_iPill and Vaginal Bleeding: Precautions and Expected Duration_ The iPill (emergency contraceptive pill) can cause changes in your menstrual cycle, including vaginal bleeding. _Causes of Bleeding:_ 1. _Hormonal changes_: The iPill contains levonorgestrel, which can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to bleeding. 2. _Delayed ovulation_: The iPill can delay ovulation, causing irregular bleeding. _Precautions:_ 1. _Monitor bleeding_: Keep track of the bleeding's duration, heaviness, and any accompanying symptoms like pain or clots. 2. _Sanitary hygiene_: Use sanitary pads or tampons to manage bleeding, and change them regularly to prevent infection. 3. _Avoid strenuous activities_: Refrain from heavy exercise, bending, or lifting to minimize bleeding. _Expected Duration:_ 1. _Bleeding duration_: Vaginal bleeding after taking the iPill can last anywhere from a few days to 2-3 weeks. 2. _Menstrual cycle resumption_: Your menstrual cycle may resume within 2-4 weeks after taking the iPill. _When to Seek Medical Attention:_ 1. _Heavy bleeding_: If you experience heavy bleeding, soaking more than 2-3 pads or tampons per hour. 2. _Severe pain_: If you have severe abdominal pain, cramping, or discomfort. 3. _Fever_: If you have a fever over 101.5F (38.6C). 4. _Prolonged bleeding_: If bleeding persists for more than 3 weeks. Consult your healthcare provider or a gynecologist if you experience any of these symptoms or have concerns about your bleeding.

I did all of my heart tests yesterday like ECG, echo, and TMT, and everything was normal. But today, my heart rate went up to 120 bpm because of anxiety. I got scared while watching a movie and now I'm just really worried. Could this affect my heart? My heart rate is back to 80 now, though. Could you please let me know if I should be concerned?
based on your description, it seems like you experienced palpitations and an increase in heart rate due to anxiety. Since your recent heart-related tests (ECG, echo, TMT) were normal, there is likely no immediate cause for concern. To help manage your anxiety-induced palpitations, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily. This can help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations during stressful situations. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication. In the meantime, practicing relaxation techniques and deep breathing exercises may also help alleviate anxiety-related palpitations. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid excessive caffeine intake as well.
