Hey, I went to the doctor and got tested for heart palpitations, but everything came back normal. I'm supposed to go back in January, but today I experienced heart palpitations for about 40 minutes, and my heart rate was at 130. I felt really hot and a bit faint. I'm on my period, been feeling super stressed, and my eating habits haven't been great these past few weeks. Is this something normal because of all that, or should I be worried?

I'm really stressed about my recent health issues. My blood pressure was 190100 two weeks ago, and I've been on medication since then. I've checked a couple of times after starting the meds, and my bp was 15090 and another time 17090. It's worrying me, and to top it off, I've been getting random pains in my left neck and shoulder, which makes sleeping hard. The cardiologist said my ECG and echo are normal. My cholesterol is fine, but I'm low on vitamin D and B12, so I'm taking supplements. Also just found out my blood sugar is high, so I'm on meds for that too. One doctor mentioned that the medicine might be causing the pain and that it might take weeks for my bp to stabilize. Is that true? Would love some insight into this.

It is common for blood pressure levels to take some time to stabilize after starting medication. In your case, since your initial blood pressure reading was high at 190100, it may take a few weeks for the medication to fully lower your blood pressure to a normal range. The random pains in your left neck and shoulder could be related to muscle tension or other factors, but it's good that you have already consulted a cardiologist who found your ECG and echo to be normal. Regarding your vitamin deficiencies and high blood sugar, it's important to continue taking your supplements and medication as prescribed. For high blood pressure, it's essential to follow your doctor's advice and medication regimen consistently. One commonly prescribed medication for high blood pressure is Losartan, typically starting at a dosage of 50mg once daily. It's crucial to monitor your blood pressure regularly and report any persistent symptoms or concerns to your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling pretty concerned about my wife's situation. She's 32 years old and she's had two abortions in the past. She's currently 23 weeks into an IVF pregnancy. Before getting pregnant, her echo was normal with an EF of 67, but now it shows Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction with an EF of 57, though everything else seems alright. She's experiencing mild breathlessness during activities like bathing. Her blood pressure reads 12490 on the right and 12084 on the left. I'm wondering if I should consider starting her on Labetalol. Is this something we should be worried about?

Considering your wife's medical history and current condition, it is important to address the diastolic dysfunction and high blood pressure to ensure the well-being of both your wife and the baby. Labetalol is a suitable choice for managing hypertension in pregnancy. I recommend starting your wife on tab. labetalol at a dose of 100 mg twice daily initially, with close monitoring of blood pressure. The dosage can be adjusted as needed based on her response. It is essential to continue monitoring her symptoms, blood pressure, and cardiac function regularly throughout the pregnancy. Additionally, it would be beneficial for your wife to follow up with her obstetrician and cardiologist for further evaluation and management of her cardiac condition during pregnancy.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent ECG report which showed sinus bradycardia and a slight ST elevation in leads V4, V5, and V6. Is this something to be worried about or is it considered normal?

In your ECG report, sinus bradycardia with slight ST elevation in leads V4, V5, and V6 can indicate a possible myocardial injury or ischemia. It is important to further evaluate this finding to rule out any underlying heart condition. You may need to take medications like Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, medications like Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can help in controlling heart rate and blood pressure. It is advisable to follow up with a cardiologist for a more detailed assessment and management plan.
