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.

I'm really worried because last night my pulse rate was 130 after dinner, and I ended up taking Metocard XL 25 before heading to the hospital. They did an ECG and just sent me back home. But today, I've been feeling the same way. What should I do? Any suggestions?

It seems like you are experiencing a high pulse rate. Metocard XL 25 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker medication. In this case, you can continue taking Metocard XL 25 as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, you may also consider lifestyle modifications such as reducing stress, avoiding caffeine, and getting regular exercise. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

So, I'm 14 and have been masturbating for about a year now. It feels really good when I do it, but afterwards, I notice that my heartbeat feels louder and sometimes it races. Can you tell me if that's normal or if I should be concerned?

It's important to know that changes in heart rate can be influenced by various factors, including anxiety, stress, and physical activity. However, if you're concerned about these symptoms, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness to help manage your symptoms.

Why does my heart start racing for about an hour after I have lunch or eat a heavy meal? I've been on Concor 1.25 mg for two weeks now. My echocardiogram, ECG, Holter monitor, and cholesterol, including LDL levels, all came back okay. I've been diagnosed with panic disorder, but I'm worried if there's a connection here. Any insights?

It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of tachycardia after meals. Since your heart tests and cholesterol levels are normal, and you have been diagnosed with panic disorder, the fast heart rate may be related to anxiety or panic attacks. In addition to Concor (Bisoprolol) 1.25mg, you can try taking a medication called Propranolol 10mg as needed to help with the rapid heart rate. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that can help control the physical symptoms of anxiety, including tachycardia. It is important to discuss this with your doctor to see if it is suitable for you and to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific situation.
