I'm always having chest pain, and it's weird because it gets worse when I'm sitting but seems to get better with walking, exercising, or lying down. This usually kicks in after sitting for over 2 hours at my office. It's been going on for a while now. Can anyone help figure out what might be going on?

View allI've been getting these sudden chest pains, and they sorta feel like they're in my heart. It happens randomly, not every day, and only lasts a few minutes before it goes away. It's been going on for a couple of years now, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. Could this be something serious?
This type of chest pain could be related to a condition called angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. I recommend you to take Aspirin 81mg during the chest pain episode. Also, you should consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling a bit anxious because my heart rate has increased after I took pregabalin. Do you know how long this might last or what I should do next?
After taking pregabalin and experiencing an increased heart rate, it is important to monitor your symptoms closely. The increased heart rate can be a side effect of pregabalin. It is advisable to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. To address the increased heart rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The recommended dosage for Metoprolol in this case would be 25-50mg orally once daily. This medication can help lower your heart rate and alleviate the symptoms you are experiencing. The duration of the increased heart rate effect can vary from person to person. It is recommended to continue monitoring your symptoms and consult your healthcare provider if the symptoms persist or worsen.
