I've been experiencing heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and feeling lightheaded since Sunday. I've also gained a bit of weight and recently had an argument with my husband. I have PCOS and I'm currently taking metformin. Could these symptoms be related to my condition or medication? Should I be concerned?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or a possible cardiac issue. Given your history of PCOS and current medication, metformin, it is important to consider any potential interactions. I recommend you to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, to help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial. Remember to prioritize self-care and seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen or persist.

I'm just wondering, after having an angiogram and getting a 3.2 stent placed, how long will I need to be on all these meds? I'm currently taking BRILINTA 90mg, ECOSPRIN 75mg, ALDACTONE 25mg, CARDACE 2.5mg, LASIX 40mg, IVABRAD 5mg, and ATOPLIP 80mg. It's a bit overwhelming and I'd like to know more about the typical duration for taking them.

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've been having some mild chest pain for about six months now. I exercise daily, eat healthy, and I don't smoke. Could this be something serious or is it just anxiety or something else? Should I be concerned?

It's generally safe to use Moxikind (moxifloxacin) for cold and Monocef (cefixime) for cough together. However, consider the following: _Phensedyl (cough syrup)_: Avoid using Phensedyl with Moxikind and Monocef without consulting your doctor, as it may interact with antibiotics. _Consult your pediatrician_ before administering these medications together, especially if your child has any underlying medical conditions or is taking other medications. Also, ensure you: 1. Complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed. 2. Follow the recommended dosage and administration instructions. 3. Monitor your child's condition and report any adverse reactions or concerns to your pediatrician.
