I'm a bit concerned about my ECG results. It mentioned "Sinus rhythm and ST Elevation probable normal early repolarization pattern." Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be worried about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A sinus rhythm on an ECG indicates that the heart is beating normally. ST elevation with probable normal early repolarization pattern can be a normal variant in some individuals, especially young, healthy individuals. However, it can also be seen in conditions like pericarditis or myocardial infarction. Since I don't have the complete picture of your health and medical history, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.

View allI'm really concerned about this numbness in my left hand and the anxiety I'm feeling. I went to see my doctor, who suggested I visit a cardiologist. After doing a 2D echo, the cardiologist mentioned something about a dilated LV, and it's got me really stressed out. What does dilated LV mean? Should I be worried about it?
it is concerning to hear about your symptoms and the findings on your 2D echo report showing dilated left ventricle (LV). In this case, the cardiologist may prescribe medications to help with the condition. One common medication for dilated LV is Carvedilol, starting at a low dose of 3.125 mg twice daily and gradually increasing as tolerated. This medication can help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. Additionally, the cardiologist may recommend lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and stress management techniques to support heart health. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist regularly to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed

I'm wondering if my dad, who got a pacemaker back in 2016 and is currently on medications like BPAsomex, Atorva, and LosarH, can safely get the COVID-19 vaccine. Should he continue taking these meds before and after getting the vaccine, or is there anything specific we need to do? He's okay right now, but I just want to make sure everything stays on track.

I'm a bit concerned because I wasn't able to go through with the TMT test since my pulse rate was high at 120. However, my echocardiogram came back normal. Should I be worried about this? Could my anxiety be causing my pulse to be so high?
A high pulse rate of 120 beats per minute can be due to various reasons, including anxiety. However, it is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Since your echo is normal, it is reassuring regarding your heart function. To address the high pulse rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also help in reducing anxiety-related high pulse rates.
