My wife is due to deliver in Kerala, and she's planning to travel on January 8th, 2017. She'll be nine months pregnant by then. We're wondering if it's safe for her to travel by car or train since the journey will take more than 10 hours. What do you think?

I'm a bit concerned because I've been noticing this yellow liquid discharge for about a month now. It varies between being thick and light, but there's no pain involved. Could you help me understand what's going on or suggest what I should do?

Anxiety can indeed cause physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat and palpitations. However, in most cases, anxiety-related heart symptoms are not a sign of underlying heart disease. Nevertheless, chronic anxiety can increase cardiovascular risk factors over time, such as high blood pressure and heart rate. But sudden cardiac arrest or heart attack due to anxiety alone is rare. To alleviate concerns, consider consulting a cardiologist and a mental health professional. They can help you manage anxiety and monitor cardiovascular health.
