View allI've been having a fast heart rate between 100 and 120 over the last few days. I'm using a brown inhaler for my asthma and an over-the-counter decongestant because of nasal polyps. Could these meds be causing it? If I stop taking them, how long might it take for my heart rate to go back to normal?
Both your asthma inhaler medication and the over-the-counter decongestant can contribute to an increased heart rate. The bronchodilator medication in your inhaler can cause a temporary increase in heart rate as a side effect. Similarly, decongestants can also stimulate the heart and lead to a faster heart rate. If you stop taking these medications, your heart rate should return to normal within a few hours to a few days, depending on how long you have been taking them and your body's response. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

My friend's mom has had two heart valve replacement surgeries, and they've found another leak in the valve. The doctors have said doing another surgery isnt an option because her body can't handle it. Are there any other ways to deal with this situation? I'm really worried and would appreciate any advice you could provide.

I'm feeling a bit worried and would like some advice. I tested positive on December 19th and my CT scan shows corads 4. I've been diabetic for 10 years and had a heart blockage about 5 months ago. Recently, my D-dimer level is at 0.34, and my sugar levels are high, with an HBA1c of 8.9 and an average blood glucose of 208. Right now, I don't have any symptoms, but given my medical history, do you think I should consider hospitalization?
