My mother-in-law had a stent procedure about 10 days ago, and she's been experiencing fever and chills on and off. Is this something to be concerned about?
Fever and chills after a stent procedure could be a sign of infection. It is important to monitor her closely and contact her healthcare provider immediately. She may need antibiotics such as Amoxicillin 500mg to treat the infection. The dosage would typically be 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days.

I've been dealing with these ectopic palpitations for the last 8 months and it's really stressing me out. I went to a general physician who said it's nothing to worry about and it's just anxiety related. I have really bad cardiophobia anxiety. He put me on ciplar la 20, which helped a bit with the palpitations but they haven't completely gone away. I did a holter and an echo screening and showed them to a cardiologist. He said it's just anxiety too, but mentioned there was concentric LVH on the echo and a single ectopic on the holter. Should I be concerned about the concentric LVH and the single ectopic beat, or is it really just anxiety like everyone's saying?
Based on your symptoms and reports, I recommend continuing with Ciplar LA 20 for the ectopic palpitations. In addition, you may benefit from an anti-anxiety medication such as Escitalopram 10mg once daily to help manage your cardiophobia anxiety. It is also important to address the concentric LVH detected in the echo report. You can start taking Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage the LVH. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is essential to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
