I'm really worried because my heart rate is usually at 100 or above. I check it by counting the pulse on my neck, and it comes out to be something like 24 to 27 pulses in 15 seconds, which is more than 100 when I calculate it for a minute. I have a history of panic attacks that started back in 2015 with a very fast heartbeat, and I was told it might have been due to acid reflux. It happened again in 2019. I'm really scared of traveling, especially late at night during long journeys. I get these terrible thoughts about what if I have an attack and theres no one around to help, like if the train is passing through a jungle. These thoughts just make my heart race even more, and I end up feeling extremely scared. Can you please help me understand what's going on and how I can handle this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety, especially given your history of panic attacks. The rapid heartbeat you are feeling could be related to anxiety and stress. To help manage your symptoms, I recommend trying relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. In terms of medication, you can consider taking a beta-blocker such as Propranolol. Start with a low dose of 10mg once daily, and you can increase it as needed under medical supervision. Beta-blockers can help reduce heart rate and physical symptoms of anxiety. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm really worried about my 72-year-old mom. She had an angioplasty last month and didn't have any pain after, but she's developed this really bad dry cough. She's on a bunch of meds: clopilet, ecosprin, prolomet, ivabrad, lipicure, pantocid, and piriton syrup, plus aldactone. Do you think any of these could be causing her cough, or is there something else we should be looking into? I really want to help her get some relief. What do you suggest?

I'm 25 and recently got vaccinated, but I've started having chest pains and trouble breathing. My ECG shows something called a left anterior hemiblock. Is this something serious? What should I do about it?

Left anterior hemiblock is a condition where there is a delay in the electrical signal conduction in the heart. In most cases, it is not considered a serious issue, especially in young individuals like yourself. However, since you are experiencing chest pains and breathing issues after vaccination, it is important to monitor your symptoms closely. To address the chest pains and breathing issues, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for the chest pain and practice deep breathing exercises to help with breathing. It is also important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. In terms of the left anterior hemiblock, it is recommended to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. They may suggest monitoring your heart rhythm regularly and making lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise and a healthy diet. If necessary, they may prescribe medications like beta-blockers to help regulate your heart rate. Overall, it is important to stay in touch with your healthcare provider and seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen or if you have any concerns.
