Question 1

I'm curious about when to take Ecosprin AV75. I've heard it might be better to take it at night before bed, but can it be taken in the morning as well? Is there a significant difference, or does one time work better than the other? I'd love some guidance on this.

Accepted Answer

it is necessary to take the tablet at bedtime only.

Question 2

Is it normal to feel like my heart is pounding really hard when I'm exercising? It feels like my heart's just doing a crazy workout on its own, almost like I can hold it in my hand. When I checked, my heart rate was between 130-140 during a heavy workout. I'm 20 and I do have high cholesterol. I had an ECG and echo done back in May, and everything seemed okay. But when I'm resting, my heart rate drops to about 50 bpm and it doesn't feel heavy at all. It's only happening when I'm working out. Should I be worried and stop doing these intense exercises?

Accepted Answer

It is not uncommon to feel a heavy heartbeat during intense exercise, especially when your heart rate is elevated. Given your age and previous normal cardiac evaluations, it is less likely to be concerning. However, if you continue to experience discomfort or if the symptoms worsen, it may be advisable to modify your exercise routine. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose before exercise to help control your heart rate and reduce the sensation of a heavy heartbeat. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Additionally, focusing on aerobic exercises within your target heart rate zone and gradually increasing intensity may also help in reducing the sensation of a heavy heartbeat during exercise.

Question 3

So I had this chest pain about 2 months ago, and it wasn't related to the heart. I got my ECG and 2D echo done, and they both were normal. I also got a chest X-ray, and some other blood tests like cholesterol and thyroid, and everything was normal except for high cholesterol. The pain went away after I took some medication. But now, after 2 months, I'm experiencing the same kind of chest pain. It's more moderate to mild this time, but last time it was really severe. I couldn't even lay on the bed then. This time too, my ECG checked out normal. Should I be doing more tests to make absolutely sure it's not something heart-related, or do you think it's enough for now?

Accepted Answer

Since your ECG results came back normal and you have already undergone tests like 2D echo, chest x-ray, FBS, HbA1c, and thyroid tests which were all normal except for high cholesterol levels, it is less likely that your chest pain is cardiac-related. However, if you are still experiencing chest pain, it may be beneficial to consult with your doctor to consider other possible causes such as musculoskeletal issues or gastrointestinal problems. In the meantime, you can continue taking Pantoprazole for acid reflux and Ulgel syrup for gastritis symptoms.
