I'm feeling some itching on the inside of my left chest area for the last three days, and I'm worried if it might be something related to my heart. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I'm really concerned because I recently did a 24-hour Holter monitor test, and I was told I have tachycardia. All my other tests like the ECG, echo, and X-ray came back normal, which is a bit confusing. The doctor mentioned that my tachycardia might be due to anxiety since sometimes I experience palpitations and have trouble breathing. I'm wondering if it's okay to take Zapiz 0.25mg for my anxiety every other day or if there might be any side effects I should worry about. Any advice would be appreciated.

Zapiz 0.25mg is a brand name for Clonazepam, which is commonly used to treat anxiety disorders. However, it is important to note that Clonazepam is typically not recommended for daily, long-term use due to the risk of tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms. It is best to use it on an "as-needed" basis for anxiety symptoms. For your palpitations and difficulty breathing related to anxiety, your doctor may consider prescribing a different type of medication such as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) for long-term management of anxiety. These medications are less likely to cause dependence compared to Clonazepam. I recommend discussing with your doctor about alternative medications for managing your anxiety symptoms and to address any concerns about potential side effects of Zapiz 0.25mg.

I've been feeling a bit off with some discomfort and pressure in the middle of my chest for the past four days. It kind of comes and goes, and sometimes it suddenly gets really painful.

-Chest discomfort can sometimes be linked to things like indigestion or stress, but if it's been ongoing and sudden, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out anything serious, especially with your fear of vomiting. Your health and peace of

I'm really concerned about my recent hscrp test results, which came back at 45. Alongside that, my total cholesterol is 235. What should I be doing about this?

I recommend you start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider taking Aspirin 81mg daily to reduce inflammation. It's also important to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, and engage in regular exercise to improve your overall cardiovascular health."
