I've noticed that my heart rate is always above 90, and I also deal with anxiety. When I start overthinking, my heart rate shoots up to 105. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned and seek treatment?

A heart rate above 90 at rest and reaching 105 with anxiety and overthinking may indicate that your heart rate is elevated. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg to 40mg as needed to help lower your heart rate and reduce anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

View allI'm being treated for bacterial overgrowth in my intestine, and so far, it's going well. But I'm a bit worried because sometimes I get this dull ache in my upper back, shoulder, and left arm. It's mostly on the left side, though it rarely happens on the right. I also feel pretty gassy. Could this discomfort be because of gas, or do you think I should be more concerned and maybe get an ECG done? I'm 37 and female, if that helps. What do you think?
It is possible that your upper back pain, shoulder pain, and arm pain on the left side could be related to gas or bloating from the bacterial overgrowth in your intestine. Gas can sometimes cause referred pain to other areas of the body, including the back and shoulders. However, given that you are also experiencing arm pain, it is important to consider other possible causes such as musculoskeletal issues or even cardiac concerns. Since you are also feeling gassy, it is reasonable to try over-the-counter gas relief medications such as Simethicone to see if it helps alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can consider taking a pain reliever like Acetaminophen for the discomfort. If your symptoms persist or worsen, especially if you experience any chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it would be prudent to seek medical attention. A doctor can evaluate your symptoms, perform a physical examination, and determine if further investigations such as an ECG are necessary to rule out any cardiac issues.

I'm feeling a bit anxious because my heart rate has increased after I took pregabalin. Do you know how long this might last or what I should do next?
After taking pregabalin and experiencing an increased heart rate, it is important to monitor your symptoms closely. The increased heart rate can be a side effect of pregabalin. It is advisable to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. To address the increased heart rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The recommended dosage for Metoprolol in this case would be 25-50mg orally once daily. This medication can help lower your heart rate and alleviate the symptoms you are experiencing. The duration of the increased heart rate effect can vary from person to person. It is recommended to continue monitoring your symptoms and consult your healthcare provider if the symptoms persist or worsen.
