View allI'm a 23-year-old female, around 130 lbs, and I'm really anxious about health stuff recently, especially after reading about various symptoms. A while back, I had the flu with fever, diarrhea, and a low appetite, and though those symptoms are gone, I still feel weak and lightheaded. It got me worried about an electrolyte imbalance. I took two 150 mg doses of fluconazole for a candida infection right after my flu, and I read that's something that could affect potassium levels. Sometimes, I think I'm having heart palpitations, with my resting pulse varying from 59 to 75. It feels like my heart is either pounding or too weak at times. The lightheadedness often kicks in after I walk a lot or panic. I've been trying to up my potassium intake but can't seem to reach the 4700mg target. Do you think this could lead to a significant imbalance or even a cardiac issue?

I'm really worried about my dad. We live in Hyderabad, and he said he had a mild heart attack last night. He felt numbness on the left side of his body, chest pain, and had a tough time breathing until he took a pill, all of which lasted for about 30 seconds. He's diabetic, and just yesterday, his blood sugar was 160 before lunch and 255 after. Plus, he recently had gangrene, which led to his left leg's middle finger being amputated. Now, he's got a throat infection, and he's finding it hard to speak clearly. With all this going on, should we see a cardiologist and possibly get him admitted to the hospital, or is it okay to stick with the meds his previous cardiologist gave him?
It sounds like your father may have experienced a mild heart attack based on the symptoms you described. Given his medical history of diabetes, recent amputation due to gangrene, and current throat infection, it is important to seek immediate medical attention. I recommend consulting a cardiologist and getting him admitted to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, continue the medications prescribed by his previous cardiologist. It is crucial to address his heart health in light of these recent symptoms and medical conditions.

I'm a bit worried because my triglycerides level is 868. Does this mean there's a risk of heart disease for me or should I be concerned about other health issues?
