I've been noticing that my heart starts beating really fast sometimes, especially when I'm going up the stairs, and it makes me feel pretty anxious. Could you suggest some tests to figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. I recommend you get the following tests done to evaluate your heart health: 1. Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check the electrical activity of your heart. 2. Echocardiogram to assess the structure and function of your heart. 3. Stress test to evaluate how your heart responds to physical activity. 4. Holter monitor to record your heart's activity over a period of time. 5. Blood tests to check for any abnormalities in your heart enzymes or hormones. These tests will help determine the cause of your symptoms and guide further treatment.

View allI'm 35 and I've been having this pain in the middle of my chest since last evening. It feels like it's right in my chest cage and it gets worse when I move around. I'm not having any trouble breathing, which is a bit of a relief. Before this, I had some lower back pain, but that kind of went away on its own. And just last week, I had a stomach infection and took antibiotics like augmentin and medications like pantoprazole and meftal Combiflam based on the symptoms. Can you help me figure out what's going on and suggest a treatment? I'm a bit concerned about this chest pain.

I'm really worried about my brother. He's 25 and we've just found out he's got a 20mm hole in his heart. I'm not sure how serious this is and what the next steps should be. Can you help us understand what all of this means and what we should do next?
Treatment for ASD depends on the size of the hole and the symptoms it is causing. In some cases, small ASDs may not require treatment and can close on their own. However, larger defects may require intervention. One common treatment for ASD is surgical repair, where the hole is closed with a patch. Another option is transcatheter closure, where a device is inserted through a catheter to close the hole. Medications may also be prescribed to manage symptoms or prevent complications. In this case, your brother may be prescribed medications such as aspirin to prevent blood clots or medications to manage heart failure symptoms. It is important for your brother to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to discuss the best treatment options for his specific situation.

I had a peg of whiskey around 7 PM after not drinking for a while, and now I'm due to take my metocard xl 25. I'm a bit concerned about whether it's safe to take it right now. Can you advise on this?
It is not recommended to take metocard xl 25 (Metoprolol) after consuming alcohol, as it can increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting. It is best to wait at least 24 hours after consuming alcohol before taking metocard xl 25.
