I've been experiencing some unusual symptoms and I'm getting a bit worried. A few days ago, I had trouble breathing, and then I started feeling pain in my ribs that moved towards my left chest. It happened again recently, and I'm concerned it might be related to a heart issue. Could you please advise me on what this could be or suggest any treatment?

I've been noticing that when I'm lying down, I can actually feel my heartbeat. Is this what's known as palpitation? It doesn't feel like that scary, pounding sensation, just a slight awareness of my heartbeat. Should I be concerned?

Yes, feeling your heart beat when lying down can be considered palpitations. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking propranolol 10mg once daily to help with palpitations.

I've been experiencing a rapid heartbeat lately, and I'm not sure if it's a side effect of the medication I'm on or if it's a heart issue. Could you give me some advice on this?

Rapid heart beat can be a concerning symptom. It is important to identify if it is a side effect of the tablets you are taking or a cardiac issue. To determine if it is a side effect of your medication, please provide me with the names of the tablets you are currently taking along with their dosages. If it is related to a cardiac problem, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
