View allI'm feeling really tense and I'm worried it might cause a heart attack. I feel weak and lazy, but everything else seems normal. I'm currently out of town for work. Should I be concerned?
Stress and tension can contribute to an increased risk of heart attack, especially if it is chronic and not properly managed. To help alleviate your symptoms and reduce the risk of complications, you can consider taking a medication like Propranolol (40mg) to help with anxiety and physical symptoms. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, and getting regular exercise can also be beneficial.

Your BP is 10557 and your heart pulse rate is 49. Given your low blood pressure and heart rate, here are some precautions you can take at home: 1. Stay well-hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water. 2. Avoid sudden changes in position to prevent dizziness or fainting. 3.

I'm really worried because every time I feel stressed, I get chest pain and end up panicking. I rush to get an ECG and 2D echo done, but it's always normal, which is honestly exhausting. I'm scared it's something serious like a heart attack, but then the tests say otherwise. What should I do? Any advice would be appreciated.
To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a medication called **Propranolol**. This is a beta-blocker that can help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as chest pain and palpitations. The usual dosage for Propranolol in such cases is 20-40mg taken 2-3 times a day. Additionally, you may benefit from an anxiolytic medication such as **Lorazepam** to help with acute episodes of anxiety and panic. The typical dosage for Lorazepam is 0.5-2mg taken as needed for anxiety symptoms. It's important to also consider non-pharmacological approaches to managing stress, such as relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, regular physical activity, and seeking support from a therapist or counselor. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
