I have a fast, fluttering heartbeat and anxiety, and my heart tests showed a fast heart rate. Since my doctor prescribed Coralan and Placida, but I am scared that Coralan might cause an irregular heartbeat as a side effect, should I take these medications, seek a second opinion from another heart specialist, or try homeopathy?
Coralan (ivabradine) is prescribed to safely slow down a fast heart rate, while Placida helps calm your anxiety. They work together to help you feel better. Ivabradine is designed to stabilize your rhythm, not cause irregularities. I highly recommend taking your prescribed medications to control your symptoms. For peace of mind, seeking a second opinion from another cardiologist is a wonderful, safe option. However, please avoid switching to homeopathy, as it lacks proven scientific evidence for managing heart rate issues.
