Long story short, my friend 24F cheated on her boyfriend about a month ago with her coworker who she had been secretly into for about a year. She broke up with her boyfriend 2 days after it happened, which I somewhat respect… but the dude she’s hooking up with has no idea that she cheated on her boyfriend with him or that she has genital herpes. I know for a fact they’ve had unprotected sex numerous times, sometimes multiple times in one night (she’s told me all about it). I politely asked her if she had disclosed to him that she has genital herpes, (which she’s not medicated for at all and never has been) and she told me no because she’s not in an “outbreak”. I tried to explain to her that it can still spread without any symptoms due to viral shedding and that’s how about 70% of cases are transmitted and she acted clueless and said her doctor never said anything about that to her. This isn’t the first time she’s had unprotected sex with someone knowing she has herpes but blamed the last dude for it and said he deserved to get it because he’s a “dog”. My friendship with her is hanging on by a thread, we’ve been friends since we were 6 and for the last multiple years she’s just made horrible choices and I really can’t stand her anymore but she’s never done anything to me so it’s hard to cut it off. I don’t know what to do because this dude deserves to know what he’s dealing with and I feel like that’s just a new level of horrible shit to do to someone, but if I tell him even discretely or from a fake number she’ll know it’s me because she hasn’t told anyone else. This is also her bosses son and the family who owns the place she works. What do I do?

I’m 24F, had a full cardiac work up last year with multiple EKG’s, echocardiogram and blood work along with a 3 day monitor. Everything was cleared. No PVC’s, just sinus tachycardia at times consistent with stress/working out showing up on monitor. I’ve had a few episodes of tachycardia, first 2 times being last June and this past March, both times I was sick. My heart was getting up to 150bpm and I was beyond anxious and had to take metoprolol 25mg both times which seemed to help bring it down. I figured it had to do with being sick/fever. Well last night I had an attack of some sort after going to bed pretty soon after eating a bunch of bullshit honestly 🤣pringles and kettle korn, woke up 30 ish mins later to the classic burning in my chest/throat and fast heart rate about 90-100. Ik that’s not horrible but it was high and it got up to 115 after getting really anxious. I took my beta blocker after about two hours of trying to calm down and I was able to fall asleep for like an hour, but ultimately didn’t end up sleeping last night on and off all day. I’ve had burning pretty consistently though in my chest/upper stomach and throat and my heart rate has been ranging from like 76 to 100. Could this be acid reflux, triggering tachycardia that’s lasting all day I’ve had it before where I have a flare and then the tachycardia subsides but this time has been pretty consistent. Like I said, I don’t have any heart problems. I don’t like this feeling though it’s super uncomfortable and I’m dreading sleeping tonight because I don’t want to feel my heart pounding out of my chest again. Any thoughts? Can anxiety be the main driver here? It just feels so out of my control. Thanks :)

Just wondering if anyone else gets this and how much their anxiety contributes to it.

Has anyone had constant tachycardia from gerd? Any tips on helping it to subside?
