I've been sleeping okay at night, but for the past four days, I've been waking up around 5 am with my heart racing. It's really weird and a bit scary. On top of that, I've been dealing with GERD for the last three weeks and taking Pantocid for it. What's going on with my heart? Should I be worried?

View allI'm dealing with Rheumatoid Arthritis and I'm on methotrexate. Recently, I've been experiencing heart palpitations, like up to 12 times a minute, mostly in the evening, but now it's happening more often. My heart rate's been an average of 107, but right now it's at 91 bpm. I've got an appointment on Wednesday at the heart hospital to get things checked out. But I'm really curious about when this stuff would be considered an emergency. It's making me feel pretty uncomfortable. Any advice?
It is important to monitor your symptoms closely. If you experience severe chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, or dizziness along with the heart palpitations, it could be a sign of a more serious issue and would be considered an emergency. Since you are already scheduled for an appointment at the heart hospital on Wednesday, it is best to discuss your symptoms with the healthcare provider there. They will be able to evaluate your condition and provide appropriate guidance.

My mom has a 28 mm hole in her heart. Can the immune system heal this naturally, or is surgery necessary? I'm also curious whether treatments like Ayurveda might help. What do you suggest?
A 28 mm hole in the heart, likely referring to a congenital defect such as an atrial septal defect (ASD) or a ventricular septal defect (VSD), typically requires medical intervention. This size of a defect is unlikely to close on its own and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Surgery or a catheter-based procedure is usually required to close such a large defect. Ayurveda or other alternative therapies are not effective for treating structural heart defects. It's crucial to consult with a cardiologist to discuss the appropriate treatment options for your mother

I'm curious about whether my resting heart rate is okay. I'm at 84 BPM, and I've read that's normal for my age and weight. Should I consider getting any further check-ups, or do you think it's all good?
