I'm feeling like there's a weight on my chest, and every so often, it really hurts. I've had COVID twice but I'm on the mend now. I was thinking of getting a chest x-ray, but I noticed there are different kinds, like AP view and lateral view. I'm not sure which one I should go for. Can you help?

I'm having these episodes of anxiety throughout the day, and even when I'm calm and just doing my usual stuff, it sometimes feels like my heart skips a beat or beats really hard. It freaks me out. I can't tell if it's just the anxiety acting up or if there's something else going on. Any idea what's causing this? I'm really worried.

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations, which can be a common symptom of anxiety. However, it's important to rule out any other underlying medical conditions that may be causing these symptoms. I recommend you try taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg twice daily to help with both the anxiety and palpitations. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your symptoms.

I've been experiencing some weird sensations when I wake up early in the morning. It feels like something is fluttering in my chest or heart, and I get really uneasy with mild breathlessness and sometimes feel light-headed. My pulse seems to stay between 60 to 80, and my oxygen level is usually at 99, but I find myself swallowing suddenly and taking deep breaths without realizing it. My blood pressure was 9762 the first time I checked and 10869 the second time, with a pulse of 73. I had an ECG, 2D echo, and troponin tests done about a month ago, and they were all normal. I dont have any thyroid issues, and my lipid profile and haemogram were also normal. Even my chest X-ray from a month ago didn't show anything out of the ordinary. Now and then, I have a mild cough, and my lips get really dry when I wake up. I even heard a mild wheezing sound when I laughed. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing these sensations?

since all your tests are normal, kindly don't worry

My dad's been taking Angised tablets, and I'm curious about what they do and any side effects we should look out for. Can you give me a rundown on how safe they are? I'm a bit worried about him taking new medication, and I just want to make sure we're informed.
