Suggest Treatment For Weakness, Fluttering Sensation And Heaviness In Chest

Hi. I am a heart patient that experiences heart episodes often but I experienced a new symptom...I was laying in bed and an episode had started of fluttering, weakness, heaviness if chest, etc but this time it accompanied the taste of metal in my mouth, like the taste of blood. What could that mean?

Hello,

Fluttering sensation may be due to palpitations or anxiety. Metallic taste may be due to:
1. Bleeding gums
2. Iron tablet or antacid syrp consumption
3. Acid reflux or Hemetemeis
4. Drugs like anti platelet agent's or some antibiotics may present like this

Use tablet pantaprazole before breakfast for two weeks. Get it done ECG to rule out tachyarrthmias. Please consult with your physician/ cardiologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
