People who had nighttime heartburn once a week, or regular heartburn over a long period, had a 10 times higher risk of cancer in a new Swedish study. If you have recurring heartburn, tell your doctor. Safe prescription drugs can manage the problem. Don't ignore frequent mood changes, mild depression or a sense that, emotionally, you're just not yourself. These are common indicators of thyroid problems, which can lead to heart illness and other diseases.
Medications can easily fix the problem.
Ask your doctor for a TSH test to check thyroid hormone levels. Although one American in 100 is allergic to nuts, nearly half the people who have experienced this itchy side effect never see a doctor to be tested for food allergy. If your heart suddenly feels like it's racing, you may be one of 500,000 Americans with PSVT, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. It's rarely life-threatening, but medication or a short surgical procedure can make you feel better. See your doctor to be tested.
