Question 1

Hey, I've been feeling really worried lately. So, I'm a 29-year-old guy and back in December, I had this scary episode where my heart was racing like crazy and I had chest pain. I rushed to the hospital, they did an ECG, and said everything looked fine. I even saw another senior cardiologist who also checked me out and didn't find anything alarming. They gave me some meds like clonozopam and betacap tr 40, and things were okay for a while. But the past few weeks, I've been getting this weird fluttering or vibrating feeling in my heart, especially in the evenings. I don't have any chest pain or other symptoms now, but I'm really stressed about it. With the lockdown, I'm having trouble seeing a doctor again. Do you think this could just be anxiety, or is there something else going on? What should I do? I've attached the ECG from that time, if that helps.

Accepted Answer

That could be due to anxiety,if your previos medicines are avaialable with you you can take those medicines and visit psychiatrist for appropriate management

Question 2

I'm feeling a bit worried because all my tests like ECG, echocardiography, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram came back normal, but I'm still having symptoms every day. Could it be microvascular angina or maybe spasms in my arteries, or is it something else entirely?

Accepted Answer

Based on your normal test results and everyday symptoms, it is possible that you may be experiencing microvascular angina or spasms in the arteries. In such cases, medications like Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be helpful in relieving symptoms. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually as needed. Additionally, medications like Calcium channel blockers such as Amlodipine can also be prescribed to help with vasospasms. The typical dosage for Amlodipine is 5 to 10 mg once daily. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm a 24-year-old woman weighing 37kg and my resting heart rate is usually between 120-130bpm, sometimes going up to 134bpm. This has been happening for the past 5 years but I don't have any other health issues or discomfort because of it. Should I be worried about this high heart rate? Could it be dangerous or lead to problems later? I really don't want surgery can this be managed with medicines instead? Does homeopathy work for something like this?

Accepted Answer

A consistently high resting heart rate (over 100 bpm) like yours (120-130 bpm) should be investigated by a doctor. While it might not be immediately dangerous, it could indicate an underlying issue that needs attention, and can potentially lead to complications later. Medications are often used to manage high heart rate, and homeopathy is not a reliable or scientifically proven treatment for such conditions, according to the Mayo Clinic and the British Heart Foundation.
