My dad was in the hospital, had an angiography, and they put a stent in his heart. Ever since, his heart rate's been all over the place, and he's been vomiting blood after eating or drinking. What's going on? Is this normal after a procedure like this, or should we be really concerned?

I've noticed that sometimes my heartbeat suddenly speeds up while I'm sleeping, but it goes back to normal after a few minutes. Should I be concerned about this?

This sudden increase in heart rate during sleep could be due to a condition called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). To help manage this, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for Metoprolol in this case is 25-100mg per day, as prescribed by a doctor. It helps to regulate the heart rate and prevent episodes of rapid heartbeat. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

I'm staying home due to the lockdown and have been checking my BP and heart pulse at home for the past four days. My BP is 105 over 572, and my heart pulse rate is 49. Should I be worried, and are there any precautions or steps I can take here at home?

Your BP is 10557 and your heart pulse rate is 49. Given your low blood pressure and heart rate, here are some precautions you can take at home: 1. Stay well-hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water. 2. Avoid sudden changes in position to prevent dizziness or fainting. 3. Consume a balanced diet rich in nutrients, including foods high in iron. 4. Engage in light physical activities to improve circulation. 5. Monitor your symptoms regularly and seek medical attention if you experience any concerning symptoms. 6. Consider consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. 7.

I'm about to go to bed but suddenly I felt this weird burst-like sensation near my heart. Since then, I've been experiencing heart palpitations, occasional chest pain, and a constant numbness in my left hand. What could be causing this? I'm pretty worried and would love some guidance on what steps I should take.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
