Question 1

How long are ECG, 2D ECHO, and Stress ECHO results valid? I've done these tests and everything came back normal, but I'm curious about how long these results are considered accurate. Should I repeat them often or are they good for a while?

Accepted Answer

Echo is valid for 6-12 months.

Question 2

I recently did some exercise for about half an hour, and afterward, I felt my heartbeat kind of radiating up to my head, which was really unusual. I could actually hear my heartbeat and felt this throbbing in my head. I did an ECG and echo2D a couple of weeks ago, and everything seemed okay back then. Is this something I should be worried about or should I go see a doctor?

Accepted Answer

It is not uncommon to experience a sensation of your heartbeat in your head after exercise, especially if you have been exerting yourself. This is known as pulsatile tinnitus and can be a normal response to physical activity. However, if you are also experiencing head throbbing along with this sensation, it may be worth monitoring and discussing with your physician. In the meantime, you can consider taking a mild pain reliever such as Acetaminophen 500mg to help alleviate any discomfort.

Question 3

I'm really worried about someone who recovered from COVID three weeks ago but is still dealing with a persistent cough and some chest congestion. What concerns me more is that just yesterday, their heart rate shot up to 117, and even though it's come down to around 95 after taking one Evapump tab, I'm unsure if it's safe to use this medication whenever their pulse rate spikes. They tested negative for COVID twice with RT PCR recently. About two weeks ago, there was another incident where their pulse rate went all the way up to 157, with a blood pressure reading of 131 over 82. Can you let me know if these fluctuations are something to be concerned about and if this medication is the right way to manage it?
