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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm having some trouble with mild heart palpitations and anxiety, so my cardiologist put me on Telma 40 and propranolol 40 mg. The good news is my palpitations and angina are gone since starting propranolol, but now I'm experiencing some erection issues. I'm wondering, could I switch from propranolol to Nevivolol? Or would it be okay to take tadalafil along with the propranolol? Could you give me some advice on these two options?
1. Instead of Propranolol 40 mg, you can use Nebivolol. The recommended dosage for Nebivolol is 5 mg to 10 mg once daily. It is also effective in managing heart palpitations and anxiety, with a lower risk of causing erectile dysfunction compared to Propranolol. 2. You can take Tadalafil with Propranolol, but it is important to consult with your cardiologist or healthcare provider before combining these medications. Tadalafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction, and the combination with Propranolol may help alleviate the erection problem you are experiencing. The usual starting dose of Tadalafil is 10 mg taken prior to anticipated sexual activity, with a maximum frequency of once per day.

I'm really worried because for the past week I've been experiencing heaviness in my chest, my left arm feels strange, and I've even had some episodes where I've felt unconscious and really anxious. It's getting to the point where I can't sleep at night. Do you think there's something serious going on, and what should I do about it?

I'm a bit worried because I woke up this morning with my heart racing and ended up going to the ER. They told me I have PSVT and PVC. It felt like my heart stopped and then started again, but they said my echo was normal. Are these arrhythmias something I should be concerned about?
PSVT and PVC can be concerning but are usually not life-threatening. However, it is important to manage them to prevent complications. For PSVT, medications like Verapamil or Metoprolol can be prescribed to control heart rate during episodes. For PVC, if symptoms are bothersome, medications like Propranolol can be used to reduce their frequency. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.
