blurry vision at times, sore throat sometimes, racing heart rate at times, ringing in the ear 24/7 since march 2020, doc has me on metoprolol 25mg x 2 times a day (am/pm) for racing heart rate (the pills work), no doctors can figure out the ringing?

Question

I have tachycardia. I'm on toprol (metoprolol) 25 mg. But heart rate is better, but still stays above 100. I'm also dizzy a lot. Should i ask doc to go to 50 mg?

Answer 1

Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears can become a chronic condition. From what you've described, you've had this for almost a year now along with additional symptoms. The typical testing for patients with tinnitus would include a hearing (audiogram) along with a test of the ear drum (tympanogram). In some situations, providers may also recommend further testing including imaging studies like an MRI

Answer 2

Sinus infection?: The muscle aches, headache, and fever suggests some infection. It sounds like it might be a sinus infection. If fever is over 100.5, then seeing a doctor is wise. Otherwise, trying some decongestants and/or antihistamines to open up the sinuses and let them drain; and add some Motrin or tylenol (acetaminophen) for the muscle and head aches. See a primary care doctor if symptoms don't get better or do get worse.

Answer 3

Viral infection: This sounds like a viral infection and if persists you should follow up with your doctor.

Answer 4

Myocardial ischemia: Ventricular fibrillation is a heart rhythm problem that occurs when the heart beats with rapid, erratic electrical impulses, making it is unable to pump efficiently. It is usually associated with myocardial ischemia ( heart attack).

Answer 5

Kidney stone?: There is definitely something going on. Are you on anbiotics for a specific diagnosis? Your symptoms are suggestive of kidney stone. Pain from a gynecologic source isn't ruled out. See your doctor for follow up soon.

Answer 6

Go back to ER: You should go back to er now. Tell the doc there about your symptoms and sonogram result. You should have a ct scan repeated. They will have a surgeon to examine you and make sure you dont have appendicitis. Sometimes, ct scan can't see the appendix . If clinical setting fits with appendicitis- an exploratory laparoscopy would be needed. Go to er now.

Answer 7

Follow up for help : Hi. I answered your questions last week. My comments are no longer visible, but i hope that you received the answers of many of us doctors at healthtap. It appears that most said the same thing: 1. It is appropriate to call the original doctor if the condition does not improve or worsens, 2. Going back to an er is a consideration in case of emergency, 3. Following instructions is important @drpam.

Answer 8

Abdominal pain: Is there a histaory of abdominal trauma? What has she eaten or drank today? Regardless, first order is to induce a bowel movement since she hasn't had one today. Observe for another hour or two. If the stomachache worsens, a shift in the location of the pain occurs and/or she develops vomiting or fever, it will be best to have her evaluated at the ed tonight.

Answer 9

Many things: There are many things that could be going on. She needs to be examined to determine what is going on.

Answer 10

Suppressed, not kill: The potassium citrate may have suppressed the bugs from growing and thus contributed to the symptom improvement, but it did not destroy the bugs. After stopping the citrate, the bugs again able to grow/multiply and thus return of your symptoms. I would recommend seeing a doc for a quick test/culture and antibiotic treatment. Don't waite too long as it may get worse. Good luck.

Answer 11

Check it out: Potassium citrate is not a treatment option for a urinary tact infection. It may help the antibiotic to clear it up, ut will not take care of it itself. I recommend seeing a doc for your symptoms.
