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.

I'm concerned about my blood pressure, which is reading quite high at 150100. The thing is, I don't really feel stressed or have any other symptoms like dizziness or weakness. I've always had a pretty sedentary lifestyle, but I've started going for morning walks. Do you think that could help bring my BP down to a normal level?
It's good that you have started morning walks to improve your lifestyle. Along with regular exercise, it's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly. In addition to physical activity, you can also consider incorporating a low-sodium diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If your blood pressure remains high, your doctor may recommend medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower it. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are essential to manage your blood pressure effectively.

I'm really worried about my heart. I've been having heart palpitations for the past six months, and it's happened six times already. Just a few days ago, I woke up with my heart racing at 159 BPM. I went for an ECG, and the report said Sinus tachycardia with a heart rate of 139. My cardiologist said my ECHO 2d test was normal and prescribed me Cardarone 100mg and Petril Beta 10 for a month. But just two days ago, it happened again - I woke up with a rapid heartbeat of 125 BPM. I went for another ECG, and that one was normal, too. I even did a thyroid profile test, and it came back normal. When I'm trying to sleep, I can hear my heart pounding so loudly, and if I lie on my chest, it feels even worse. It's really uncomfortable. What should I do now? Should I stay on the medicine, or should I go in for more tests?
In your case, since you have already consulted a cardiologist and undergone tests like ECG and 2D ECHO which came out normal, the medications prescribed to you are appropriate for managing your symptoms. You should continue taking TAB Cardarone 100mg and Petril Bata 10 as prescribed by your doctor. TAB Cardarone helps in controlling irregular heartbeats, while Petril Bata helps in reducing anxiety which can sometimes exacerbate palpitations. If you are still experiencing discomfort and palpitations, you may consider discussing with your cardiologist about adjusting the dosage of the medications or exploring other treatment options. Additionally, you may benefit from lifestyle modifications such as reducing stress, avoiding stimulants like caffeine, and maintaining a healthy sleep routine to help manage your symptoms. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist regularly to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
