Hey, a few days back I had a weird situation where I started feeling really anxious, my heart rate shot up to 150, and I had palpitations. I took Ciplar LA 20 and Dolo 650, and luckily my pulse eventually dropped back to 75. I'm trying to figure out if this was Supraventricular Tachycardia or just something normal? This happened to me once about three months ago, and it got better after taking Dolo 650 and some anxiety meds. I even had an ECG done in May, and that came out perfect. Do you think these two episodes could be Supraventricular Tachycardia, or are they just normal?

Based on your description, it is possible that you experienced episodes of Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) given the sudden onset of palpitations, anxiety feeling, and rapid rise in pulse rate to 150 beats per minute. The fact that your symptoms improved after taking Ciplar LA 20 (propranolol) which is a beta-blocker commonly used to manage SVT supports this possibility. Additionally, the normal ECG results in May suggest that there may not be any underlying structural heart issues causing the SVT. For the management of SVT episodes, you can continue to use Ciplar LA 20 as needed to help control your heart rate. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to discuss long-term management options, such as potential medication adjustments or other interventions like ablation therapy. In the meantime, it is advisable to avoid triggers that may precipitate SVT episodes, such as caffeine, stress, or certain medications. Keeping a record of your symptoms and discussing them with your healthcare provider can also help in monitoring your condition effectively.

Possible Causes
a. The symptoms you describe could be indicative of Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT), especially with a heart rate of 150 bpm.
b. Anxiety can also cause similar symptoms, but SVT should be considered given the heart rate. -
Recommendations
a. Consult a cardiologist for further evaluation, possibly including a Holter monitor to capture any irregular heart rhythms.
b. Avoid self-medicating without professional guidance, especially with heart-related symptoms. -
Immediate Actions
a. If symptoms recur, seek medical attention promptly.
b. Keep a record of episodes, including triggers and duration, to assist your healthcare provider.

View allI'm really worried after reading something about the COVID vaccine increasing the risk of blood clots and heart attacks, especially for people with high hscrp levels. My husband, who's 32, recently had an hsCRP test, and it came out to 1.7mgL. His cholesterol is also 227 with an LDL of 148. Should he think about starting ecosprin 75mg a week before he gets vaccinated and keep taking it for a few weeks after? I'm just trying to make sure we're doing everything we can to avoid any risks related to the vaccine. What do you suggest?
Elevated hs-CRP levels can indeed be a risk factor for blood clots and heart attacks. However, the decision to start taking ecosprin (aspirin) as a preventive measure should be made after consulting with a healthcare professional. In your husband's case, with an hs-CRP level of 1.7mgL, it is not considered very high. The current guidelines do not recommend routine aspirin therapy for primary prevention in individuals with low to moderate cardiovascular risk. It is important to consider the overall cardiovascular risk profile of your husband, including factors such as age, blood pressure, smoking status, and family history of heart disease. I recommend discussing these results with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate course of action regarding aspirin therapy before and after covid vaccination.

I'm a bit worried about my 65-year-old relative who recently had an angiography, and it showed they have about three blockages in the 70-80% range. We're not totally sure about the accuracy of the angiography report we got, so I'm wondering if it's possible to have another angiography done. If so, how long should we wait between the two procedures? Also, could doing a repeat angiography pose any risks or problems for them?
Repeat angiography can be done if there are doubts about the initial report. The interval between two angiographies is usually around 6-12 months, depending on the patient's condition and the recommendation of the treating physician. Repeating angiography may pose some risks such as contrast-induced nephropathy or allergic reactions, but these risks are generally low and can be managed by the medical team.

I'm worried about my pulse oximeter readings. It's been showing my pulse rate between 112 and 120, and my oxygen saturation levels are at 92 to 94. I've noticed my heart beats really fast occasionally over the past month. Considering my age and other health issues, do you think this is something I need to be concerned about?
A pulse rate between 112 and 120 with oxygen saturation of 92-94, especially if you're experiencing a fast heartbeat intermittently, can be concerning, particularly with your existing health conditions. It would be wise to consult your doctor to rule out any underlying issues, as it might indicate a need for further evaluation.
