I'm experiencing some heart palpitations and my pulse rate is around 90. I recently did an ECG, 2D ECO, and blood tests including the complete blood count, but everything came back normal. I'm just trying to figure out what could be causing these palpitations. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

The normal test results indicate that there may not be a serious underlying issue causing your heart palpitations. However, there are several potential reasons for experiencing heart palpitations despite normal test results. Some common causes include anxiety, stress, caffeine intake, dehydration, anemia, thyroid disorders, or certain medications. In your case, since the tests have already been done and are normal, I would recommend trying to manage stress levels, reducing caffeine intake, staying hydrated, and ensuring a balanced diet. If palpitations persist or worsen, a medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) can be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.

My mother has congestive heart failure and her doctor recommended she take Azmarda 100mg twice a day. I'm wondering if there's a more affordable alternative to Azmarda 100mg that would still be effective? Were keeping an eye on costs and just trying to find the best option for her treatment.

for your mother's condition of congestive cardiac failure, an alternative to Amzarda 100mg that is more cost-effective is Losartan 50mg. It can be taken once daily and is a good option for managing heart failure while being more affordable."
