What causes a feeling of palpitations in the chest and head?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern. I think that you have iron-deficiency anemia (a condition that occurs when the body does not have enough iron to produce enough red blood cells). I strongly suspect that you have it. Do a Holter monitoring test (a painless, non-invasive procedure that records the heart's electrical activity over a period of time) again while having palpitations.

Can I opt for local anesthesia for my cosmetic procedures?

Will Tadalafil's efficacy change after general anesthesia?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. Traumatic brain injury, the name itself suggests trauma- head injury, fall from height, etc. I am sure traumatic brain injury patients will not have a GCS (The Glasgow Coma Scale, a clinical scale used to reliably measure a person's level of consciousness after a brain injury) of 15/15, wherein they have the insight, consciousness, and ability to ask very specific questions. I can reassure you that there is no chance of traumatic brain injury, and also, general anesthesia does not cause brain injury.

Is anesthesia risky with a bifascicular bundle block?

Hello, Welcome back to icliniq.com. Bifasicular block is commonly RBBB (right bundle branch block) with left or right axis deviation. I need to explain to you that patients with this block are safe to undergo anesthesia. I would have been happy if an ECG had been attached. If LBBB (left bundle branch block) is associated with the bifascicular block, only then does the risk increase, which is a complete heart block that needs a pacemaker.

Are there low‑interaction sedative options for my surgery?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. Please convey your medical history to the anesthetist when you have a pre-anesthetic consultation. I am sure that they will be using Remifentanil (an opioid analgesic) infusion for the surgery. This drug is short-acting and is considered a low-interaction sedative option that can be used alongside diazepam (anxiolytic).
