I'm really concerned about some symptoms I've been experiencing. I started taking Eliwel 10mg for nerve pain about 20 days ago, but suddenly I got rapid heartbeats and chest pain on October 1st with pain intensity around 710. When I went to the doctor, my heartbeat was going from 60s to 110. The doctor gave me Nebicard 5mg and suggested getting an ECG and echo. The ECG was abnormal but the echo was normal, and the doc said not to worry. But the chest pain lingered for 34 days, and I also had some shortness of breath. I've stopped taking Eliwel on my own, which helped a bit, but I still have some chest pain, maybe around a 410. Yesterday I saw a cardiologist who did a TMT test; that was normal too, but the ECG was still abnormal. I've attached my reports. Is there anything here I should be worried about?

Based on your symptoms and the abnormal ECG findings, it seems like you may have experienced some adverse effects from the Eliwel (Amitriptyline) medication. The rapid heart beat and chest pain could be related to this. Nebicard (Nebivolol) 5mg was prescribed to help with the rapid heart beat. Since you have already discontinued Eliwel and your symptoms have improved but not completely resolved, I would recommend discussing with your doctor about alternative medications for nerve pain. For your ongoing chest pain, you can consider taking a pain reliever like Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. It is important to follow up with your Cardiologist for further evaluation and management of the abnormal ECG findings. If the chest pain persists or worsens, do not hesitate to seek medical attention promptly.

View allI experienced a sudden jerk in the left side of my chest while I was sleeping at night. My ECG came back normal. What should I do next?
It is possible that the sudden jerk in your left side chest could be due to muscle spasm or a benign condition. However, if you continue to experience this sensation or if it is associated with other symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5-10mg as needed for muscle spasm.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 63 and has been dealing with high blood pressure for a while now, but today his blood pressure reading was something like 12255. Do you think that's unusual or something to worry about? Hes also been passing urine more often than usual, like 8 to 10 times in just 3 hours. Plus, he has high blood sugar and manages it with ayurvedic medicine. Could this all be connected somehow? Just trying to figure out if there's anything serious going on or if it's okay. Any advice would be really helpful.
Considering his symptoms and blood pressure reading, it is important to monitor his condition closely. The low diastolic blood pressure (55) may indicate inadequate blood flow to his organs. I recommend consulting his doctor to adjust his high blood pressure medication. Additionally, the frequent urination could be a sign of uncontrolled blood sugar levels. He may need a review of his ayurvedic medication or additional treatment. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential in this situation.

I'm a bit worried about my father's health. His INR is 1.90, and I'm wondering how much warfarin he should be taking. Also, after his ECG, when should we schedule an ECG or ECO test? I'd really appreciate your guidance.
Typically, the initial dose of Warfarin is usually 2 to 5 mg per day. However, the dosage may need to be adjusted based on regular INR monitoring. As for when he should do his ECG and ECO after starting Warfarin, it is generally recommended to have these tests done regularly to monitor his heart health and the effects of the medication. It is best to consult his healthcare provider for specific guidance on the timing of these tests based on his individual health needs.
