I'm dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety, and my pulse rate is pretty much always over 90. My doctor has me on Ciplar LA 40 once a day for a few months. I've read that stopping this medication can cause heart attacks and other scary stuff. Is it really safe for me to be on this? I'm also taking Ecospirin 75 at night to help with blood flow. What should I do?

While Propranolol (Ciplar LA) and Aspirin are generally safe when prescribed together, it's crucial to follow your doctors recommendations for proper management. If you're ever in doubt or feel uncomfortable about the medication, dont hesitate to have a thorough discussion with your healthcare provider to address your concerns and explore options.

I've been noticing this pain on the right side of my chest that comes and goes really quickly, lasting just about 2 seconds each time. It's got me wondering if it's something serious or just a random pain. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

That could be gastritis,take antacids and consume bland diet and more water to ease your stomach and take adequate rest

I'm 22 and I've been experiencing chest pain for a few months now. My X-ray and ECG both came back normal, but the pain keeps coming and going within about 30 seconds. It switches locations, sometimes on the left side, other times on the right, and occasionally its in the upper or lower chest. I'm really worried about my heart. Could this actually be related to gas like the doctor suggested?

As you had done investigation like ecg so chest pain is not due to cardiac issue .Yes it can be because of acid reflus .Ans xray is also normal and you dont have any cough sneezing breathlessness and your age is so young so it could because of gas
