My wound is not healing. What could be wrong?
The most likely reason is possible infection. Is it red? Swollen? Painful? Malodorous? Is it draining? If you responded yes to any of those I would recommend seeing a provider for further evaluation and possible need for antibiotics. If it is healing, but slow to heal, I would question circulation and/or overall healing problems. For this, I would also recommend seeing a provider for further evaluation of possible peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, etc. READ MORE
Should I be worried about slight deviations in my heart rate?
It may be something to be concerned about, but difficult to definitively say. Sometimes it can be as simple as a PVC (premature ventricular contraction), which many times is benign. However, if your heart rate is escalating to a very rapid rate, this could be more alarming (i.e., supraventricular tachycardia). If you are concerned, an ECG can help to diagnose. Keep in mind that the ECG will only read your current heart rhythm and may not catch the episode if you are not experiencing the irregularity during the test. READ MORE
