I'm really concerned about my mom's health. Her ESR levels are incredibly high, sitting at 155, and she's been struggling with rheumatoid arthritis. Could you help me understand whether this is something we should be worried about and what potential impacts this might have on her condition?

Why does my heart start racing for about an hour after I have lunch or eat a heavy meal? I've been on Concor 1.25 mg for two weeks now. My echocardiogram, ECG, Holter monitor, and cholesterol, including LDL levels, all came back okay. I've been diagnosed with panic disorder, but I'm worried if there's a connection here. Any insights?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of tachycardia after meals. Since your heart tests and cholesterol levels are normal, and you have been diagnosed with panic disorder, the fast heart rate may be related to anxiety or panic attacks. In addition to Concor (Bisoprolol) 1.25mg, you can try taking a medication called Propranolol 10mg as needed to help with the rapid heart rate. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that can help control the physical symptoms of anxiety, including tachycardia. It is important to discuss this with your doctor to see if it is suitable for you and to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific situation.
