Question 4

which acid reflux pill has least side effects? most of them give me heart palpitations?

Accepted Answer

: You should review the medicines you have tried with your doctor since there may be a class of medicines you did not try. You would need to try a medicine in a different class than the ones you did try to see if that avoids the palpitation side effect you are experiencing. A GI doctor may be helpful as well to recommend a different medication. Good luck!

Question 5

is it normal for buspar (buspirone) to give you extreme heart palpitations? been on it for years and has been increased recently. it wakes me from sleep sometimes

Accepted Answer

Can cause insomnia: Buspar - buspirone - can cause insomnia, including waking up during the night. But causing palpitations is unusual. I wonder if the palpitations are part of the anxiety that you are probably being treated with Buspar? If anxiety is not managed it may seem like Buspar is perhaps causing it?

Accepted Answer

: Rinsing nasal passages with saline often is effective in reducing the symptoms of cough and congestion. A dry cough is often associated with bronchospasm. Discuss whether you need a trial of Albuterol with your physician. A honey based cough preparation is available over the counter. If cough worsens, or is associated with shortness of breath, please follow up soon.

Question 8

what should a doctor consider before giving a patient metoprolol for heart palpitations due to too much adrenaline?

An endocrinologist: B"sd It is essential to define the nature and source of the excess "adrenaline", which usually refers to normetanephrine (NE) and less commonly but much more dangerous epinephrine (E).  Metoprolol is a selective beta blocker which can counter the effects of excess NE. However, E is both beta and alpha.  In conditions of E excess metoprolol can result in paradoxical severe hypertension emergency

Question 9

Question 10

im a 28 year old mother of a toddler and have been recently diagnosed with anaemia 10 months after giving birth. ive never had this before and lately i experience dizzy spells coupled with frequent heart palpitations. please help?

Accepted Answer

Anemia: This is a rather common problem that usually reflects poor iron intake in the diet. There are other potential causes but this  one is usually treated with diet change to include foods rich in iron and an OTC iron supplement. Once you are anemic it can take several months on the proper supplements to get back into the normal range. Discuss it with the doc who labeled you.
