View allI'm curious about any long-term effects of taking two Limcee tablets a day. I've been on them for about two months and noticed my immunity has improved a lot, so I'm thinking about continuing with them. Are there any concerns I should be aware of?
Potential Causes* 1. *Anxiety and stress*: As you mentioned, anxiety can contribute to an elevated heart rate and palpitations. Career and family concerns are common stressors. 2. *Caffeine intake*: Consuming 3-4 cups of tea per day may be contributing to your elevated heart rate. Caffeine can increase heart rate and blood pressure. 3. *Dehydration*: Inadequate hydration can cause an increase in heart rate. Ensure you're drinking enough water throughout the day. 4. *Electrolyte imbalance*: An imbalance of essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, or calcium can affect heart rate. 5. *Hypothyroidism*: An underactive thyroid gland can cause an elevated heart rate. However, this is less likely given your normal echo results. 6. *Mitral valve prolapse*: A condition where the mitral valve doesn't close properly, leading to palpitations and an elevated heart rate. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a cardiologist*: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and determine the best course of action. 2. *Reduce caffeine intake*: Try limiting your tea consumption to 1-2 cups per day to see if your heart rate improves. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure proper hydration. 4. *Monitor your heart rate*: Keep track of your heart rate and palpitations to identify any patterns or triggers. 5. *Consider stress management techniques*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to help manage anxiety.

I'm a bit confused about how to take celine 500 mg tablets. Should I be taking them with water or can I chew them? And is it better to take them before or after a meal? Would really appreciate some advice on this!
Celine 500 mg tablet should be taken with a full glass of water, either with or without food. It is not a chewable or dispersible tablet.

I'm really worried about my wife's fever. She initially had a fever, and the doctor suggested some tests. The report came back showing malaria and microfilaria were negative, but the typhoid rapid test was positive. The doctor gave her some medicine, and after 20 days, he prescribed Sepamax 500 Tablet, which she's been taking twice a day. But it's been two months now, and she's still dealing with a fever of around 100 degrees every day. We went back to the doctor and he ordered more tests which again showed negative for IgM and IgG antibodies, but the fever hasn't gone away. I'm really concerned about why the fever persists. Could there be something else going on, and are there any additional tests we should consider? What type of fever could this be?
