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?

View allI've been wearing a Holter monitor for three days because I've been having these palpitations. I got the report back and it mentions something about arrhythmia. Is this something I should be worried about or is it considered normal?
Hi, wearing a Holter monitor for three days is a common way to monitor heart activity for palpitations. Arrhythmias can be detected in such monitoring, and it is important to review the specific type and frequency of arrhythmias mentioned in your report. Depending on the type of arrhythmia detected, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-100mgday) to help manage the palpitations and regulate your heart rhythm. It is important to follow up with your doctor to discuss the findings of the report and any recommended treatment options.

I've been dealing with sinus tachycardia, and my doctor suggested I try met xl 12.5 mg. I've been on it for a few days, and while my resting pulse rate has dropped a bit from 100 to 90 bpm, it still jumps to around 105-110 bpm when I'm doing normal activities. I'm wondering if it's safe to up my dose from 12.5 mg to 25 mg, and how long would be okay to stay on that higher dose?
It is not recommended to adjust the dosage of Met XL without consulting your doctor. Increasing the dose from 12.5mg to 25mg should only be done under the supervision of a healthcare professional. They will assess your condition and determine if a dosage adjustment is necessary. Please consult your doctor for proper evaluation and guidance on the dosage adjustment and duration of treatment

I'm really stressed out because I've had a few ECGs recently, with the last two done today. They show sinus rhythm with marked left axis deviation, and it's consistent with LAFB, but at the same time, it says there's no significant abnormalities. Without any medical insurance, I'm super worried. Is this something serious? Can you explain what all of this means?
Sinus rhythm with left axis deviation and left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) on ECG can be a normal variant in some individuals. It may not always indicate a serious underlying heart condition. However, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Metoprolol (25-50mg twice daily) to help manage any associated symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.
