I'm on some medications right nowConcor 2.5, Paxidep CR 25, and Nexpro RD 40for panic disorder and concentric LVH. I've been thinking about doing some cardio exercises like running, jogging, push-ups, sit-ups, and maybe some light weight lifting with a dumbbell. I'm planning to do this for about 30 to 40 minutes, five days a week, because I've noticed I'm gaining some weight. I weigh 70 kg at a height of 5'3". Is it okay to keep up with these exercises while on these meds, or should I be cautious?

View allI'm feeling a bit worried because I've been having a lot of symptoms since I recovered from COVID back in July. I still don't feel completely better. Lately, I've been having chest pain on the left side and near my shoulder blade, and my left hand feels heavy, with some pain in my armpit. There's this weird pressure in the center of my upper chest, but it doesn't hurt. Bending or moving around makes my chest hurt too, but it's sort of bearable. Plus, I often get this numb feeling in my head, like pins and needles, though it doesn't really hurt. Sometimes I get headaches as well. I did an ECG and a 2D echo three months ago and everything was normal, but I'm attaching the latest ECG I just had done today. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Based on your symptoms and history of Covid-19, it is important to consider the possibility of post-Covid complications such as myocarditis or pericarditis. The chest pain, left shoulder blade pain, heaviness in the left hand, and pressure in the upper chest could be indicative of cardiac issues. Since your recent ECG is available, it would be important to review it for any acute changes. I recommend starting a course of aspirin to help with any potential inflammation and to prevent blood clots. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole to protect your stomach while on aspirin. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and possible additional tests such as a cardiac MRI. Medication: - Aspirin 75mg once daily - Omeprazole 20mg once daily

I'm experiencing these palpitations alongside some gas. Could this be related to my heart or are the palpitations just caused by the gas? I was wondering if it's necessary to get an ECG. Could you give me some guidance on this?
Palpitations and gas can be caused by various factors, including heart issues and gastrointestinal problems. To address palpitations, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to consider an ECG to assess your heart's electrical activity. For gas relief, you can try over-the-counter medications like Simethicone (Gas-X) to help alleviate symptoms.

I've noticed my heart rate drops to around 41-45 when I'm sleeping, and I'm a bit worried about it. I'm currently taking Ivabradine, 5mg twice a day. During the day, my heart rate is generally between 85-90, and it goes up to 105-110 while I'm walking. I started on Ivabradine because my heart rate would hit 150 with just minimal exertion. Is it normal for my heart rate to drop like that while I'm asleep, or should I be concerned?
A heart rate dropping to 41-45 while sleeping can be concerning, especially if you are already on Ivabradine for high heart rate during the day. Since Ivabradine is a medication that helps lower heart rate, it is important to monitor your heart rate closely. In your case, since your heart rate during the day is around 85-90 and 105-110 while walking after taking Ivabradine, it seems like the medication is working to lower your heart rate effectively. However, a heart rate dropping significantly during sleep may warrant further evaluation. I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to determine if any adjustments to your medication dosage or timing are needed. It's important to ensure that your heart rate remains within a safe range even during sleep.
