I'm having trouble sleeping for the past few days. I keep waking up in the middle of the night because I can feel my abdomen pulsating and my heart racing. It's making me really anxious. Could this be happening because of how I'm sleeping, or is it something to do with starting the gym a couple of weeks ago? I notice my abdomen pulsating every time I look, but I don't feel any pain in my chest or abdomen. Is this normal?

I'm really worried about what to do if someone suddenly has a heart attack. Could you tell me what essential medicines should be given right away or what things we should always have at home just in case?

In case of a sudden heart attack, it is crucial to act quickly. The most important medication to have on hand is aspirin. It is recommended to chew and swallow one full-strength aspirin (325mg) as soon as a heart attack is suspected, as it can help prevent further blood clotting. Additionally, nitroglycerin can be helpful in relieving chest pain during a heart attack. If the individual experiencing the heart attack has been prescribed nitroglycerin in the past, they can take it as directed by their healthcare provider. It is also important to have emergency contact numbers readily available, such as 911 or local emergency services, in case immediate medical attention is needed. Regularly checking and maintaining an automated external defibrillator (AED) at home can also be life-saving in such emergencies. Remember, quick action is crucial during a heart attack, so it is important to seek medical help immediately.

I've been having chest pain for the past 56 days and it started with my back. I've done an ECG three times and an ECO once. My blood pressure is 14090, and I'm on Hifen Pofloxacin 400, Ecosprin 75, Amlovas 20, and a PPI as prescribed by my physician, but the pain in my chest is still there. Sometimes it even goes to my left hand. What should I do now?

Based on your symptoms and medications, it seems like you may be experiencing chest pain due to cardiac issues. Since the pain is still persistent and sometimes radiates to your left hand, it is important to seek further medical evaluation. I recommend that you consult with your physician to consider adjusting your current medication regimen. In the meantime, you can take a nitroglycerin tablet for immediate relief of chest pain. Additionally, it would be beneficial to undergo further cardiac investigations such as a stress test or coronary angiography to rule out any underlying heart conditions.
