My mom recently had an angioplasty and her doctor originally put her on Abiflo, but now they've switched her to Syscan. Since the switch, she's been having some issues like itching on her lips and face, plus there's some swelling on her left foot. Should we be worried about these side effects?

View allI've been having a pounding heart and sometimes feel dizzy for about a week now. It even happens when I'm just sitting around doing nothing. Any idea what's going on? Should I be worried?
These symptoms could be due to a condition called palpitations, which can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or underlying heart conditions. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, it is important to reduce your caffeine intake and practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing or meditation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional.

I'm 16 and recently had an electrocardiograph that showed I have incomplete RBBB. The doctors mentioned it might be related to my tonsils because they get inflamed a few times a year, and they're suggesting I get them removed. I tried finding more info about this link between tonsils and RBBB but didn't come across anything helpful. Could you explain how they're connected or if you've seen anything like this before?

I'm really worried about my mom. She was out walking when she suddenly started choking and then complained about pain in her left arm. Thankfully, it all cleared up after a few minutes, but I'm concerned. Should I be worried about this? Could this be something serious?
These symptoms could be indicative of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or a mini-stroke. It is important to seek medical attention immediately to rule out any serious underlying conditions. Medications such as aspirin or clopidogrel may be prescribed to prevent further episodes. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is recommended to monitor and manage any risk factors for stroke.
