Brief Answer:
Please, these symptoms are very unspecific and not suggestive of a disease

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I have reviewed your information fully and these symptoms are not suggestive of any particular disease condition. I am of the thinking that they are transient and would eventually resolve spontaneously without the need of any specific medical attention. For now, I will recommend resting, good diet of fruits, vegetables and regular exercise. For sure, this would soon go away and all would return to normal.

Though we are never conscious of our heart beating, it is simply because we do not pay attention to it. Each time you want to listen to your heart, be sure you would be able to hear it beating and that in no way means you have a disease condition.

I hope this helps. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Also, if these symptoms fail to resolve within 48hours, please let me know for further considerations. If there are any other symptoms you never reported, please do well to update me with this information.

Brief Answer:
For now, monitor only.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

These symptoms are suggestive of a possible drop in blood pressure. It could be related to low fluid intake or excessive sweating. I recommend you eat healthy and drink enough fluids. This would be very helpful and should address this worry. It is a transient observation and would subside sooner than later.

I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
PLease, where is teh attached file from?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have seen an attached document talking about a series of problems? Is this from your hospital records or where did you take this from?

I really think there is nothing too worrisome that we must get aggressive at this time. That's the reason why I am rather taking a watchful approach and unless something else comes up, I will not be taking any aggressive measures at this time.

We do not feel a lot better over hours. Be patient and look at every improvement and not complete resolution of symptoms.

I hope this helps. Let me hear from you on these attachments.

Brief Answer:
I am so sorry for this persistent feeling!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Is it possible to get your doctors to re-evaluate your treatment? This would be helpful as the number of conditions you are being managed for require a detailed understanding of your health records and that is not possible on this media.

If that is not possible, please provide me with a list of all your medications and I will try to make the best of then here with limited chances.

I wish you well.
