I've been experiencing a lot of stiffness in my chest lately, and sometimes there's this pain that pops up on the left side, right side, or even in the center of my chest. I've had a chest CT, blood tests, and even an abdominal CT and ultrasound, and everything seems to come back normal. It's just really confusing and a bit worrying. What could be causing this if all the tests are normal?

View allI'm starting to get really worried because my heart's been racing for the last day and a half. It's super uncomfortable and happens whether I'm sitting or standing. I'm not even exercising or anything, so I can't figure out what's causing it. What should I do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of tachycardia. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help slow down your heart rate and reduce the discomfort. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and avoid caffeine and stimulants which can exacerbate the symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.

I'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?

Can I take Dilzem CD 120 about 40 minutes after Rabsec PPI? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?
It is generally safe to take Dilzem CD 120 after 40 minutes of Rabsec (PPI). However, it is important to note that there may be a potential interaction between these two medications. Dilzem CD 120 is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain, while Rabsec (PPI) is a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce stomach acid. Some potential side effects of taking these medications together may include an increased risk of low blood pressure, slow heart rate, and potential drug interactions. It is always best to consult with your healthcare provider before taking these medications together to ensure safety and effectiveness.
