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.

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She's 65 and has both blood pressure and sugar issues. She recently had an ECG done, and the report mentions things like Normal sinus rhythm, longitudinal left axis deviation, possible old inferior MI, and some ST depression indicating mild anterolateral and high lateral myocardial ischemia with abnormal T waves. She's currently taking Sartel LN, Revolol XL 50, Plavix 75, Caat 40, Nikoran 5, Diamicron XR 60, and Ziten 20. Can you help me understand what all this means for her and if there's anything specific we should be worried about right now?

I'm really worried because my mom recently had a heart attack and her LVEF is at 25. We have her on Zoryl twice a day to help with her diabetes, and we're planning on getting her blood sugar tested soon to see if it's working. But I'm really concerned about her NTproBNP levels being so high. Is this something that needs another medication to manage? Should I be really worried about the high NTproBNP levels, and does it pose a serious threat to her health right now? Any advice you could give would really help.
For acidity, consider: Lifestyle changes: Avoid spicy fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and manage stress. Over-the-counter antacids or acid reducers like ranitidine or omeprazole. Probiotics to maintain gut health. A body temperature of 98.5F (36.9C) is within the normal range. Normal body temperature ranges from 97.7F to 99.5F (36.5C to 37.5C). Consult your doctor if you experience persistent acidity or other concerning symptoms.
