I'm a bit concerned about my recent test results and was hoping you could help clarify. I did a 2D echo test, but I'm not sure what counts as normal results for that. Also, I ran for 12 minutes on a stress test machine and I'm wondering what the normal results should look like for that. Can you explain what these tests mean and what I should be looking out for?

View allI'm feeling concerned because my heart has been pumping really fast for a while before calming down to normal. When it speeds up, it feels like it's going to jump out of my chest. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations. Palpitations are sensations of a rapid or irregular heartbeat. One common cause of palpitations is atrial fibrillation, where the heart beats irregularly and often rapidly. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) to help slow down your heart rate. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25-50 mg twice daily. However, please consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm a bit worried about the change in meds. Initially, after just taking Telma AM 40, there was swelling in the feet, and the doc switched to TELMA 40 which was alright for a while, but then my blood pressure got high again. Now they've got me on TELMIKIND 40 H S and NUMLO5 for the past 8 days. But after taking them, I start feeling really weak and lethargic just a few hours later. Is this normal side effect or should I be concerned about this change?
That could be imbalance between electrolytes once check his electrolytes and visit Physician for proper evaluationa and appropriate management
