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.

View allMy mom's been feeling really heavy in her chest and super tired since like 4 in the morning today. She doesn't have any heart issues, but she does sometimes deal with gastric problems. She also has thyroid. Could this be related to that, or do you think it's something else we should be worried about? What should we do next?
Based on the symptoms described, it is possible that your mother is experiencing acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend she take an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg to help relieve the symptoms. She can take 2 tablets as needed, but not exceeding 7 tablets in 24 hours. It is also important for her to avoid spicy and acidic foods that can trigger acid reflux. Additionally, given her history of thyroid issues, it is important to ensure that her thyroid levels are well-controlled as thyroid imbalances can sometimes contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms. I recommend she follow up with her healthcare provider to discuss her symptoms and thyroid management.

I'm dealing with high blood pressure since 2020 and I often have headaches and chest pain. My average blood pressure is around 150100. My doctor has prescribed me olmesartan 20mg. Should I be concerned about these symptoms, and is the medication dosage suitable?
Since you are already taking olmesartan 20mg for your high blood pressure, it is important to continue with the medication as prescribed by your doctor. In addition to olmesartan, you can also consider adding a calcium channel blocker such as Amlodipine 5mg to further control your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
