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?

Been dealing with heart palpitations for about 3 weeks now and it's starting to worry me a bit. I'm taking hypertension meds and Prozac at 10mg. I've had these palpitations before, around 2 weeks, but they went away and my doctor said everything was fine with my heart then. Any thoughts on what might be going on or if there's something else I should consider? Should I be concerned this time?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
