No ,sleeping on your left side, specifically, could help the flow of blood to your heart. When your heart pumps blood out to your body, it getsside.culated and then flows back to your heart on the right side

View allI'm worried because my cardiologist told me to take Met XL 25 for my fast heart rate, but I accidentally bought Met XL 50 instead and took it this morning. Will taking the 50 mg dose be harmful to my health? Can you help me understand if I should be concerned?
taking Met XL 50 instead of Met XL 25 once should not cause significant harm to your health. However, it is important to stick to the prescribed dosage for optimal treatment. I recommend informing your cardiologist about the mix-up and following their guidance on whether to continue with Met XL 50 or switch back to Met XL 25 at the correct dosage.

I'm really concerned because I recently did a 24-hour Holter monitor test, and I was told I have tachycardia. All my other tests like the ECG, echo, and X-ray came back normal, which is a bit confusing. The doctor mentioned that my tachycardia might be due to anxiety since sometimes I experience palpitations and have trouble breathing. I'm wondering if it's okay to take Zapiz 0.25mg for my anxiety every other day or if there might be any side effects I should worry about. Any advice would be appreciated.
Zapiz 0.25mg is a brand name for Clonazepam, which is commonly used to treat anxiety disorders. However, it is important to note that Clonazepam is typically not recommended for daily, long-term use due to the risk of tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms. It is best to use it on an "as-needed" basis for anxiety symptoms. For your palpitations and difficulty breathing related to anxiety, your doctor may consider prescribing a different type of medication such as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) for long-term management of anxiety. These medications are less likely to cause dependence compared to Clonazepam. I recommend discussing with your doctor about alternative medications for managing your anxiety symptoms and to address any concerns about potential side effects of Zapiz 0.25mg.

I'm really concerned and a bit confused about something. After having angioplasty, I've noticed I tend to sweat a lot on my head. Im wondering if this is something common for heart patients or if it could be a sign of something else going on. What might be causing this?
