I've been feeling this weird fluttering sensation in the middle of my chest, and it's really bothering me. It seems to hit me especially hard after I eat or when I've been doing some work, and it makes it tough to breathe. I also get this faint feeling that I can't shake off. I'm not coughing exactly, though there are times when I feel like I might start. On top of that, my back has been aching, and it's hard to stand upright. What could be causing all of this?

View allI've noticed my resting heart rate has been between 48 to 56 for the past 8 months. Lately, I've been having chest discomfort, leg restlessness, anxiety, and feeling shaky, especially when I'm really hungry and my heart rate drops to 48-50. I've had ECG, echo tests, and more about 6 months and a year ago, and they were all normal, but they did mention sinus arrhythmia with sinus bradycardia. I've also dealt with GERD and vitamin B12 and D deficiencies, but I got treatment for those. I'm just not sure what's going on and why these symptoms are happening now. What should I do?
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms related to your low resting heart rate and other issues. Since your previous tests have come back normal, it is important to address the symptoms you are currently facing. Based on your description, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter iron supplements to address any potential iron deficiency related to your symptoms. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin D supplements for your known deficiency. To help with your symptoms of chest discomfort, leg restlessness, and body shaking, you can try using a calcium channel blocker like Amlodipine at a low dose. This can help regulate your heart rate and improve blood flow. For your GERD symptoms, you can try using an antacid like Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid and alleviate discomfort. It is important to monitor your symptoms closely and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance and management.

I've just turned 38 and I'm on Eslo 5 mg for my blood pressure. Lately, though, I've noticed my readings creeping up to around 15090. Should I be worried about this, and is there something I should do to get it back under control?
If your blood pressure is consistently high even after taking Eslo 5mg, it may be time to increase your medication. Visit your regular physician for recalibration of anti-hypertensive medication. Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise of about 30 minutes everyday and cessation of smokingdrinking may be helpful. Opting for a DASH diet may also help control hypertension.

I'm a bit worried about my mom's condition after her angioplasty. It's been about three weeks now and her hand was pretty swollen. The swelling is getting better, but there are still blue and red patches on her skin. They seem to be fading, and the pain isn't as bad as before, but I'm just really curious about what's causing these color changes. Does this indicate something serious, or is it a normal part of the healing process? Her current medications include Brilinta, Ecosprin, and insulin. I've attached a photo to show you what it looks like. Could you help me understand what's happening?
The blue and red color patches on your mother's hand after angioplasty are likely due to bruising and inflammation, which can be a common side effect of the procedure. As the swelling has reduced and the patches are vanishing slowly, along with a reduction in pain, it indicates that her body is healing properly. This is a normal part of the recovery process after angioplasty. To help with the healing process, you can continue with the current medications. Additionally, you can apply a cold compress to the affected area and elevate the hand to reduce swelling. If there is persistent pain or if you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, warmth, or discharge from the area, then it would be advisable to consult with the treating physician for further evaluation.
