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 allIm curious about something strange I've been experiencing. Whenever I lie down and try to relax, it feels like my body shakes with what seems like a pulse or heartbeat. Its weird because both my blood pressure and heartbeat are normal, and Ive had an echo and an ECG done, and those were fine too. Is it usual to feel this sort of pulsing or shaking in the body while resting?

I recently recovered from COVID and it's been about 20 days since my first symptoms with all my reports coming back negative. I'm only dealing with some post-COVID weakness now. I've noticed that when I'm resting, my heartbeat is typically between 60 and 80 bpm, and sitting it's around 75 to 90 bpm. But when I climb stairs, it jumps to about 145 to 150, and while walking, it's around 125 to 130. Is this normal after recovering from COVID because of the weakness I have? I had an ECG and a TMT last month as part of a regular check-up before COVID, and the TMT was normal even when my heartbeat reached 196. Everything was fine back then. Should I be concerned now?
Your increased heart rate while climbing stairs (145-150) and walking (125-130) after recovering from COVID-19 can be attributed to post-COVID-19 fatigue, dehydration, and reduced cardiovascular endurance, but given your recent normal ECG and TMT results, it's likely a temporary condition; however, to alleviate concerns, consider consulting your doctor or a cardiologist for a follow-up evaluation, and in the meantime, stay hydrated, gradually increase physical activity, and monitor your heart rate and overall health.

I'm a 25-year-old female, and I'm pretty worried about my health right now. My weight is 73 kg, and my blood pressure reads 135 over 85. I've been feeling this shortness of breath, which got me to check things out with an ECG. The report mentioned I've got sinus tachycardia and an atrioventricular conduction block. I honestly don't know what all this means, and it's kind of freaking me out. How serious is this situation?
Sinus tachycardia and atrioventricular conduction block can be concerning, especially if you are experiencing symptoms like shortness of breath. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) to help control your heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, you may need a temporary pacemaker to manage the conduction block. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for a comprehensive treatment plan.
