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 recently had a blood pressure reading of 140 over 100 and my doctor prescribed some medication. Later, I went through an echo and it turned out I have high anxiety. I'm curious, can echo tests really measure anxiety? And do you think this is something that can be cured, or does it mean I'll be on medication for both anxiety and blood pressure for the rest of my life?
Anxiety cannot be measured in an echocardiogram. Anxiety is a psychological condition that is typically diagnosed based on symptoms and a clinical evaluation by a mental health professional. Treatment for anxiety may include therapy, lifestyle modifications, and medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Sertraline. It is possible to manage and even overcome anxiety with the right treatment approach. However, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and continue with any prescribed medications for both anxiety and high blood pressure to effectively manage both conditions.

I'm really worried because I was just sitting and out of nowhere, I felt a shock in my chest. My legs suddenly went cold, and I started vomiting something that tasted like acid. I have all my reports with me. Does this sound like something serious?
Sudden sensations of a shock in the heart, cold legs, and vomiting acid are concerning symptoms that should be promptly evaluated by a healthcare provider. While your recent 2D echo, TMT, and chest X-ray are normal, the acute nature of these symptoms, especially the feeling of a heart shock and cold legs, could indicate a serious condition such as a cardiac event or a severe gastrointestinal issue like a stomach acid reflux or esophageal spasm. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention to rule out any potentially serious conditions. Your healthcare provider may recommend additional diagnostic tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) if not already done, blood tests, or an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to determine the cause of your symptoms.
