I had MVR surgery back in 2019 and my doctor prescribed warfarin Acitrom to maintain my PTINR around 2.5-3. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to get the covid vaccine now or if I should wait for more research to come out. If I do go ahead with it, what kind of precautions should I keep in mind?

I've noticed that my heart rate has been fluctuating between 92 and 104 over the past couple of days, and I'm starting to get worried. I haven't been sleeping well and have been feeling really bloated too. Should I be concerned and see a doctor?

Not sleeping well and feeling bloated since 2 days. It is important to monitor your heart rate and symptoms closely. For elevated heart rate and trouble sleeping, you can try taking **Metoprolol** 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate and improve sleep quality. Additionally, for bloating, you can try **Simethicone** 125mg after meals to help relieve bloating symptoms. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid foods that may exacerbate bloating.
