Suggest Medication For Tachycardia Causing Shortness Of Breath And Anxiety
In the past 3 days im having tachycardia mostly triggered by eating and a lil bit of alcohol. Im also experiencing palpitations, pressure in chest close to neck, pulse feeling in throat, feeling like having a fever while i dont, anxiety and restlesness, very brief episodes of shortness of breath, stomach pressure like my stomach turns into stone, mild intestinal pain, weakness in both knees, and a feeling of malaise.
Have been tested recently for a bowel obstruction and gastroenterologist ive visited told me it was IBS. No colonoscopy was performed cause doctors didnt find it necessary. That happened 10 days ago.
Visited the hospital 3 hours ago and i had a cardiogram and a troponine test. Cardiogram was normal and troponine was 0.000% and so they let me go saying its anxiety or cold.
I came home and after i ate same thing happened again and right now having these symtpoms and im feeling scared and unsure of what to do.

Brief Answer:
Take 20 mg of propanolol (betacap).
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM.
I understand your concern, and I hope i may help you.
First of all , take a breath , because serious health problems which are related to the heart are excluded by electrocardiogram and troponine. It is a embarrassing situation , but not without a solution.
You can take 20 mg of propanolol (Betacap). And then 10 mg each day.
Propanolol is effective in this situations and has less side effects than other classes of medications given against anxiety.
Remember not to consume alcohol, don't smoke and don't use energetic drinks.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications. Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
Kind Regards,
Dr. Juarda
