I'm experiencing these palpitations alongside some gas. Could this be related to my heart or are the palpitations just caused by the gas? I was wondering if it's necessary to get an ECG. Could you give me some guidance on this?

Palpitations and gas can be caused by various factors, including heart issues and gastrointestinal problems. To address palpitations, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to consider an ECG to assess your heart's electrical activity. For gas relief, you can try over-the-counter medications like Simethicone (Gas-X) to help alleviate symptoms.

Ive been having trouble with my breathing, and my pulse rate is pretty high. My doctor mentioned something about sinus tachycardia and gave me propranolol to take. After using it for a couple of days, I've started to notice swelling in my fingers. What kind of tests or investigations do you think I should consider? And should I be worried about this swelling? Any advice would be really helpful.

Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats faster than normal. Since you are experiencing swelling on your fingers after taking propranolol, it is important to consult your doctor for a possible alternative medication. In terms of investigations, you may consider getting an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to monitor your heart's electrical activity and rule out any other underlying heart conditions. Additionally, a blood test to check electrolyte levels and thyroid function may be recommended. It is important to discuss these options with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

I've been taking Telista H 40 for my BP for about a year but sometimes it's not available in my village. My BP has been normal around 120/80 and I recently had EVLT surgery on both legs. The nurses checked my BP post-surgery - first day it was 120/70 and second day 120/80. Can you suggest a low-cost alternative to Telista H 40 that would work for me?

You can try Telma-H instead
