I'm experiencing a high heart rate at intervals. What could be causing this? I don't have any symptoms related to COVID.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
High heart rate in periodic breaks can be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, dehydration, caffeine intake, or underlying heart conditions. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25mg) to help regulate your heart rate.

For how long can we rely on the CT coronary angio results? My mom is 65, diabetic, and had one done in February 2020it all looked pretty normal back then, no plaque in the main artery and a calcium score of zero. Her recent ECG also came back normal and she's not having any symptoms, but we've found that she has mild pulmonary hypertension with a systolic pressure of 34 mmHg on a 2D echo. She's not taking any blood thinners right now. Do you think we should consider repeating the CT angio?
CT coronary angiography is a non-invasive imaging test that can provide detailed information about the coronary arteries. In your mother's case, since her CT angio done in Feb 2020 showed a fairly normal result with no plaque in the main artery and a calcium score of zero, it indicates a low risk of significant coronary artery disease at that time. Given that the recent ECG is normal and your mother has no complaints, the decision to repeat the CT angio should be based on her current symptoms, risk factors, and overall clinical condition. Mild pulmonary hypertension as seen in the 2D echo with a systolic pressure of 34 mmHg may not necessarily warrant a repeat CT angio unless there are new symptoms or concerns regarding her cardiac health. It is important to continue monitoring her condition regularly with follow-up visits to her healthcare provider, who can assess the need for any further investigations or adjustments to her treatment plan.

I'm curious about whether there's a connection between having a hysterectomyspecifically when the ovaries are still healthyand the potential for heart-related issues down the line. Can you shed some light on this for me?
The removal of the uterus, known as a hysterectomy, is not directly correlated with an increased risk of heart-related diseases in the future, as long as the ovaries are functioning normally. However, there may be an increased risk of cardiovascular disease if both the uterus and ovaries are removed before natural menopause, due to the sudden decrease in estrogen levels. If the ovaries are intact and functioning normally after a hysterectomy, the risk of heart-related diseases is not significantly increased.
