I've been having this tightness in my chest and feeling really tired, plus I'm not sleeping well at all. It's also making my mood all over the place and I'm dealing with some shortness of breath too. Could these symptoms be connected? Should I be concerned or is this something that will pass on its own?

You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or stress. To help with these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 1mg as needed for anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises or meditation, may also be beneficial. If symptoms persist, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've been taking Concor Cor 2.5 mg every day for the past couple of months to help with chest pain, not for high blood pressure. I'm feeling better now and was wondering how I can stop taking it safely without causing any problems? I'd really appreciate your advice!

Continue all the medications..

I'm 52 and had bypass surgery back in 2004. Right now, I'm getting chelation treatment for my heart (35EF). I'm not sure if this is the best option for me can you explain whether chelation treatment is really helpful in my case?

Stop this treatment immediately. At present this treatment is not advocated by any professional cardiac society. U may end up having kidney failure. Always get time tested therapies. If y want u can get second opinion by other certified cardiologist

I've noticed that my heart rate has been at 120 for the past three hours. I feel okay overall, just dealing with a minor cold. Could you help me understand why this is happening?

A heart rate of 120+ beats per minute can be elevated due to various reasons, including stress, anxiety, fever, dehydration, or certain medications. Since you mentioned having a minor cold, it is possible that your elevated heart rate is a response to the infection. To help lower your heart rate, you can try taking over-the-counter medication like **Acetaminophen** for fever and discomfort associated with the cold. Additionally, ensure you stay well-hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation.
