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 concerned about my health and would really appreciate some advice. Back in May 2017, I had an angioplasty and have been keeping up with my meds and exercises since then. Currently, I'm on cilacar for my blood pressure and crevast 7510. I used to take ecosprin 7520, but my ENT doctor suggested that it could have been causing my nasal block and sinus issues. I've had two nasal surgeries to remove polyps, and I've been on crevast for the past month. So, I'm just wondering how often I should be getting my ECG, treadmill, echo, and other tests done. I've been doing lab tests every three months and everything's come back normal. Any guidance on this would be really helpful.
it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. Since you have already been taking lab tests once every three months and they have been normal, it is recommended to continue with this frequency for now. Additionally, it is advisable to undergo an ECG, treadmill test, and echo once every 6-12 months to assess your heart function and overall cardiovascular health. However, the frequency of these tests may vary based on your individual health condition and any specific recommendations from your cardiologist.

I'm really worried because my dad just had a heart attack and we're using up all our savings on his angioplasty and diabetes treatment. With the whole covid situation, it's been really tough. The medicine Vymada 50mg is pretty expensiveabout 1100 per strip. Do you know of any cheaper alternatives that can still be effective? Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful!

I'm looking at my ECG report, and it says sinus rhythm with normal complexity, but there's a mention of nonspecific T and ST wave abnormality. Should I be concerned about this? What does it really mean for my health?
