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.

View allMy mom has been in the hospital for a few days with chest and left arm pain, and the doctors are saying her ejection fraction is really low. Theyve mentioned theres no definite treatment beyond the medication she's on, and theyre not sure about her life expectancy. Im really worried. Is there any other treatment available, like pacemakers or maybe even a transplant? How does a low ejection fraction, like 28, affect life expectancy?
With an ejection fraction of 28%, your mother is experiencing heart failure. In cases where medication alone is not sufficient, treatment options such as implanting a pacemaker or considering heart transplantation may be considered. Pacemakers can help regulate the heart's rhythm and improve its function. In more severe cases, heart transplantation may be recommended. Medications that are commonly used to manage heart failure and improve ejection fraction include: - ACE inhibitors (e.g., Enalapril) - Dosage: as prescribed by the doctor - Beta blockers (e.g., Metoprolol) - Dosage: as prescribed by the doctor - Diuretics (e.g., Furosemide) - Dosage: as prescribed by the doctor - Aldosterone antagonists (e.g., Spironolactone) - Dosage: as prescribed by the doctor It is important to follow the treatment plan outlined by the healthcare team and make lifestyle changes to manage heart failure effectively. As for life expectancy, it can vary depending on various factors, including the underlying cause of heart failure, overall health, and response to treatment. It is best to discuss this in detail with your healthcare provider.

I had COVID back in May 2021 and was in quarantine. Things were normal until late August when I started having a cold and got treated with antibiotics. After finishing the antibiotics, I noticed this slight pain on the left side of my chest while breathing deeply, as well as pain in my left hand. It's not sharp anymore, just a constant feeling. My chest X-ray came back normal, but the ECG showed Sinus Tachycardia, and sometimes my heart rate spikes. I'm 26, recently quit smoking, and I'm worried if this could be something like COPD or lung cancer. I can hold my breath for over a minute and can exhale in about 15 seconds, so I'm not breathless. But I'm really anxious, my hands and feet get sweaty, and there's this skin issue on my lower foot which makes me think about hyperthyroidism. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm seriously worried.
no its neither copd or cancer
