I'm experiencing moments when my pulse rate shoots up to 200 or more, and it lasts for about 4 to 5 hours. Can you help me understand why this is happening?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A pulse rate of 200 and above for 4 to 5 hours can be a sign of a serious medical condition called supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). SVT is a rapid heart rate that starts in the upper chambers of the heart. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, caffeine, alcohol, or underlying heart conditions. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience such high and prolonged heart rates. The medication that can be used to help control SVT includes medications like Adenosine or Verapamil. The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by a healthcare professional based on your individual case.

View allI'm a bit worried about my recent 2D echocardiogram report. All the measurements seem to be in range and my EF is at 62, which I guess is normal? But the report mentions a mild MR on the mitral valve and mild PR on the pulmonary valve. I sometimes feel dizzy when I go outside, and my neurologist mentioned it might be cardiac neurosis. I can't shake the feeling that something might be wrong with my heart. Can you help me understand what's really going on?
In 2d echocardiogram report, all measurements are within range and EF is 62%. However, the report shows mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and mild pulmonary regurgitation (PR). You mentioned feeling dizziness sometimes when you go outside, and a neurologist suggested it may be a cardiac neurosis issue. It's understandable to be concerned about the findings in the report. The mild MR and PR in the echocardiogram report are common findings and may not necessarily be the cause of your symptoms. In your case, where the EF is normal and other measurements are within range, these mild valve issues may not be the primary reason for your dizziness. To address your symptoms of dizziness, it would be important to consider other factors such as hydration, blood pressure, inner ear issues, or anxiety. However, if you are still concerned about the mild valve issues, you can discuss with your cardiologist about monitoring them periodically. For your dizziness, you can try to stay hydrated, avoid sudden position changes, and practice relaxation techniques. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation may be needed. I hope this information helps alleviate some of your concerns.

I'm a little concerned about my ECG results. I did one using a portable ECG device and it says "Sinus Rhythm," but Im not sure if that means everything is actually okay. Is this considered clinically normal or should I be worried about something else?
Sinus Rhythm on ECG indicates normal heart rhythm. However, to determine if the ECG is clinically normal, other factors need to be considered such as symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. If there are no other concerning findings, the ECG can be considered normal.

I've been having a headache on the right side of the back of my head lately and when I checked my blood pressure it was between 140-160 for systolic and 90-110 for diastolic over the past week. My pulse is around 80-85 and oxygen is at 99. I dont have any other medical issues but I recently moved to a new country and this started after I got here. Could this change in food and location be affecting my blood pressure? Before moving, I was drinking and eating out about three times a week for a couple of months. Could that have caused my blood pressure to spike? Im planning on seeing a cardiologist next week but would appreciate any advice you might have.
Based on the information provided, the spike in your blood pressure could be related to various factors such as stress, dietary changes, and lifestyle habits. It is possible that the change in food and location, as well as the previous indulgence in drinking and dining out frequently, may have contributed to the increase in your blood pressure. To help manage your blood pressure, it is important to make some lifestyle modifications. You can start by reducing your salt intake, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress through relaxation techniques. Additionally, if your cardiologist deems it necessary, they may prescribe medication to help lower your blood pressure. It's good that you have an upcoming appointment with a cardiologist, as they will be able to provide you with a more personalized treatment plan after a thorough evaluation.
