Question 1

I'm a 17-year-old guy and for the past three months, I've been having really frequent heart palpitations, like 4 to 5 times a day, sometimes even 6 or 7. It's just that feeling of my heart skipping a beat for a couple of seconds before it goes back to normal. It happens all of a sudden and I'm wondering if this could mean there's some heart disease going on. My resting pulse is 104. Also, I've noticed my hair has started thinning a bit. Could there be some link between the palpitations and things like nutritional deficiencies or low blood count?

Accepted Answer

It is important to investigate the cause of your frequent heart palpitations and elevated resting pulse rate. One possible connection between your symptoms of heart palpitations and hair thinning could be an underlying thyroid issue. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and testing. In the meantime, you can consider taking **Propranolol 10mg** for symptomatic relief of palpitations. However, this is not a definitive treatment and a proper diagnosis is necessary.

Question 2

My mom's blood pressure is reading 10090, and the doctor told her to take Losar 50. Should she take it in the morning or at night? A couple of months ago, she was on Amlodipine 5, but she'd stop when her blood pressure looked normal. Is that okay, or should she stick with the medication even if she feels better?
