I've been feeling a really strong pulse in my head for the past couple of days, and yesterday I noticed it in my rib area too. It feels like there's an extra heartbeat or something. I've tried to ignore it, but it's so uncomfortable and it's been messing up my sleep. I even woke up with a really fast heart rate today, and it's making me quite anxious. It's like I can't escape this feeling, whether I'm awake or trying to sleep. What should I do to make this go away? Any advice would really help.

Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations can be caused by various factors such as stress, caffeine intake, dehydration, or underlying medical conditions. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a dose of 25-50mg once daily. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and alcohol, and practice relaxation techniques to reduce stress. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional.

View allI'm really worried about my husband who recently had an ECG done. It mentioned something about a 'probably MI Inferior' and 'RS inversion area between V1 and V2.' I'm not sure what this means. Is this something serious that we should be concerned about, and are there any more tests we should consider?
Your husband's ECG results suggesting a possible inferior myocardial infarction (MI) with RS inversion between V1 and V2 require further evaluation. This pattern could be caused by misplacement of leads V1 and V2, which can mimic an MI. To confirm the diagnosis, additional tests such as a stress test, echocardiogram, or cardiac biomarker blood tests may be necessary. Consult a cardiologist to discuss the results and determine the best course of action.

I'm feeling really anxious about taking Lomaira, Losartan, and Amlodipine all at once. Are there any side effects I should be worried about?
Taking Lomaira (phentermine) with Losartan and Amlodipine can increase the risk of side effects such as increased blood pressure, heart rate, and potential for heart problems. It is important to monitor for symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, and swelling. It is recommended to avoid this combination unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider.

I've been having this chest pain on my right side and in my back, and it's pretty constant. I've noticed it eases a bit when I use a hot water bottle, but then it returns after about five minutes. I tried taking Mobizox to help with the pain, but it seems to come back even more after like four hours. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
