CCM tablets twice a day for a month now. I've done all sorts of tests like chest X-ray, ECG, chest CT scan, CBC, CRP, and D-dimer, and everything's come back normal. But despite all that, I'm still not getting good, deep sleep. Could you please offer some advice on what might be going on? I'm really looking for some guidance.

My mom had an angioplasty about a month and a half ago and shes got a stent now. Just wondering, she started having this itchiness and rash on her calves last week which is a bit better now. Could this be some sort of reaction to the stent or maybe the meds? And if it is, is there anything we can do to help ease it?

I'm really concerned about this left chest pain I've been experiencing for the past 10 days. It's mostly just a feeling of heaviness in my chest, and I'm finding it really difficult to breathe properly. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
Hi. It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with any potential heart-related pain. Please take one tablet with a glass of water.
