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'm curious if it's normal for someone who's had a COVID infection before to experience a high heart rate, like around 130-140, for a while. Especially if their SPO2 levels are at 95-96. Should I be worried about this?

yes

I'm having these heart palpitations in my chest, left arm, and left leg for months now. They get worse at night and right after I wake up. Plus, I often feel really tired and out of breath. It's so frustrating and starting to affect my mood. Do you think this is something to do with my heart, or could it be linked to anxiety and depression?

It is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. However, based on your symptoms of heart palpitations, tiredness, breathlessness, and irritability, it is possible that you may be experiencing a cardiac issue. It is recommended to get an ECG (Electrocardiogram) done to evaluate your heart's electrical activity. In the meantime, you can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help with the heart palpitations. Additionally, if anxiety and depression are contributing to your symptoms, you can consider taking Sertraline (brand name: Zoloft) 50mg once daily to help manage these conditions.
