Hello. I took an Emergen C pack (1,000mg) and now I feel like my heart is racing and a little shortness of breath. Should I take maybe half and take it every other day? I like it because I m not big on taking pills and this is a lot easier. I sort of have a headache as well. Any thoughts?
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your query and concern. Shortness of breath in your case needs through assessment for the cause. I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography, ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart. Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day. Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days a week is pretty useful. Chat Doctor. Emerged C 1000 mg has to be taken as full tablet every other day for good effect. Reduce the intake of fatty and fried food. One pomegranate a day will help to keep your heart at good pace without clot formation. Consult a Cardiologist for further expert management. Post your further queries if any. Thank you.
