Hi



Greeting from HealthcareMagic



Consult a pulmonologist for clinical examination of lung field. ECG should be taken and consult a cardiologist for examination and diagnosis. It can be a pacemaker problem.New pacemaker can be implanted. It can be hyper acidity, so you can take tablet Omiprazol with Polycrol gel.Take bland diet, fresh fruits and vegetable. Vegetable soup can also be taken. Benadryl cough sedative can be taken.



Take Care!
