I'm a 25-year-old female, and I'm pretty worried about my health right now. My weight is 73 kg, and my blood pressure reads 135 over 85. I've been feeling this shortness of breath, which got me to check things out with an ECG. The report mentioned I've got sinus tachycardia and an atrioventricular conduction block. I honestly don't know what all this means, and it's kind of freaking me out. How serious is this situation?

Sinus tachycardia and atrioventricular conduction block can be concerning, especially if you are experiencing symptoms like shortness of breath. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) to help control your heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, you may need a temporary pacemaker to manage the conduction block. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for a comprehensive treatment plan.

I did an ECG, echo, chest X-ray, and TMT about 2 months ago, and thankfully all the tests came back normal. Since then, Ive managed to get my blood pressure down to 12480. I'm 30 years old, a non-smoker, and I dont drink alcohol. Could you give me some advice on when I should consider repeating these tests?

Hi, since your previous tests were normal and you have controlled your blood pressure well, you can repeat the ECG, echo, chest x-ray, and TMT tests every 1-2 years for routine monitoring.
