I'm feeling a pulse in the right side of my neck, especially noticeable when I'm lying down. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a sign of something serious? Just want to know if there's anything suspicious going on.

I'm a bit worried about changing my medication. I used to take Prolomet, and my doctor just switched me to Telma 40 in the morning and Prolomet 25 at night. I'm supposed to stop Prolomet completely after a week and just keep taking Telma. Could this sudden change or stopping Prolomet in the morning cause any issues or symptoms?
Changing from Prolomet to Telma 40 in the morning and Prolomet 25 at night, followed by stopping Prolomet and continuing with Telma alone, should not cause any issues if done under the supervision of a doctor. Telma (Telmisartan) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps in lowering blood pressure. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and timing. The transition from one medication to another is commonly done to optimize treatment and minimize side effects. If you experience any unusual symptoms during this transition, such as dizziness, weakness, or changes in heart rate, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.

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.
