I bought a 6L EKG device and noticed palpitations and sudden intense/rapid heartbeats, like muscle spasms. I take propranolol daily for hyperthyroidism-related elevated heart rate/palpitations, but the sensation persists even after taking the dose. The palpitations used to happen rarely but have been occurring off and on for the past 30 minutes. What is it and should I be concerned? How does the EKG look?

What should I do if a pregnancy test comes back positive and I don't plan on keeping the pregnancy? Are there options other than surgical abortion, such as medication?

I have a pimple-like lesion on my glans that hasn't grown, burned, or itched for the last 3 weeks. I'm concerned it might be a wart. Can you help me understand if it's a wart, how to get rid of it, and if it will resolve on its own?

I have extreme itchiness and redness, and I’m not sure if it’s a yeast infection since I’ve never had one before. I don’t smell any other kind of odor, and I’m currently on my period. When did the itchiness start, and has it been constant or does it come and go? Does your skin look any different (red, dry, scaley, raised, etc.)? Do you have any known allergies or any other medical history the Doctor should know about?

I am a 60-year-old female with normal weight and blood pressure. I have Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and undergo an echocardiogram every year through my primary care physician. All results are normal except for mild mitral regurgitation and trace tricuspid regurgitation. Do I need to follow up with a cardiologist?
