With time, raised blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and nerves that control the heart. Additionally, people with diabetes are also more likely to have other conditions that raise the risk for heart disease such as high blood pressure and deranged cholesterol or triglyceride levels.

I've been diagnosed with MVP with mild MR and was really anxious during the echocardiogram. My doctor prescribed Concor 2.5, but since I started taking it, I've been experiencing palpitations all over my body. Could this mean I've developed irregular rhythms? I'm really worried, and my neck is tingling often. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you may be experiencing side effects from Concor (Bisoprolol) 2.5. The palpitations and irregular rhythms you are feeling could be due to the medication. I recommend contacting your doctor to discuss these symptoms. In the meantime, you can consider switching to a different beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (Lopressor) at a lower dose. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking Telvas H and Nebicard 2.5 along with Amaryl M1, but recently she's been having these heart palpitations and feeling super uneasy after taking the Amaryl. It's kind of freaking us out because it's only started in the last few days. Do you think this could be a side effect or something we should be concerned about? What should we do to help her feel better?

I've been noticing that my heart often beats really strongly, and this has been going on for several years now. Last year, I got an ECG and the doctor said I have high blood pressure and some other issues, recommending that I see a cardiologist. What could be causing these strong heartbeats, and should I be concerned about the high blood pressure?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations due to your high blood pressure. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-100mg once daily. However, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your heart condition.
