I have been experiencing palpitations all day, which have continued after going to bed, becoming strong and rapid. I was taken off nadolol a few days ago but took one just now. I was on a Holter monitor last week, and while my heart rate was briefly 37 at 4:00 a.m., the average rate was deemed acceptable. I have not noticed any dizziness or trouble breathing, and there are no new stresses other than the palpitations themselves. What could be causing these palpitations, and what can I do to manage them?

I need a doctor to send a requisition for blood work to test for Rheumatoid arthritis. My family doctor has retired, and I don't have a new one yet. I've been experiencing hip pain in both hips for the past 4 months and occasionally take Advil. I am 60 years old and not currently on any medications.

I have been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and GERD, and have been on Pantoprazole (Protonix) for 9 years. Despite lifestyle changes, I still experience symptoms, and I'm concerned about the long-term effects of the medication, particularly liver damage. My latest blood tests show BUN at 24 mg/dL, Creatinine at 1.15 mg/dL, and eGFR below 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. Should I be concerned about my liver, and what other treatment options should I discuss with my doctor for the hiatal hernia and GERD?

My wife was prescribed Mounjaro for weight loss and took the maximum dose of 15 mg. She is experiencing severe nausea and vomiting about 14 hours after the injection. Should I take her to the hospital, and do you know how long these symptoms will last?

I have COPD and am scheduled for a chemical stress test. Is that the preferred test or is the treadmill test preferred? I am relatively fit, except for getting short of breath easily. I am on Metoprolol for an irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure, and I experience shortness of breath with minimal exercise. I am also on Stiolto once a day and Ventolin as needed. Additionally, I have been experiencing indigestion-like symptoms, including extremely painful stabbing pain in my sternum area front and back.
