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.

View allI'm having really bad pain in my left hand and shoulder since this morning. It's pretty severe, and I'm worried if it could be due to acidity or something related to the heart. How can I figure out what's causing it? Can you help me?
Left hand and shoulder pain can be a symptom of a heart-related issue, especially if it is severe. It is important to rule out any cardiac problems. I recommend you to take a tablet of Aspirin 325mg immediately and visit the nearest hospital for further evaluation and treatment. This can help in case it is related to a heart problem. If the pain is due to acidity, you can take an antacid like Tums (Calcium carbonate) 500mg. But it is crucial to get a proper diagnosis to determine the exact cause of your symptoms.

I'm experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest and shoulder when I walk. My TMT was negative, and everything else like the Echo and ECG came back normal. I don't have a history of illness, nor do I smoke or drink. Is there something I should be worried about?
Left side chest pain and left shoulder pain on walking without any history of illness, smoking, or drinking could be due to musculoskeletal issues or even anxiety. However, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to prevent any potential cardiac events. Additionally, you can take acetaminophen (500mg) for pain relief as needed. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a healthcare professional is recommended.

I'm really concerned about how blood pressure might affect heart health, especially since I'm diabetic. Can you explain whether high blood pressure or low blood pressure is more likely to lead to heart failure for someone in my situation?
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common cause of heart failure in diabetic patients. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to the heart working harder to pump blood, which can eventually weaken the heart muscle and result in heart failure. It is important for diabetic patients to manage their blood pressure effectively to reduce the risk of heart failure. For high blood pressure in diabetic patients, medications such as Lisinopril (brand name: Zestril) or Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) may be prescribed. The dosage will depend on individual factors and should be determined by a healthcare provider. On the other hand, low blood pressure (hypotension) is generally not a direct cause of heart failure in diabetic patients. However, extremely low blood pressure can lead to inadequate blood flow to the organs, including the heart, which can be harmful. It is important for diabetic patients to regularly monitor their blood pressure, follow a healthy lifestyle, and take medications as prescribed to manage both high blood pressure and diabetes effectively.
