View allI'm dealing with Rheumatoid Arthritis and I'm on methotrexate. Recently, I've been experiencing heart palpitations, like up to 12 times a minute, mostly in the evening, but now it's happening more often. My heart rate's been an average of 107, but right now it's at 91 bpm. I've got an appointment on Wednesday at the heart hospital to get things checked out. But I'm really curious about when this stuff would be considered an emergency. It's making me feel pretty uncomfortable. Any advice?
It is important to monitor your symptoms closely. If you experience severe chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, or dizziness along with the heart palpitations, it could be a sign of a more serious issue and would be considered an emergency. Since you are already scheduled for an appointment at the heart hospital on Wednesday, it is best to discuss your symptoms with the healthcare provider there. They will be able to evaluate your condition and provide appropriate guidance.

I'm a bit worried after my recent check-up. A few months back, my doctor noticed an LBBB on my ECG and recommended a 2D echo, which thankfully came back normal. I wasn't feeling any symptoms then, but now, two months later, I've started experiencing light pains that move from the left to the right side of my chest. It's not constant, but should I be concerned about these pains? Any advice would be really helpful.
"Based on your description of having occasional light pain in the left and right side of your chest, it is important to consider your history of LBBB (Left Bundle Branch Block) and the normal 2D echo test results. Since you are experiencing chest pain, even though it is intermittent, it is essential to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend taking Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief as needed. However, it is crucial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring, especially considering your history of LBBB. If the pain persists or worsens, do not hesitate to seek medical attention for a thorough assessment."

I'm really worried because I've been on amlogard 5 mg and olmesar 10mg for my blood pressure for the past five months. Now, my gastroenterologist has told me I have an intestine infection and said I should stop the olmesar. They suggested I take a different medication instead, but I'm not sure what I should switch to. Do you have any advice on what could work with the amlogard?
Ramipril 5 mg is the substitute for the medication and be taken,, salt restricted diet and dash diet also advised to the patient..
